Sak Dub I / 2Shanti - Osaka Steppas Vol 1

Steppas Records presents 'Osaka Steppas Vol. 1', the first in a series of releases showcasing the Japanese underground dub movement. This edition features Osaka producers Sak Dub I and 2Shanti. Sak Dub I's raw and unrelenting steppas sound developed in the subterranean clubs of Osaka, a port city famous for its counterculture night life. Inspired not only by the sounds of Jamaica, but also drawing inspiration from UK and European soundsystem culture, Sak Dub I has enkindled a new sound; unembellished, incandescent, combustable dub. 2Shanti of Cotyledon Soundsystem contributes two equally tempestuous cuts of his dubstep inspired, contrary to its modest title this track delivers 20 tonnes of pressure with enough bassweight to test even the toughest of soundsystems. Presented in a beautifully designed full colour sleeve inspired by the works of the legendary ukiyo-e woodblock artist, Hokusai.
