Nuh Skin Up Dub
Boomkat Product Review:
Thee darkest, weirdest dub perennial from Keith Hudson, 1979, blooms on vinyl for first time in years, ready to scatter smoke and minds into the late and early hours...
First released in 1979 and highly in-demand ever since, the dub sibling to Keith Hudson’s ‘Nuh Skin Up’ pushes that album’s already stark blooz and The Soul Syndicate’s deadly riddims hard into the echo chamber with a balance of experimental nous and heads-down grooves that has assured its place in the pantheon of the most haunting dubs.
Out of print for decades until a 2007 pressing spiked it back in the water table, the album firmly holds up nearly a half century since its original release on the basis of a future proofed minimalism that continues to haunt successive generations with its bony percussion and a dematerialised soul exemplary of dub metaphysics at its transcendant best.
Up there with the likes of Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry in terms of his dual role as songwriter and desk-tweaking dub maverick, Hudson really gets inside his own tunes, and The Soul Syndicate’s instrumentals, with the uncanniest insight, turning the likes of its title corker into clouds of pillowy steppers bass and streaking echoic contrails.
The way he inverts the vocals on ‘Ire Ire’ to sound properly wrong-end-of-telescope against the foregrounded crack of congas and spectral organ is just magic, and lays the groundwork for so much dub experimentation to come from the likes of everyone from Rhythm & Sound to Tricky, along with the likes of his spellbinding, skeletal steppers dub masterwork ‘Troubles’.
