Review: Toulouse isn't the first place you'd associate with dub and bass sounds but it is home to a lively scene and serves as the backdrop for the sounds of Stefan Dubs, a key figure in the city's scene. Known for his work with the former Folklore crew and now with Maquis Son Sistem and Sun Du MaquIs, Stefan's sound system is a beast, packing up to six super scoops. His live performances, often powered by a multi-track tape and vintage FX, bring a visceral, analog experience that blends modern influences with deeply rooted dub traditions. The release showcases the best of SOn Du MaquIs, with tracks like 'Mogale Stepper' delivering warm yet forward basslines, while maintaining a steppy rhythm without aggressive kicks. 'Puur Dub' brings a digital reggae skank, layered with Think Break elements, creating a perfect balance for deep bass connoisseurs. While this may sound a bit different from the label's usual output, it's a distinctive 7" sound that speaks to true dub enthusiasts.
