“Remixing local sounds is by far one of the most satisfying challenges. In the case of Oigăn & Ana Ularu’s Meteorologie, me and Marius have created our first duppy riddim, inspired by Adrian Sherwood and The Bug. This song and remix is moody and dedicated to all the people out there dependent on weather changes in the Carpathian mountains and the Black Sea.” Obeah
Bucharest based Indie Record Label Underdog is a Community centered around alternative, chillout, downtempo, dream-pop, trip-hop music genres. Their motto is: "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently..." - Rob Siltanen
Underdog was founded on the belief that independent Romanian artists are stronger under one roof. The musical genres that they like and promote are not locally popularand their idols and ambitions go beyond borders, inspired by labels like Domino Records, Ninja Tune, Future Classic, Warp, Young Turks, XL Recordings or Ghostly International.
The Sound of Art to Come Records is a Transylvanian based record label, home of Dub, Electronic and Experimental music outcasts and exploring mavericks. Deep in the heart of Romania, SoAC transmits from the dimension of The Shape of Dub to Come. They curate, collage and remix Duppy dubs and Duppy riddims inspired by Jamaican horror film soundtracks.
After ten years of making eclectic music, the dub ghost musician from Romania has tuned-in to another frequency creating Lil Obeah from Transylvania. When it comes to his sound, he defines it as duppy dub from a parallel universe. Obeah works with professionals in the music business, from Bucharest-based producer Marius Costache of Studio148 to international stars like Dub Colossus, Transglobal Underground and Dreadsquad. His remix work includes local artists like Tony Baboon, Oigăn & Ana Ularu, international sound clashers like Dubmatix, Dub Pistols, Prince Fatty, Ghetto Priest and Denise Sherwood, but also fictional acts like Reefah Madniss from Berlin.
The artist considers Dub music sound art and aims to create a forever authentic Romanian horror film soundtrack with his songs and remixes.
lyrics
Zău că s-a stins o lumină și se face dimineață
Mergem pe vârfuri la fereastră ne-nfășurăm în ceață
Uite o siluetă grăbită alergând după tramvai (A)
Țăcăne pe tocuri și pe-alocuri se luptă cu ploaia
Dar ploaia câștigă
Ce să fie?
Ce să fie?
Ce să fie?
Cred că îmi e foame.
“Uite-te te rog în frigider, e supă cremă cu crutoane”
Mare tragedie o să fie am stins ultima țigară
Tre’ să ies afară la non-stopu’ de la gară
să mă lupt cu ploaia de vară...
Dar ploaia câștigă
Ploaia câștigă.
