Dubtown Abbey meets Omar Perry - Dubtown Abbey meets Omar Perry EP (Eigen Beheer)

Dubtown Abbey: "Omar perry has been an inspiration to us for years, and we've always admired his unique style and contribution to reggae music. We reached out to him after seeing him play on a show where Nick's former band was doing the supporting act. The key idea was joining forces to create something fresh and exciting, and fortunately, he loved the concept. We knew that blending his powerful vocals with our dub-infused soundscapes would result in an electrifying musical experience!".

Omar Perry voegt toe: "When Dubtown Abbey approached me, I was intrigued by their innovative approach to reggae and dub. I've always been open to collaborations that push boundaries and expand the genre. After listening to their music and seeing their passion, I knew we could create something special together. After visiting the studio, their relaxed way of working and never-ending hospitality and kindness pushed me even more to pursue this collaboration.".

Naast Koen, Nick en Omar, vonden we in de credits van de EP ook nog de namen van Sander Vanackere (gitaar en bas), Sam Verryken, Mats Bogemans en Jan Lettany (blazers) en tenslotte ook nog Tim 'Irie Ilodica' Brion (bas, toetsen en gitaar) en Dirk Quadflieg (gitaar), twee muzikanten waarvan Dubtown Abbey ondertussen al noodgedwongen afscheid moest nemen.

Ook Dubtown Abbey koos voor het populaire showcase format en in de tracklist vindt u dan ook 6 vocal cuts en evenveel dubs, waarbij digitale en analoge instrumentatie hand in hand gaan. De UK stepper producties, gaande van eerder rootsy als 'Rub-A-Dub' of de ode aan Jamdown 'Sweet Jamaica', tot haast industrieel zoals in de bijna naar techno neigende afsluiter 'Good Vibes', zullen het soundsystem-publiek zeker kunnen bekoren en tonen een kant van Omar Perry waarmee we iets minder vertrouwd waren.
