The Almighty, Creation, Love, my family, Dubheart, Yabby You, Twinkle Brothers, Burning Spear, Matumbi, Dennis Brown, Aswad, Bob Marley, Culture, Johnny Clarke, King Tubby, Scientist, Mad Proffesor, Augustus Pablo, Jah Shaka, Bush Chemist and so many other roots sounds that make me jump around the room like an irie King David before JAH.
Fullness aka Gavin Sant, as well as playing drums in the band DUBHEART, has been writing and producing music since about 96, after a time of experimenting with dub and various other styles of music Fullness's sound is now firmly grounded in roots and dub reggae. Influences from the reggae glory days of the 70's are obvious, but the music is not purely retrospective, looking to the future with digi sounds, militant steppas and roaring heavywieght basslines. Even though at present all music is created digitally, Fullness trys to emulate and capture as much of an analogue feel as possible using a variety and mixture of FX and sounds, including live playing from horns, drums, percussion and melodica. Recently Fullness has featured playing horns on the new MICHAEL ROSE album Great Expectations produced by bredrin Paul Fox.
Fullness's music has been generally instrumental except for some small voicings from himself, but is now working with a few good vocalists towards some immenent releases and welcomes other vocalist to sing on these and other ridims, and is available for remixing, special dubplates, sessions and collaboration on other roots music productions. One love and blessings. fullness@hotmail.co.uk
Review: "Don Goliath's "Bagstep EP" (DDR030) is one of those innovative EPs showcasing how versatile Dubstep can get. The unique idea of creating Dubstep versions of celctic (Irish as well as Scottish) folk classics for all you drunkards longing to sing along was Don Goliath's motto when producing this madness. The concept is as simple as effective: he picked 4 of your grandpa's favourites such as "Old Skibbereen", "Scotland the Brave", "Drunken Sailor" and "Amazing Grace" having the melody played by a definitly non-sober Bagpipe section and then layering it with lofi mid range wobbleism - we therefor call it Bagstep. Overall production quality is high grade with that intense sub focus so you can blow-dry your hair right in front of the bass bins. Now let's get into the tunes: "Skibbereen Bagstep" is one of the melancolic minor tunes expressing Irish history as it is. It is an unmixable 3/4 waltz beat at unusual 154bpm, well dancebal though when one moves to the triplets. "Bagstep the brave" should be one of the sickest rebuilds of the Scottish national anthem making it Mel Gibson's signature tune if he had one. "Drunken Bagstep" is a Glitchfest version of the sailors anthem capable of getting you uberdrunk by listening alone, Arrrr! "Amazing Bagstep" is as religious as it gets making it a tune that'll certainly safe xamounts of lost souls. Enjoying the dancefloor got even easier now: drink out the bar, make your skirt fly and sing along to these (future) classics! Some will hate this release and some will love it, there barely is anything in between. All Dubstep Division crew salutes the latter as our fellow beerheadz! cheeeeeerz!"
