500-Push-Up

Black vinyl
Iconic dub and reggae “rhythm section” Sly and Robbie (AKA Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare) first worked with Vladislav Delay back in 2018, during the recording sessions for their collaborative album with trumpeter Nils Petter Molvaer, “Nordub”. It’s therefore not that surprising to see them once again join forces with the Finnish experimentalist for another joint full-length
“500 Push Up” is based on grooves, vocalizations and field recordings made at Dunbar and Shakespeare’s Jamaican studio, which the Finn then chopped up, reworked and overdubbed in his studio. The result is a set of tracks that take dub in intoxicating new directions, adding heaps of hazy electronic sounds and a distinctive swing that’s hugely alluring
