    Artist/record company description from SoundCloud:

    Dub Escape Plan, seventh auto-produce album by Pablo Géléoc is a project always influenced by the French Dub of the 90s and the English stepper, identifiable by a continuous beat, a repetitive bass, percussive skanks and intuitive effects.

    Album that can be seen as a space opera-like conceptual achievement, Dub Escape Plan is a journey that has its roots in science fiction cinema and literature. The orchestration is epic with the use of stringed instruments, traditional and ethnic sounds, the rhythms and arrangements are when they are purely dub. The dycotomy between tradition and modernity has always been the driving force of the Jean-Paul Dub project, this new album is a new example.

    For this trip, Pablo is accompanied by some high-quality road friends: the inevitable Soom T comes to broadcast his good vibrations and his poetic texts and claims on the stepper version of "No more War" whose reggae version was Exit in 2017. In this trip and seen from above, we should not forget the fate of our good old blue planet inhabited by a humanity too often violent. The melodic flights and skanks of the Mintao saxophone invite each other on two pieces and perfectly complement the spatial and epic intentions initiated by Pablo. We could also mention the remixes of Panda Dub and the Ghana Sound System which contribute to give a lunar and narrative unity to the album while formulating another vision of the moose tracks.

    Dub Escape Plan will be released as a free download on Bandcamp on October 22, 2018, it includes 9 titles and 2 animated clip videos: No more War fully drawn and Dub Escape Plan which is more of video-sampling, a form of tribute to the movie 2001, the Odyssey of Space which celebrates the 50th anniversary of the release in 2018. These clips and the cover of the album were made by Pablo, also graphic designer and video-jockey specializing in video mapping. Despite a certain aesthetic unity, each piece has its identity, here are the main lines.
