“…Hieronymus is turning out to be one of the key modern dub interpreters, with enough knowledge about historic styles while still moving relentlessly forward.” – Steve Barker WIRE #369, NOV 2014
ZamZam24 is our third release featuring Copenhagen’s brilliant Hieronymus, and his first on a solo expedition. Deep 80-90 bpm nod-factor dubwise is the mission, and Hieronymus powers up the jeep for a journey through ancient plateaus and dry Martian river valleys that you won’t want to end.
Hieronymus’ solo works inhabit their own sonic realm and play by their own rules. As home with rub-a-dub and 80s digital as he is with roots dub and dub techno, Hieronymus brings his strong personal aesthetic to each and every track, never losing himself or his vision in this arcade of musical touchstones.
Haunting melodies, crushing rhythms, intense frequency control & spacial awareness, and a deep preoccupation with nearly-tactile textures characterize his utterly unique take on classic dub principles. Analog processes layer hiss and grit over and through spectral sonics that sound like they came straight from another dimension. Timeless, original music from a modern master.
