Grant Phabao & Djouls - 21st Century Roots (MP3 Podcast) T.I.M.E.C., 2005-10-31 Que se passe-t-il donc de bien roots en début de millénaire pourri par le retour des sons années 80? À Paris, l'été indien n'en finit plus. Alors, pour finir en beauté ce joli mois d'octobre 2005, voici un spécial "reggae, hip hop & dub", en forme de palais de la découverte et du remix. Avec quelques productions parisiennes toutes chaudes et pas encore entendues à la radio, signées de Grant Phabao, Seven Dub, les Mighty Blunts ou Professor Oz. Elles sont accompagnées de quelques récents...

Biggabush - "Biggabush Free"
(Stereo Deluxe 204)

Vous connaissez probablement déjà Biggabush. Glyn Bush (aucun lien), "Bigga" de son surnom, était à la fin des années 90 une moitié du duo Rockers Hi-Fi (avec Dj Dick Whittingham), groupe qui il faut l'avouer s'était enlisé sur trois albums dans des contrées bigbeat/triphopisantes sans véritable intérêt. Vous aviez pu le repérer sur son splendide remix du "Illegal" de Swayzak, fortement dubby, ou sur des remixes de Ennio Morricone, Tapper Zukie, B..?? Toujours pas? Bon si vous écoutez un chouia la radio, vous avez sûrement dû tomber, en 2002, sur "Me & me princess" ("Nanananana nice... Like beans and rice"), cette bonne bombe ragga-breakbeat, remix d'un acapella ragga/soul de 1992 agrémenté de claviers funky irrésistibles. Elle était extraite de son premier album solo depuis la séparation des Rockers Hi-Fi, "Studio Son", sorti sous pseudo Lightning Head, chez Sonar Kollectiv, le label de Jazzanova & friends. Apparemment le bonhomme aime à brouiller les pistes puisqu'après Rockers Hi-Fi et Lightning Head il devient donc Biggabush et pour son nouvel opus "Biggabush Free", il change de label et signe chez Stereo Deluxe, ces gens de goût qui nous ont déjà apporté Mo' Horizons, Boozoo Bajou ou Bobby Hugues Combination... Et même si l'empreinte dub (dans le sens jamaïcain du terme) est bien présente sur tout le disque, Biggabush vogue sans houle à travers une foultitude de styles: acid, breakbeat, house, latino, hip hop, ambient, electro-funk, tout est passé en revue le long d'un disque qui n'est au final ni un album de musique électronique de plus, ni album de dub de plus. Ils sont fort chez Stereo Deluxe.
