What time is it? It’s time to get Dubwise and turn y’all on to SHELTER’s latest record Checkmates In Dub out now via Emotional Response. For 5 incredible tracks, this creator of music takes you on a sonic journey that will have you saying, damn, this record is RAD AF! SHELTER pays homage to his Dub ancestors but pushes this genre to an otherworldly place of audio magic. “Shutting Out Bishops” hits tones that will have you looking at your past in bliss while at the same time telling your present that it’s all going to be okay. As I inhale the soundscapes of “Kings, Knights And Rooks,” I exhale the nights when I would smoke the chalice with Augustus Pablo as he practiced songs right in front of us, live and direct. Yo SHELTER, you should know that your visions of Dub make me see the world for what it truly is.
