Demonstrating a\nsound that he called Glacial Dancehall, the Greek musician has worked with “beat”\nlegend Leslie Winer, paid tribute to Spacemen 3, and recently deconstructed `80s soul\n\/ pop \/ style icon Sade, for Berceuse Heroique. Last year he launched his own label, the\nBoomkat-backed, Extended Techniques.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRenowned for uncompromising, radical work, Jay Glass Dub’s transformation of\nTRAAMS might be his most accessible outing to date. The E.P. is as a whole is a warm,\neuphoric, sonic wash. Breathe’s tribal tom-tom-ed space rock raga is dropped down to\nambient drones and disembodied voices, before tripped-out drums add a distant,\nmuffled, funk. Sleeper, originally a lushly layered, uptempo thump, a Sonic Youth-like\nduet between TRAAM’s Stuart Hopkins and Soffie Viemose, of Danish band, Lowly, is\nserrated into synthetic shimmer. Now set to a sedated ceremonial march, Dimitris\ndraws out its delicate 6-strings, which were previously lost in the mix. Hallie, on the\nalbum, was a churning, cathartic rush. Full of noisy arcs, and electric shredding, it was\ngravity-destroying, orbit-obliterating stuff. Here, it’s a chunky, chugging, skank, dancing\nto muted foot stomps and hand claps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElijah Minnelli is perhaps the more elusive \/ mysterious of the pair. His press one-\nsheets basing him in the fictional town of Breadminster, and branding his imprint the\nCounty Council's Music Initiative. Since 2019, with a handful of self-released 7s,\nElijah has slowly built a complete mythology around this made up locale, which\nspills out into his monthly Soho Radio show, The Mustard Hour. Minnelli’s own\nmusic is a unique, distinct, fusion of reggae, Eastern European, and Latin American\ninfluences. The latest example can be found on fantastic 45 produced for Portland\ninstitution, ZamZam Sounds.\n\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fat Cat","offers":[{"title":"Black 12\"x2 | Rough Trade Exclusive","offer_id":50544272965963,"sku":"2188323","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/Unknown_b7ff1828_thumbnail_4096_7ddc1b44-1055-4fb0-aa45-6e84d0afed3b.png?v=1728324244","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/traams-in-dub-vol-1-the-j-glass-dubs-traams-in-dub-vol2-the-elijah-minnelli-dubs","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
