Radikal Guru is a Polish producer, Beyond The Borders isn't his mots recent release, but its most recent album. It's all about top quality dub featuring excellent vocalists with a variety of styles. Recommended.

Elijah Minnelli - Clams As A Main Meal (2025)

Did you know folk cumbia dub existed? In any case that's what Elijah Minnelli is doing on Clams As A Main Meal. And, believe it or not (but trying it will make you a beliver in cumbia folk dub), the reuslt is brilliant and the album not only stand out as a curiosity (and it's definitely also a curiosity) but is also really enjoyable and even addicitive (yes, rehab for folk cumbia dub addicts is the next booming business, you'll thank me later, you're welcome). Good good stuff!

New Age Doom featuring H.R. - Angels Against Angels (2026)

Angels Against Angels is another dub flavoured album from New Age Doom, this time teaming with Bad Brains singer H.R. And it's no less good than the awesome one they did with Lee Perry and Donny MacCaslin. But of course different. Again psych/jazz rock infused with a lot of dub, but this time with a rawer feel and a glorious punk assault in the middle of the album. And cool vocals by H.R.Truly addictive stuff. One of  my favourite album this year so far.

Marta & Tricky - Out The Way (2025)

You probably already know that Tricky (with Massive Attack and solo) has been one of the leading character in trip-hop music for more than thirty years now. And if you know Tricky you probably also know Marta's voice since she collaborated on many albums with him since his first solo, Maxinquaye in 1995. On Out The Way, the first album released with both their names, they prove they still got a great chemistry together and are as inspired as ever. If dark & dreamy electro/dub music is your thing, you'll feel at home and very pleased with Out The Way. Highly recommended! (but comes with a warning : highly addictive stuff!)

LOTU - Arachnid (EP 2025)

I don't know much about LOTU, but all you need to know is that his Arachnid EP (4 tracks) is an excellent slice of bass music, going from industrial dub to dubstep, each track having a different flavour, dark, deep, heavy and trippy. Good stuff.

Al Cisneros vs The Bug - Rosin (2022)

From this unexpected collaboration (resulting from a tour Om did with Kevin Martin's King Midas Sound) between Al Cisneros (who was the drummer in Sleep and then Om) and The Bug aka Kevin Martin we have a near perfect instrumental dub album (4 tracks, around 20 minutes). Especially recommended if you like it with a slightly dark feel.

Ghost Dubs - Damaged (2024)

Ghost Dubs is German producer Michael Fiedler and Damaged is his first album as Ghost Dubs, released by Kevin martin label PRESSURE. Of course you can expect quality industrial dub, and this is what you'll get, but expect something less heavy and dark than The Bug, something more in an ambient/drone vein. A nice hazy atmosphere, with subtly noisy and ominous tones. Good stuff.

The Bug - Machine (2024)

Last year, The Bug (producer Kevin Richard Martin) released a series of five EP called Machine, from I to V, and then compiled some of its tracks on this Machine album released by Relapse. As expected from The Bug, it delivers the best dark and industrial dub. This time it's all instrumental, perfect for feeling the power of the beats and getting lost into the pulsating bass. Strong stuff!

GAUDI - 100 Years of Theremin (The Dub Chapter) (2020)

GAUDI is an English dub producer who has worked with the best in the scene. On this very special release, 100 Years of Theremin (The Dub Chapter), called he's paying tribute to Theremin  (the theremin is an electromagnetic instrument invented by Russian inventor Leon Theremin in 1920) with a dub album with theremin. He's playing the theremin and invited the best dub producer to craft the riddims : Mad Professor, Scientist, Prince Fatty, Dennis Bovell, and Adrian Sherwood among others. So we have theremin melodies over dub riddim and the result is really catchy and trippy. Highly recommended!

Killa P & Numa Crew - Killing Time (2024)

Killing Time is the first album from London vocalist Killa P and Italian collective Numa Crew. But everything sounds very British bass music with most vocalists (Killa P and guests) expertly delivering a ragga style flow, over productions going from grime to jungle to dubstep to dancehall and dub. Really recommended for anyone into these kinds of music. Good stuff!

Dub Killer - Jungle Escape (2024)

Some reviews could almost write itself: Dub. Killer. Jungle. Escape. Got the picture? Well, almost, because, a bit unfortunately I would say, there actually ain't a lot of Jungle here, don't expect many old school drum & bass jungle loops and  breaks. This is a lot closer to modern dubstep. Jungle Escape is nevertheless a good dub techno album, I enjoy listening to it and i'll check Dub Killer other releases.

Babe Roots - Through We (EP 2021)

Did not review this EP at the time (2021) because it's just three tracks plus an alternate version one, and I hoped an album was coming soon. Unfortunately, this Through We EP is still Babe Roots latest release. I really hope it's not the last. Along with the Kevin Martin (The Bug) stuff (but in a vein less dark & indus) it's my favourite recent dub related artist. Deep & immersive digital / tech dub, with always excellent choices of vocalists. Recommended!

Andrew Nolan & God Is War - The Hunt (2023)

Seems grindcore is a good school for industrial music, we had Mick Harris, JK Broderick, but there's also Andrew Nolan (ex The Endless Blockade, also doing Intensive Care) who is building a nice discography in industrial / dub music. His collab with God Is War (dark electro / industrial producer), called The Hunt, is a nice piece of illbient music a dark mix of industrial / dub / hip-hop). Recommended stuff!

Fire feat Adrian Sherwood (2023)

This is a live album from Italian band Fire (I dont know much about them but now look forward to hear more) with Adrian Sherwood doing live mixing/dubbing. In case you don't know Adrian Sherwood : with his label On-U Sound he's the main non-Jamaican dub producer since the eighties up to now. The result is great jazz/electronica/dub music, warm and trippy. Great stuff!

The Bug - Absent Riddim (2022)

This new The Bug (Kevin Martin) album called Absent Riddim is 17 different versions of a beat/riddim thta at the origin was for a Absent in Body remix. With a different vocalists on each tracks. Usual Kevin Martin collaborators and others. Impressive crew (J.K. Broderick, Dälek, Roger Robinson,Dis Fig, Ethan Lee MacCarthy, Nicholas Bullen, Moor Mother, and Nazamba and Jaimie Brach who sadly both passed away during the making of the album). The album is also paying tribute to one riddim Jamaican dancehall albums. Convincing exercise from the great master of industrial dub, and from his guest vocalists as well.

G36 vs JK Flesh - Disintegration Dubs (2021)

G36 vs JK Flesh - Distintegration Dubs is a split album with Justin Broadrick as JK Flesh (the name he uses for his more electronic music) and Kevin Martin with Gorgonn, his live collaborator in The Bug, as G36. Unsurprisingly, this is dark and heavy industrial dub music. And of course it is excellent.

The Bug - Fire (2021)

After a more quiet / ambient and I'd say less memorable In blue, bass music legend Kevin Martin is back with a really strong The Bug album, aptly called Fire. The heavy and dark industrial dub sounds are perfect soundtracks for an awesome team of vocalists from the jungle/ragga/dubstep/hip-hop scenes, from the poetic spoken words of Roger Robinson to the fast rapping of grime finest Flowdan, with also Moor Mother and other good vocalists. Recommended stuff.

Nun Gun - Mondo Decay (2021)

Nun Gun is the collaboration of photograph Brad Feuerhelm and two Algiers members, Lee Tesche and Ryan Mahan, the album cassette Mondo Decay is the companion of a post-industrial decay themed photograph book of Brad Feuerhelm. The music is a mix of modified giallo soundtrack, synth-wave, dub, hip-hop, trip-hop. With featurings from a few vocalists (the track with Mark Stewart is especially awesome). Loved it from the beginning and listen to it every day (sometimes more than once). Easily one of the most interesting and best album for this year. I can't recommend it enough.

Andrew Nolan - Black Creek (2021)

Black Creek is a solo album from Andrew Nolan (ex The Endless Blockade and Column of Heaven). It could be described as industrial noise dub, and could remind the works of Mick Harris, Kevin Martin and Justin Broadrick. Trippy and dreamy and vaguely menacing and bizarre soundscapes. Excellent stuff.

Kurushimi - Chaos Remains (2021)

Chaos Remains, the third album from Kurushimi, (I reviewed their first one HERE) is another nice piece of instrumental saxophone driven free-jazz mixed with noise-rock and dub (John Zorn's Naked City being obviously their main influence). This time two long tracks among short ones, with more quiet moments alternating with more noisy ones. Good stuff.
