Kevin Richard Martin (The Bug) and Michael Fiedler (Ghost Dubs) are set to release a full-length split album titled Implosion on November 21 via Pressure Records. This album, which follows the Imploded Versions EP, features each artist contributing eight tracks that showcase their unique takes on dub. The Bug leans into a minimal and reductive aesthetic, while Ghost Dubs offers a heavier, analog sound, both moving away from traditional warm dub roots to explore themes of dread and isolation in contemporary society.
Given their distinct musical styles and the thematic depth of Implosion, how do you think their collaborative effort may influence the future direction of the dub genre and its cultural relevance in today’s music landscape?
