-Dub music in a Universal and Spiritual togetherness, echoes all over the weekly highlight to new releases, the new Portuguese dub activist album, Spiritual Evolution from BANDULU DUB!

Released last 21st August for global appreciation, at French net label, Fresh Poulp Records, Spiritual Evolution takes us on a ride from Japan to Mexico, Cyprus to Spain or Netherland to Micronesia!

Gathering 21 producers and artists from All over the World, Bandulu Dub presents a journey where Dub, World and electronic music are one and the same!

Coming from north Portugal region, Minho, Bandulu Dub is one of the most active and recognized Portuguese Dubmasters. In spite of the Portuguese nationality and headquarters, it’s been quite some time since the project brain, Bruno Araújo, outsized Bandulu Dub to a global family, featuring a big amount of international cooperation’s in varied fields: musical, vocal, production, mixing or engineering!

After a couple of online author releases, wid emphasizes to 2007 Ganja Poetry, he joined forces wid famous net-label Fresh Poulp Records. Following dis years featuring at Dub Tentacles Vol.1 compilation, he returns now in full strength, presenting the new album Spiritual Evolution!

Yet another chapter in the short Portuguese Dub history, but promising to become a world reference landmark, to what comes out of our heavy basslines underground culture.

A kind of Planet Dub expedition is Spiritual Evolution main focus, giving us the chance to discover some new and interesting artists and projects, coming from the underground scene blooming in the various continents.

The Roots and Dub reggae music presented here, puzzle’s us between the organic and electronic, wid several traditional Dubwise action over the tracks: Brilla El Sol, Moringa or the hypnotic East Dub.

Heavy trends like Steppers and Electro-Dub, appear in the form of 3 of the best tunes in the album: Planeta Terra, wid Portuguese language represented by Brazilian singer Dacal; Roots mi Tourist, featuring 2 top acts Roots Ista Posse (France) and Obed Brinkman (Netherlands); and Mechanisms and Processes, a frenzy electro-dub tune, balanced wid Japanese Takanishi Tomoyasu beautiful melodica arrangements.

Tracks like Long Hair Man, Changes or En La Piel, stand out a more instrumental roots reggae sound, and although the World Music (or Beat) is very characteristic all over the album (mainly influenced by the origin of the collaborations), the intro track Ayurvera, and the title track Spiritual Evolution, are two pleasant examples of Nature and (H)Earth sounds in Bandulu’s dub.

Featuring more usual partners, tunes like Flag, wid Jah Billa & Haji Mike, and Dub Comet, alongside Issac Maya, carry alternative soundings from Dub and Jungle, turning Spiritual Evolution into an even more diverse release, both in language and instrumentation.

The universality of styles, musicality and sensations assembled in Spiritual Evolution, represent themselves over an authentic around the Globe trip, synonymous of Bandulu Dub multiculturalism, and guiding teachings: Mother Nature and Global Union.

13 tunes that collectively work as an instrument, towards the growth and blending of the Evolved Spirits that we all are to become!
