Anti Bypass

Anti Bypass

To those that don't know all the tech-know about Dub Studio works: "Bypass" is a mode on an effect device which basically disables that particular effect. Yes, sometimes that is necessary although it seems to be a little bit different in Anti-Bypass' studio.

An 8 tracks live act in the King Tubby's tradition from the 70' ; from the recording to the mixing technics, building and modifications of his own gear; Anti Bypass delivers a pure homemade roots-dub music for all the lovers of old jamaicans studios sound, splashing spring reverbs and ruff echoes.

All the tracks are mixed strickly one shot at the console using hardware analog effects, no computer automations,mutes or fx plugs.... in studio as in live act...

Peace & Dub...

Gipsy Kings

Gipsy Kings

The Gipsy Kings are a group of flamenco, salsa and pop musicians from Arles and Montpellier in the south of France, who perform in Andalusian Spanish. Although group members were born in France, their parents were mostly gitanos, Spanish gypsies who fled Catalonia during the 1930s Spanish Civil War. They are known for bringing Catalan rumba, a pop-oriented music distantly derived from traditional flamenco music, to worldwide audiences. The group originally called itself Los Reyes.

Their music has a particular rumba flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as salsa and rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and gypsy rhapsody meet salsa funk".
