Based in Cyprus, Dubophonic are another dub label who never seem to put a foot wrong, delivering high quality dub releases on a regular basis and Muflon Dub Soundsystem more than pull their weight when contributing to that output.
Apparently we can expect many more collaborations with Greek vocalist Irie-D but this'll more than do for now, a call to battle negativity and oppression dedicated to those whose courage and compassion make a difference. Sometimes it's best just to let the sleeve notes speak for themselves:
'In times where hope can feel distant, the song shines a light on those who still care deeply for their communities, neighbours, society, and the planet itself. It is a message of respect and gratitude to the brothers and sisters who keep working for change, often quietly but with great strength and determination.'
Welcome sentiments, of course, and the music certainly doesn't do them a disservice, matching energetic roots reggae with Irie D's delivery and those of Polish opera singer Arleta: it's a vocal partnership that maybe shouldn't work but triumphantly and gratifyingly does.
