You would be forgiven for thinking this is a session straight from King Tubby or Augustus Pablo but in fact it's a brand new side-project from Canadian producer/musician Mike Paprocki aka Echo Pilot and multi-instrumentalist Kenta Shinohara from Ehime in Japan.
This EP was released in August last year although it's only just come to my attention. It's beautiful in its simplicity. It hits all the right notes for classic dub reggae yet has a fresh slant with the introduction of one or two modern production tricks.
It's a very smooth transition for these two musicians as they both lean towards the downtempo electronica, although Paprocki is also known as a breakbeat specialist as well as dabbling in the dancier side of world music. He released a full album last year and this is from it. You've got to admire the craftmanship in this.
Kenta Shinohara is also a well established musician who's love of electronica and dub has seen him involved in a number of projects. If I can point you to his MySpace page and in particular his tracks that he has added. Of special note is track 4 - 'Dub Session Dark Ver (Echo Pilot Remix)'
