RhoDeo 2121 Grooves

 Hello,  


Today's Artists consisted of singers Sunshine Jones and Moonbeam Jones, but also included many sit in and on-tour musicians over the years. Born in a rent party, Dubtribe Sound System distinguished itself as performers by performing live for many hours, rather than replaying their recordings from DAT tapes or portable computers, and touring without stopping, often bringing their own sound, lights, and traveling family with them. But unlike its few counterparts in North America, Dubtribe would depart from the warehouse movement and establish itself in the mid-1990s as a grass-roots tour de force, refusing help, press, or money from any outside interests.  ..  N Joy

Throughout the 1990s, Dubtribe Sound System established a devoted following amid the West Coast house scene because of its live performances, record releases, and self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. After Sunshine spent a summer on the Spanish party isle of Ibiza in 1989, "it started to make sense. All shapes and sizes getting together to dance", he says. "I wanted to share that. It changed me forever".Back in San Francisco, Sunshine had been leading an acid jazz band. When it needed a vocalist, he took on Moonbeam in 1990 ("I didn't want to meet anybody named Moonbeam," Sunshine says. "I had the shit beaten out of me for my name"). Inspired by Ibiza, he tried to transform his group into a live house-music act. Many of the band members bailed, leaving just Sunshine and Moonbeam to go it alone as Dubtribe. At first, it was a grind trying to get booked in a DJ-centric world, but the duo's DIY Come Unity events at the Bryant Street pad (the first event was a rent party) were a hit, and soon Dubtribe was making records
Comprised of Sunshine and Moonbeam Jones, the male-female duo met in San Francisco's thriving early-'90s house scene and soon after began making music together as Dubtribe. The duo's debut full-length, Sound System (1994), became a huge success, particularly the tracks "Sunshine's Theme" and "Mother Earth." The latter especially became a success, expanding Dubtribe's following beyond the West Coast. The duo began touring extensively, making its name more as a touring act than a recording one, in fact. Despite the relentless touring, Dubtribe did continue to release a steady output of music, mostly 12" EPs on its self-operated label, Imperial Dub Recordings. In 1999 the duo approached mainstream crossover success with Bryant Street, a high-profile album for Jive Electro released during the height of the late-'90s electronica boom. Following the hype, Dubtribe quietly compiled two double-disc archival releases in 2000 -- Archive, Vol. 1: Rare and Deleted, a collection of dancefloor tracks, and Archive, Vol. 2: Ambient 1994, a collection of tracks from the duo's Selene Songs era. The duo released these collections on Imperial Dub and hoped to attract the legion of new fans drawn in by Bryant Street. A year later, in 2001, Dubtribe released "Do It Now," its most popular dancefloor track to date. The track became so popular that the duo released an EP of remixes and one of versions. In the wake of this success the duo mixed Dubtribe Sound System vs. Chillifunk Records: Heavyweight Soundclash (2002), a 15-track mix showcasing the British house label.

This double-disc set compiles most of the early to mid-'90s tracks that made Dubtribe Sound System such a widely acknowledged group in the North American electronic dance music scene. While the group may be more recognized for their remarkable live performances, tracks such as "Mother Earth" and "Sunshine's Theme" make a strong argument that their productions were just as vital to their popularity. Relative to their highly organic later '90s work on Bryant Street, these recordings retain a certain degree of nostalgic sound to them, utilizing fairly traditional percussive rhythms with accentuating synth melodies modeled after the timeless 303 acid riff. Fortunately, their sounds are warmer than acid techno, often incorporating small spoken word mantras and plenty of catchy melodies. Since this album also compiles several remixes on the second disc, it's arguably the best place to discover this group's sound, even if later albums featured a much more evolved sound.

Dub tribe can only be described in one word, indescribable. They are a rare part of what makes music real, yet again proving it in their record, bryant street.sunshine and moonbeam are like twin flames that ignight the soul of the brilliantlly combined patterns of percussion, dub, electronic and.....i can't even think of words that come close to matching the beauty and love that their music creates and sends out to us who are searching for meaning, togetherness and love. i only feel sorrow for those who havn't dicovered these amazing artists. those who can appreciate true talent and passion for music should be exposed to the fine funk of dub tribe.

 This disc is not a frisbee, but whirlng dirvish of beat! It aint techno! Its a flavorful blend of congas, d'jembe's, beats, (cleverly mixed by mark farina!) into some of the finest house IVE EVER HEARD. I can't get enough of this stuff. I loved this groove so much that I named my dance after what it made want to do, "GROOVE". (groovejam in northampton mass). This disc is well worth the purchase......first heard this disc at DanceJam in berkley and it TOTALLY rocked the house, had the room groovin for a solid 10 minutes! You be the judge...get it and be prepaired to MOVE!
