about

Monty Luke shares new EP and announces upcoming ‘Nightdubbing’ LP on Rekids.

The Black Catalogue bosses' second album explores dub-infused dance music and, following the recent two EP drops on Rekids, will be released on Radio Slave’s imprint on 29 March.

“In a world full of copycats, "Nightdubbing" is my attempt to look deeper within for inspiration. It's a dive into the influence that Dub, House, and Techno has had on me as an artist.” - Monty Luke

Succeeding part two of Monty Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ series on Rekids, the US-via-Berlin artist unveils an album of the same name on Radio Slave’s lauded Rekids imprint. ‘Nightdubbing’ encompasses the first two instalments and adds five more tracks of intricate sonic material, completing this gorgeous work of art already supported by Fred P, nd_baumecker, Louise Chen, and Laurent Garnier.

Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ album starts in the club, with the rave-primed ‘40 Acres And A Terabyte’ utilising the rich melodies of deep house alongside the crushing weight of subs. It is followed by the title track, with ‘Nightdubbing’ taking a more traditional house route, its soothing sounds enveloping the listener while honing in on that reverb sweet spot.

Black Catalogue boss and former Planet-E label manager Monty Luke’s timeless ‘Nightdubbing’ effortlessly traverses deep house and techno rife with bass-rattling low-end and experimental rhythms. It is no surprise, then, that the album is heavily inspired by ‘70s and mid-80s dub reggae, seeing Luke incorporate and modernise the genre’s iconic rhythms, spoken word poetry, and spacious bursts of harmony across the LP, particularly in tracks like ‘Cop Outside’ and ‘Travelling ‘Round The Sun’.

‘Bob Molly’ picks up pace with nods to Caribbean dem bow-like rhythms of old, Monty Luke filling the space between its infectious beat with tumbling percussion and echoing plucks. Tracks like ‘Supernova’, ‘New World / Old Future’ and ‘Starstorms’ return to the modern-day traditions of club music while ‘Gamma Raze’, ‘Future Mystic’, and ‘Roots’ again find room in between the dancefloor and sound system listening sessions. The ambient ‘Theme From Nightdubbing’ is another stand-out on the album, successfully leaving an opening to escape the world through music and making the mind wander via swirling melody and sparse drums.
