CAUTION : These sounds are extremely habit forming.
The East Coast Dub Cartel is a coalition of the east coast's best reggae, ska, dub and rock steady artists. The Cartel was organized by P.Dub of Predator Dub Assassins, who created this series of recordings to showcase some of the brightest talents and most interesting faces of the genre.
The distinct sound of the album may be familiar to those familiar with Predator Dub Assassins as Dub Assassins front man P.Dub handles the writing and production and plays multiple instruments on the tracks. Though each artist has their own unique style, this lends a warm cohesiveness to the CD. The recordings were engineered at the Dub Shack utilizing session band The Dub Smugglers who both augment the bands that appear, and also provide an excellent backing to the solo artists. Members of the Dub Assassins also appear on many of the tracks.
