CROOKLYN DUB CONSORTIUM
Certified Dope, Vol. 1 (WordSo’und) SPECTRE The Illness (Word Sound Two heavy duty dub offerings from the grim streets of New York. Crooklyn Dub Consortium is a compilation of dub excursions from the various disturbed souls that inhabit the nocturnal domain of
Crooklyn, NYC. This ain’t warm Jamaican dub, and it’s not exactly the sound of the stoned ON-U crew. No, these guys have been smoking some seriously stinky ganja, and come up with an altogether darker sound. The ballistic basslines and staggering beats are there, but it’s all infused with the atmosphere and dread of the darkest trip-hop. The Illness is a whole album of some of the illest, darkest, murkiest, dubbed out hip-hop grooves ever conceived. As the bio says: ‘Like Stephen King on wax, Spectre spins the soundtrack to your darkest nightmares,’ this is some evil shit for the dark hours, and it's truly disturbing folks.
