Dr Das - Undergrowth

from Nomads In Sound v1​.​0 by Various

about

UNDERGROWTH by DR DAS is a fierce distorted dhol track from next Dr Das album set "Outsider Dub."

"Undergrowth," is inspired by producing and remixing with the label Indigenous Resistance (IR) for several years. IR promotes the ongoing struggles and actions of Indigenous people worldwide. In these struggles, Dr Das has remixed/reworked on contributions by Underground Resistance and Sly & Robbie amongst others.

Dr Das terms his musical approach "Dubnoiz." whereby percussion and noise move and fluctuate within a framework of drums and melodic basslines. Percussion on its own is original, organic trance music. By feeding it through distortion pedals it becomes even more emotive. Not only does percussion determine the tonic (key) of the tracks, but by distorting it, harmonics are released which imply melodies and basslines. The basslines, percussion loops and noise (Noiz) convey emotion, be it joy, anger or indicate militant intent.

Bassist/performer/producer Dr Das was one of the founder members of Asian Dub Foundation (ADF), which developed out of a youth music workshop he was running at London based music organization CM in 1993. He left ADF at the end of 2005 to resume his exploration of dub related experimental music and engage in new collaborations. He has since played bass with the likes of Red Cardell from Brittany, jazz clarinetist Arun Ghosh, Istanbul's Baba Zula and Dub Colossus (the Ethiopian project).
