DIGITAL PRIMATE - Keep Calm and Carry On
Digital Primate has gone back to the dubs created by MAD PROFESSOR during their Ariwa sessions of '05 and come up with a whole new body of work.
Mixed and dubbed by Mad Professor, these tracks have their foundations in Digital Primate's previous album "SIEGE MENTALITY" (also mixed at Ariwa Studios in London by Mad Professor and Joe Ariwa) but comprise a brand new body of work that stands up in it's own right.
Mad Professor, famous for his work with all the reggae and roots legends of the last 30 years and his remixes for Massive Attack and many others, has really made his mark on this new work by Digital Primate, by mixing these dubs through his hand-built SSL desk and delivering his trademark sound, Mad Professor has imbued this album with a timeless quality and a dubwise sensibility that is immediate and classic.
Digital Primate has then taken the dubs and added his final touch with some extra sounds and rythms.
The result is powerful and magnificent.
With cover art created by the original graf rebel in Melbourne MARCSTA (Marc De Jong), Digital Primate's new album "Keep Calm and Carry On" is a fully rounded and mature work that will stand the test of time.
