joergmueller – Heavy Heart

The second album by Joergmueller after his first well received minimalistic dub-techno-ambient mini album 'Mjiu' released on Shoreless Recordings back in 2009. Gone is the more quiet ambient with gentle dub minimalism approach of the 1st album which has now been replaced with a more rhythmic rooted style of instrumental Jamaican like dub, along with all the classic BC dub-techno elements we DT fans love: Chords, delays, catchy techno hooks & sweeps all used with finesses without taking away the reggae feel - but adds to it! A subtle ambiance also flows beneath the rhythms & beats adding a sense of airy mellowness that.brings a softening touch to the dub baselines . Tracks are also spiced-up on occasion with some wonderful use of rooted reggae sounds/vibes and effects and even the occasional use of Jamaican-Ska vocal that brings that extra layer of reggae rooted immersion to its already excellent dubby head-nodding to mellowing reggae & dub-techno sound. A album that brings both rooted and modern dub that innovative in a uncomplicated way making this a enjoyable album for what ever the mood and esp. If you enjoy Rhythm & Sound, System(2nd album,), International Observer, The Nautilus Project, Intrusion...then you will certainly enjoy this.
