...."NOISE TAPE REGGAE"....

A very nice new 7" from Portland's own STRATEGY .. (AKA) Paul Dickow.

This music was made using repurposed dusty old reggae mix tapes spliced into loops played back on a 4 track. Mixed live, and processed live using only the finest of analog equipment.

This record is a beautiful adventure of familiar old sounds filtered through a new lens. Dubby fuzzy layers, lots of delicious spring reverb, and some heavy bass. All are very present indeed.

The B side puts me into an unknowing transcendental heavy lidded state every time i listen..

try it at33rpm..? its nice at both.. always a plus!

The vinyl comes in a sealed plastic sleeve. very sexy, took me a week just to break the seal, it looks so nice.

.. buyable HERE

These excerpts are really just teasers... for the full open blooms you gots to buy it!

When I was a kid, it seems like there was a lot of great pop music. There was George Michael, Michael Jackson." -Kanye West  Fader # 58 interveiw

My personal faves are the DJ and dancehall sets, but naturally the

DUBS sets are deep and nice... They are all fantastic, pick a flavor.
