Dub of the Month: December 2009
air date: 12/15/09
release date: 12/16/09

credits: Recorded at Dungeon1 in Allston, MA. Engineered and mixed by DB. Additional mixing by HB at Grandma's Studio.

notes: This is it, the grand finale of the 2009 Dub of the Month series. Ever since being turned onto the sitar as a young pirate after hearing The Beatles' "Within You Without You," I've had a thing for that distinct droning, and Tyler Randall played it with class. Tyler just recently moved from Ohio to Boston, and we're very glad we stumbled into him at Hemp Fest this year. We look forward to working with him again. The tune also features two more Macrotones, Aaron Duffy and Wyatt Posig, on everything from congas, djimbe, tabla, clave, shekere, shakers, vibraslap, and to keep it festive, sleigh bells (because dub is all about making space, right?). The battle of minimal vs. self-indulgent fun rages on... like Buddha said, "Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence."

Instead of the usual free download, the track streams in the player to the left. The main reason for this is the fact that the mix isn't quite perfected yet, but we are also working on Dub Of Ages Vol 1, the 12 track compliation of all of 09's dubs. Stay tuned for more release info!
