“Love that Old School, Lo-fi vibe!” - Don Letts
Cassette Spotlight
May 9, 2024
We were sent these images of our "Dub Me Like That" album posted in the r/casetteculture page on Reddit yesterday.
We noticed that the original poster was duplication.ca (Analogue Media Technologies Inc.) - the fine people in Canada who made our tapes!
It's nice that Ten months post release we not only got an unexpected mention, but a nice little review as well.
" Kansas City's Rougher All Stars present a spacey journey, full of reverb and perfectly adjusted delay, giving their dub rhythms a feeling of eternal existence. They reverberate from generation to generation, messages from the past and future "
We never really thought about anyone at the factory keeping or listening to a copy, but we're glad they liked it. (Thanks for sharing our Bandcamp page too!)
Also, we had great workings with them on our project - Highly recommend!
We're working on something new for release later this year. More on that soon...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rougher All Stars, the veteran reggae and dub duo, is pleased to announce the highly anticipated release of their latest album "Dub Me Like That" for Rougher Records. Release date June 30, 2023.
Produced, written and arranged by Todd "Bebop" Burd and Emily "Goldilocks" Madison, "Dub Me Like That" comprises eight meticulously crafted tracks of dub and instrumentals that reflects the intent of the genre's pioneers. With an unwavering respect for the legacy the music, this album embodies the spirit of the titans of classic reggae, from the 21st century.
Burd and Madison's dedication to authenticity shines through in every aspect of the album. From the pulsating bass lines to the intricate horn arrangements each track, played by real musicians in real time, resonates with the true essence of reggae's timeless sound.
"We set out to create an album that honors the golden era of dub music, but with our own take", explained Burd. "While staying true to the roots, the subtle jazz undertones add a unique flavor to the sound, resulting in a captivating experience".
"We wanted to create an album that would stand the test of time", said Madison. "We hope that people will be listening to these tracks for years to come".
"Dub Me Like That" will be available on all major streaming platforms June 30, 2023, with physical cassette tapes available on their website. Vinyl release in October.
