This may raise an eyebrow or two as Russian immigrés and reggae may not be the first thing on your mind, however, this isn't your normal reggae runnings and DJ Vadim, aka Daddy Vad does not do run of the mill. In fact it's bigger than reggae. Seeing that this is his 11th long player there is as ever a twist. Residing in the multi -cultural cauldron of East Ham, this is fertile ground for innovation and creating The New and for a man with a musical career spanning 20 years, he comes with some very refined spirits. Never one to sit on his laurels, he comes with a duology of albums. The Dubcatcher and then The Soulcatcher - two sides to one man. First comes the bass and later comes the soul! The Dubcatcher is not the first reggae outing for Daddy Vad. That vein has been there ever since his first release in the 90s however this is the first time the whole skanks in a reggae style and fashion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bbe","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50470967083339,"sku":"376711","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/76d28dcc-f54f-4349-91bf-7b8e1e44b7b2_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727386426"},{"product_id":"dubcatcher-3-flame-s-up","title":"Dubcatcher 3 - Flame's Up","description":"\u003cp\u003eDJ Vadim returns to the dubcatcher kitchen to super hero fight more babylon baddies with his new army of cohorts. dancehall digital reggae sit along side hip hop rap and bass music. This isn't just a re hash of studio 1 or some sort of trap reggae or drill hybrid road rap. This is a futuristic re working from a revamped and relocated Vadim (London to Barcelona). A 3.0, an alternate definition of what modern urban music can be from a producer who is seemingly arming his skill set with each album sonically.
