Dobbs
'The Alchemist'
(Redgrave Records)
Released : 21st Feb / Distribution : SRD
Info :
Dj / Producer Dobbs returns with the follow up single to the widely
acclaimed ?Skydeck?. ?The Alchemist? is based around some samples taken from
remarkable UK + US film footage of LSD drugs testing on soldiers in the
1940?s and 1960?s. The UK film shows a platoon of soldiers sent off to do an
exercise in a forest after being given huge doses of LSD, and the hilarious
/ terrifying results..
Dobbs first single ?Skydeck? was played by a host of DJs from Mary Anne
Hobbs on BBC Radio 1 to Adam Freeland to John Digweed, and this is no
exception, with some of the reactions listed below. Deep breakbeat would be
one way to describe this track which works over a big system but has the
musicality and chilled edge to be enjoyed at home.
Christian J provides the tougher mix on the B side, and he really beefs
things up to maximum effect providing a storming club breaks cut, whilst
keeping the atmospheric vibe of the original. A great package here then with
two quality mixes for different vibes.

? DJ / Producer Dobbs follows up the well received ?Skydeck? single with
this deep breaks excursion featuring the voices of soldiers who were being
road tested with LSD in the 1940?s. The original is quite chilled and
musical, with Christian J?s beefed up dancefloor version on the flip
managing to keep most of the atmospherics. Nice package all round.? Rennie

"Second single from one of the most exciting names to emerge recently in the
deep prog/breaks scene. A themed record based around vocal samples of LSD
testing carried out on soldiers around the Second World War(!) It may sound
a bit far-fetched but the Original Mix is an atmospheric and melodic deep
breaks journey that most will find entertaining. Christian J provides the
remix and totally hits the spot with an altogether tougher stance that all
prog and breaks DJ's should take a large dose of and enjoy!" - M8/M8

others also.
Future Funk Squad
Got the cd last week and been listening to it a few times great tracks
mate, played in berlin on Friday as a set opener and it
took the roof off.
3 Beat Records
No 3 in the shop sales chart
the intro and start is brilliant and the track
gets better as it goes on.
Christian j remix- the fucking nuts as well very me, should do really
well.
Undercover Magazine
Man of the moment, "Christian J", takes "Dobbs" quality original and
turns in a most wonderful uplifting
tune which I'm sure all the big prog jocks will be canning, 'i know we
certainly will be'!
Spacey tripped-out effects, cool crisp drums, and dreamy long drawn out
breakdowns make for a quality hands in the air moment for yet another
well crafted rmx by Christian J .
5/5
