Search - Various Artists :: Homegrown Dub

2006 two CD set of remixes and dubs by New Zealand's finest reggae roots band. Katchafire's two albums (Revival and Slow Burning) have cemented their place as not only one of New Zealand's, but one of the world's pre-eminent reggae-roots bands. And here's a treat for all those existing fans, and anyone else who might be interested in what happens when you unleash a plethora of top producers and remixers onto the Katchafire catalogue. The results are an incredible fusion of reggae rhythms and big dance beats, fat dub sounds and eclectic electronic reworkings that bring a new dimension to the Katchafire sound. With remixes coming from the like of Pitch Black, the Mad Professor, Sola Rosa, Baitercell and Chong Nee, to name but a few, there's plenty of good listening to be had. The two discs contained on the release are entitled 'Homegrown Dub' and 'Homegrown Mix', so you'll have a fair idea of what to expect from each: relaxed downbeat tunes for sifting out to on a hot afternoon on the first, more uptempo dance beats to get you moving on the latter.
