Dorfmeister presents a D Drummer Se

A 13 track album () — released May 26th 2003 on DIFFERENT DRUMMER

# #
Birmingham¹s Different Drummer have been releasing music since 1992, back in the days when Rockers Hi-Fi (nee Original Rockers) were starting to fuse their love of dub with 4/4 house rhythms. 'A Different Drummer Selection' captures some of the highlights of a 10 year love affair with all things deep and dubby. G-Stone¹s Richard Dorfmeister has hand-picked his favourite tracks from the extensive back-catalogue and Farda P adds his distinctive tones to the mix. The Drummer crew re-affirm the second city's pedigree for creative music - operating in a reggae rich context built by the likes of Steel Pulse, Benjamin Zephaniah, The Beat and Pato Banton. Drop the vocal, turn up the bass and drum, add your effect to the channel and the mixing desk becomes an instrument. Different Drummer Soundsystem will be on the road to celebrate the 10 Year Anniversary from May onwards. Decks, FX and the vocal charms of Farda P and MC Tweed plus a boxfull of DD classics and brand new dubplates.'

""demonstrating the versatility and sheer staying power of the sound?a slick snapshot of one of those label's contribution to all that?s good and dub-wise. *** - Lurch iDJ

Here is something that marchers to the beat of a different drum will luxuriate in. Thirteen prime cuts, all culled from Different Drummer?s varied vaults, beautifully sequenced by the dubmeister himself into over an hour of pure pleasure, with the smoothest of transitions ? including some minimal MCing from the sweet-talking Tweed. Moving deftly between energetic club dub and more spacious soundscapes, this is the kind of mellow mix that gets better and better the more you listen to it. I could go on but luckily for you the lazy grooves of Rockers Hi Fi and G Corp have blissed me out. Quick, rewind to Overproof Soundsystem?s Watch What You Put Inna, as that one always lights the touchpaper. Literally. Then sit back and re-read the great sleevenotes from a certain AJ. As he aptly puts it: ?Crashing out through quality rigs from Kingston to Kingswinford. Forward ? in all directions.? A landmark release that shows just how vitally alive dub is in 2003. - Freddie B Big Chill Website

?Different Drummer label have chosen to celebrate their ten years of Dub creation. Dub has gone from being just a production term and a rumour about a few Jah-conscious types to a hugely successful genre and now an uber-style?.Basically, the cool runnings help dawn go down nicely whilst the downbeat slip slidin? that you?ll find later on is in no mood to hurry either.? http://www.eyeballkid.com/diffdrumalbum.htm - Eyeballkid.com

"Mixed by the kindred Richard Dorfmeister, their tenth anniversary collection demonstrates the startling scope of their sound, rolling festival-friendly reggae, outernational soul and lush electronica ambience into one beautifully blunted groove.****" - Paul Clarke DJ Magazine
