    Re:Visions on 10’’ are musical trips establishing feedbacks between past and future. The current 10’’ is part three of a series, started by Alois Huber and Oh Gee in 2009.

    For the first release, samples of Supermax, the Austrian dub priest pioneer, were worked into psycho-sonic dubstep heading towards Detroit techno. The second vinyl transformed«So wie du dir das denkst, geht das nicht» by the German bandDub Voyagers, this time equipped with a mix of Sam Gilly of House of Riddim. The 10’’ So nicht! became the 2011 summer hit.

    The current 10’’ Signs is a condensation of the homonymic number by the beat-boxing band Bauchklang from their 2010 album success, mastered by Falm (Formation Ohne Name – FON).

    With its pitching beat, the bass monster «Snuggery Mix» bores into brains and hips like a virus. Gilly’s uptempo mix treats the vocals in a more playful way, enhances the dub atmospheres of the Bauchklangtrack, and the bass runs skilfully roll into eternity.

    The constellation of musicians, producers, content and influences leavesno doubt: This 10’’ is something like a Lower Austrian tour de force. Alois Huber, Sam Gilly, Bauchklang and Falm are all local boys. And simultaneously, listening to Signs might suggest that Lower Austria is a province of Jamaica.

    Alois Huber and Oh Gee, the Austrian incarnation of Adrian Sherwood? This 10’’ is a good example of the extrapolations possible with dub and dancehall. In 2004, the German band Dub Voyagers recorded the track «So wie du dir das denkst, geht das nicht» (it doesn’t work the way you think). Huber/Oh Geeremixed it, and Sam Gilly (House of Riddim)recorded a version. German lyrics,brass section, relaxed bass runs: The correct sound feed for beach parties between Kingston and St. Pölten. The details show the true significance of this disc: Psychedelic sound experiments are introduced it seems subliminally, the bass booms as though it came from Studio 1. With the Gillyversion, one can detect his partiality for Roots Riddims of the King Tubby or Sly Dunbar brand, the echo chamber is set to lurching basses. While Huber/Oh Gee’s predecessor was mostly indebted to dubstep,this record heads back to dub future. The summer hit of the season.

    That’s the sound! Alois Huber, Austrian grand master of low-tuned bass beats, once againgives us dubstep of historical dimensions. It is just the way it should be – tracks co-producedwithOh Gee, the Swabian US/Chicago resident, founder of the label Dubonwax. Released in befitting 10’’ format, feat. SUPERMAX –akaKurt Hauenstein, dub priestpioneerin Austria,»Brother Max« samples, and then: this bass.It is no coincidence that the two versions are called »Chill Max« und »Dub Max«. While the first number takes up the kind of psycho-sonic ambient with twisted audio hallucinations well established by Huber and creates sombre soundscapes à la Burial, the second number is – at least in my opinion – this year’s best Austrian contribution to dubstep. Here, dubstep is clearly defined by dub and transformed into a techno context. Shimmering mid-range sounds might come from Dexciya at their height, while repetitive beats grind into the audio body unremittingly.Viciouslava, grumbling and pulsating. Time and space coordinates are vaporised. Definitely amust-havefor every well-sorted music collection, andintegral partfor every DJ bag anyway!
