"When Folk Meets Dub and Reggae" - great selection from Andy Thomas, bringing to light an unexpected musical hybrid you didn't realise you needed in your life. Almost all his recommendations are worth checking out but I particularly liked the sound of Perpetual Musket by Elijah Minnelli, Guanyin by Jah Wobble & Family and Air An Turas by An Dannsa Dub

Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Joseph Kamaru (KMRU) sneaked this Dub-heavy dark invocation out early in December as a companion-piece to their excellent Disconnect album. It's three tracks that progressively descend into the decaying depths of Dub, with Kamaru's witchy incantation slowly disintegrating in the murk.
...a new study of foreboding tension, hope, and profound sonics that marries depth-trawling dub with Kamaru’s voice, ambient sensibilities, and negative space. "I think Otherness carries the whole weight and the complexities of Disconnect,” Kamaru explained. “It extends the album into spaces of the unknown while remaining opaque..."
Otherness is out now on Phantom Limb.

By chance I stumbled across the doom-filled Dub of Deadline Paranoia and this led me to the three EPs released by Dutch label Ongehoord in the last few years. Well worth checking out.

Had the new Softsssss EP from London’s Will Hofbauer on a few times recently and it's good. Left-of-centre, downbeat electronic music with a little Dub thrown in for good measure. Nice artwork too
