Korea in Dub & more: Playlist for August 27, 2010

This week's dub news (courtesy of Steve Barker's dub column in the September 2010 ish of Wire mag) introduces us to I & I Djangdan from Seoul. Thanks to the wonders of MySpace and YouTube, I've now heard an album's worth of I & I Djangdan and I can say: they rock!

And, have you noticed that dub music has taken over the world? And the world has taken over dub music?

Kharag Penpa, who sings on the song Rangzen, is a Tibetan musician. Rangzen is Tibetan for freedom/independence, and the song includes a chant of "Free Tibet."
