Banned-X

Banned-X

Banned-X was first played on NTS on 8 October 2014. Songs played include Colour Of Love.

Banned-X stands for a fusion of reggae and dub with different types of electronic music. The project combines the pure, physical energy of digital club and dancefloor sounds with the hypnotic rhythms and the power of vocals from Dub and Reggaemusic. Heavy dub mixing, deep basslines and riddims meet classical song structures, creating moods and vibrations far offside from style-clichées.

Involved are producers Gabriel Le Mar and George DIN and vocalists like Yah Meek, Ras Abraham, Bobo Niyah and Markie J. The mixture of dancehall tunes and digital roots anthems is completed by experimental dub sounds and 2 Step. The result is a colourful culture clash, which fuses influences from Kingston, London and Frankfurt into an unique style. All tracks are mixed inna dub-style, using the mixing board and it`s effects as musical instruments, other major production tools are overdub- and cut up-techniques.

Banned-X act as a freely organized convention of masters. The basic goal of the musicians who come from Jamaica, the U.K, Greece and Germany, is to push musical styles, such as dub, reggae, dancehall und techno towards a fusion of club “tracks” and classical “song-writing”. George Din’s comment: “Vocals and songwriting are not a standard gimmick, but ways to intensifying our tracks both emotionally and meaningwise. We love the physical power of dancefloor-styles. Banned-X is all about combining these styles with a message that goes beyond those well known “move your ass” - orders.“
