''Ostensibly this is an outing exploring a "counter factual historical approach of dub music, stripped down to its basic drum/bass/vox/effects form." Indeed, the debut tape from Jay Glass Dubs on Parisian label Hylé Tapes dives into the methodology of dub more deeply than anything since Creation Rebel’s epochal Starship Africa. Scattered samples of horns and distant musical stabs resembling vintage Jamaican groups get strewn into delay-ridden cosmic riddimscapes riddled with thick clouds of sweet vapour. It’s a stunning reassessment of dub music’s bountiful possibilities, similar to the likes of Sun Araw, yet somehow remaining closer to the music’s Jamaican origins. Dimitris Papadatos - aka The Hydra - is the Athens-based producer behind the name, and promises plenty more Jay Glass Dubs to come in 2016. Jah bless!''
