Brendon Moeller has always pushed at the outer reaches of electronic dub with his Beat Pharmacy outfit. On this new album, he looks to have side-stepped the traditional and forged something wholly unique with the help of some of the best poets in the business – it’s dub, yes, but these dub-wise protest songs cut deeper than your average bass lick. Playing across rhythms like techno, reggae, folk, and minimal soul, the music is loosely etched in digital rhythms, dragging you deep, deep down into your subconscious, whilst the verbiage paints pictures you’ll want to see and hear. Vocalists include dubstep favourite Spaceape, Coppa, Paul St Hilaire, Damon Aaron (“Time” is a particularly powerful cut), Infinity & Ras B. No preaching, no lessons, just truthful lyrics and 21st century music – enjoy it with an open mind.
