Jahtarian Dubbers Vol. 5

Jahtari label compilation full of all‑new outsider dubs, dancehall bangers, and cosmic low‑end grooves, marking twenty years of “Reggae oddness” from Leipzig. Vol. 5 is the first addition to the Jahtarian Dubbers series in over a decade. It begins with “The Loop Jerk” by DJ‑activist Dave Watts, followed by Kiki Hitomi’s raw but sweet Japanese lo‑fi reggae on “Red Mustang”, then Kris Kemist’s meditative synth and drum‑machine jam “Casio HipHop”. El Fata brings positive energy with his synthie dancehall scorcher “Boom Sound”, while Jura Soundsystem’s “On My Way (Dub)” shifts into hypnotic Sly & Robbie‑style dub. Side B opens with Pupajim’s prophetic “Tidal Wave (Raggattack Disco Dub)”, then Noda & Wolfers deliver tape‑warped mysticism on “Cabal of Puppeteers”, followed by Speng Bond chanting over deep echoes in “Wha Mek”. Namahage (with DJ Scotch Egg, disrupt & Pablo Volt) spins a mind‑bending synth‑roots‑to‑free‑jazz journey on “Voidout Dub”, closing with the ambient haze of Tiiu Helinä’s “Muuri Dub” featuring Tapes on keys. All tracks lovingly mixed by Jahtari founder disrupt, with iconic artwork by Disko 69 (Doppeldenk).
