about

Swiss-based Mouthwatering Records in a partnership with Transylvanian-based The Sound of Art to Come platform and label proudly present Dubokaj and Lee Scratch Perry - Mountainwater.

The echoes of the Swiss mountains are translated by electronic surgeon Dubokaj in a soundclash session with the late Jamaican legend the Mighty Upsetter. Daniel Jakob aka Dubokaj and Dejot, half of Filewile is an artist and producer collaborating with dub and hip-hop artists from all over the world: Fortune Shumba, Mike Ladd, Pressure Drop, and Dawn Penn. Over the years, he has been steadily putting out extremely personal sounds, remixes, and visions on his own Mouthwatering Records.

Mountainwater, the debut single, begins with an L$P shoutout to the record label Dubokaj co-founded and where he released his previous albums, Mouthwatering Records misspelling it Mountainwater Records, which is great poetry, to begin with! The field recordings capture the sound of the secret Swiss Mountains Laboratory door slamming. The concept of the album is one of the disruptive attention span of the journey from the virtual realm into reality and then back again.

The synth riffs on the Mountainwater single almost act like doorways: they soundtrack the way we turn our computers and laptops on and off, but the main feeling is that we are actually commuting between nature, the Swiss mountains, and indoor space. Maybe we are in front of a screen watching something on Daydreamflix, your favorite Dubokaj & Lee $cratch Perry surrealist broadcasting channel. This could be the last episode of Black Mirror.
