Debut release from Iberian Records, a label based in Lisbon and Barcelona with a focus on Dubstep, Grime, Toxic Dancehall, Kuduro, Techno Dub, Dub and similar styles - and the nurturing and promotion of a nucleus of local and international producers. The founders of Iberian Records are behind two projects related to the dubstep movement: Conspira [Portugal] - a Portuguese duo that make up Unidade Sonoro - and Corsario Riddim - two English producers, 23Hz and Numaestro, that are currently residents in Barcelona. This label is effectively the first label in the Iberian Peninsula to release Dubstep tracks. "Al-Andalus" on the a-side starts with a Moriccan vocal sample joined by an accordion riff - curiously sounding not too dissimilar to Augusto Pablo's distinctive melodica sound - which leads to the drop. "PRAISE DUB" on the flip kicks off with a vocal sample from Algerian music, with a rampaging descending bassline soon dominating proceedings!
