Free Noize: Dub Gabriel- Anarchy & Alchemy

Dub Gabriel is one of the unsung pioneers of global fusion. He has been mixing up sounds from the middle east and Jamaica with dub and hip hop since the mid 90's on his many releases on the Wordsound and Baraka Foundation labels and through his legendary Brooklyn Massive club nights. For many years he was one of the nexus points for a thriving underground Brooklyn scene that produced a lot of very influential, genre defying music. I have long admired and enjoyed his work and was excited when he moved over here to the Bay Area. Gabe has just released a new album called Anarchy & Alchemy on his own "Destroy All Concepts" label and I think it is one of the strongest things he has ever done. Effortlessly covering a wide range of styles, from pounding dance-hall dub to Michael Stipe singing a cover of a classic tune from the band Suicide, Anarchy & Alchemy is the work of an artist that has always stayed on the cutting edge of the music scene. Check out the free track that Gabe has been gracious enough to let us share and dig deeper into the full release to experience its full scope and power.
