Like Ryan Moore's Twilight Circus Dub Sound System and Oswald von Moritz's Rhythm and Sound project, the Austrian quartet Sofa Surfers relish and emulate the mystical lo-fi glamour of classic dub.īut unlike Moore and von Moritz, Sofa Surfers are not mere copyists. Very few present-day digi-dubbers resist the temptation to defuzz and cleanse their rootical offerings. Thus, Tubby relied on the beloved primitive sound effects of accidental tape-hiss and drop-outs as much he relied on the echo chamber.

King Tubby and Lee 'Scratch' Perry were pioneers because they overcame the gulf between their imaginations and the thrift-store sound equipment they had access to. As the exemplary reissue label Blood and Fire demonstrates with their every release, dub is all about the clash of human creativity and technological ineptitude. In the laptop world, it's a tough gig to make convincing dub music. Une ‚toileune ‚toileune ‚toileune ‚toile (l‚gende) Sofa Surfers : Transit - 1997 - Klein Records Cargo and Constructions: Remixed and Dubbed followed three years later. The group's debut single, 'Sofa Rockers,' earned a remix from fellow Austrian head Richard Dorfmeister, and their debut album, Transit, earned wide release through MCA. The trip-hop act Sofa Surfers was founded by a quartet of sound-obsessed Viennese instrumentalists: Wolfgang Schl”gl, Markus Kienzl, Wolfgang Frisch, and Michael Holzgruber.
