As journalists scramble to establish a definitive term for the music which mixes Reggae, Electro, Grime, etc.. Kush Arora's new album takes a bold step forward... by looking back.

Borrowing a phrase from the Junglist / D&B massive, 'Dread Bass Chronicles' showcases Kush's most futuristic production to date, positioning him as one of the leading Indo-Dub-Dance experimentalists.

The Dread Bass Chronicles also features the vocal stylings of Warrior Queen, Juakali, Bongo Chili, N4Sa, Wiseproof and myself. It is getting love from around the globe, even being placed on i-Tunes' front page in the US and Japan its first week out.

Considering the occasional Bhangra 5/5 timing and the ethereal "tumbi", (one-stringed instrument) that laces his production, it is obvious that Kush Arora does not seek to be fully separated from his Indian roots. Still, rather than deliver the typical production, he stands as a progressive voice, pushing the limits of the genre.
