First Up gotta thank Dubroom.org for the 2 amazing reviews of our last album Crux/DUB Collide Hybridize … completely STONKED!!!
“When it comes to DUB, Version Big-Fi must be credited with not only an original approach, but also with a progressiveness which might very well turn out to be heralding a new style within the disciple or remixing Drum and Bass driven music. In other words, Version Big-Fi take the technique called DUB to relatively unprecedented levels. We already saw the phenomenon of “mash-up’s”, online remixes and combinations of known tunes which the Version Big-fi definitely integrate in their works, but to simply point out to these “mash-up’s” (sorry, didn’t invent the name) wouldn’t justify their art.
“Eleven tracks, wherein the UK based DUB collective explores yet deeper and more mysterious realms of the digital technologies that enabled them to produce their widely acclaimed material.
After all, not everyone is nominated for the Reggae Grammy Awards. Reggae purists, especially those that basically believe how contemporary possibilities should not be applied by producers and (other) artists in order to play the music. They will have a hard time discrediting Version Big-Fi, though. Completely independent, perhaps even ignorant of the demands of the political correct crowd, the DUB heads keep producing some remarkable stuff that needs to be heard.
… yeah we know it’s a bit of a back-slap ting posting reviews of your own music but feck it as it reminds us that there are nice people out their digging what we do during those down days and we really appreciate it.
….. incase you missed it here’s the Dub version of our latest single Hands Up posted on our twitter page:

…. new StopThatTrain 19 out this week also …… talking of which …
“One of the best places on the web, sorry make that the best place on the web to find excellent dub mixes is http://stopthattrain.blogspot.com. Crammed full of mixes which put commercially released similar stuff in the shade Stop That Train is my first stop anytime I’m looking for a dub heavy mix. Once you have listened to one of their mixes you will crave them all. It’s impossible to choose the best of the lot but here’s a little taster for you. You will never need to buy another reggae/dub mix ever again.”
… last but not least we were kindly sent a Bootleg/Mashup by “The Nutty Dreadlack”, it mixes our track Chicken Shot from the Everything But album along with Run DMC’s “It’s Tricky” … must admit it was a bit strange hearing it at first which is a bit ridiculous seeing as we’ve been messing about with other peoples music for years! … totally honoured though and think it’s fun :) … big up
