“Cover Me was the highlight, the peak of the session at the Secret Laboratory. Both, me and Lee Scratch Perry, were very happy after we recorded it and we wanted to listen to it again and again. And now in 2021, Schlachthofbronx took it to another level, to the heavy bass and big beats clubs.”

Dubokaj

Cover Me was Alpine dub in its finest moment. The tune originally a Trimoto Calim version, from the Alpine Dub LP Dubokaj released in 2016 has found new meaning and direction with Lee “Scratch” Perry’s magic added. Lee Perry invokes street symbols, blue covers, red wine stealers, killers with firing guns, and the situation of ongoing wars in the world very like in his classics such as Police and Thieves and Zion’s Blood.

Schlachthofbronx, the DJ/producer duo from Munich, Germany, is already well on the sonic map for their forward-thinking club music ranging from hip hop, reggae to more electronic spheres like footwork, grime, dancehall and Miami bass have given Cover Me the Bronx treatment.

Their remix takes the Cover Me song in a heavy digital club steppers direction very much in the vein of the 2017 album Haul & Pull that features some amazing collaborators: Gonjasufi, Warrior Queen, Riko Dan and Otto von Shirach.
Lee Scratch Perry’s collaged vocals and cut up synths ride the fantastic mechanic beat laid down by the Munich masters at work.

Swiss-based Mouthwatering Records in a partnership with Transylvanian-based label The Sound of Art to Come proudly present Dubokaj & Lee Scratch Perry’s first remix off the Daydreamflix album – Cover Me by Schlachthofbronx.

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 aka 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. He also scored films such as Das Fräulein, Slumming, On The Line, Der Kameramörder.

Dubokaj has a background of some very healthy musical inspirations, both classic, like Lee Scratch Perry’s Revolution Dub and Return Of The Super Ape, King Tubby Meets The Upsetter At The Grassroots of Dub, Augustus Pablo and Scientist Meets The Space Invaders to modern mutations of dub such as Rhythm & Sound, Burial, Disrupt and the more abstract contemporary artists and labels like Seekersinternational, Equiknoxx, and Bokeh Versions. In 2016, he started experimenting with his own environmental sound that he called Alpine Dub.

Dub as an art form and as science is also philosophy, and Dubokaj extracts the process without mimicking the Roots form. He cuts and pastes, plays around with oscillating tempos, sometimes in a single tune – juxtaposes natural environments with in-studio sounds.
