{"product_id":"dum-dum-project-the-export-quality-0738572550127","title":"Export Quality","description":"The Dum Dum project behind \u003ci\u003eExport Quality\u003c\/i\u003e are producer and decks-pert Sean (DJ Cavo) Dinsmore, guitarist\/sitar player\/keyboardist and bassist Jason Goodrow, and percussionist\/engineer Phil Painson, a trio of New Yorkers committed to mixing dope beats with Indian vibes. \u003ci\u003eExport Quality\u003c\/i\u003e is the band's second album with Dinsmore, a previous member of bands such as Ska crew The Toasters, reggae hip-hop heads Unity 2 and rock band Supercuz, remaining the principal powerhouse. On wax, DDP come up with a sound that is slightly different to many so-called UK Asian Underground artists. It's less song-based and sinuous than Nitin Sawhney for example, less epic and drum-\u0026amp;-bass-motivated than Talvin Singh and slightly less breaks-based than London indie label Swaraj. Dinsmore's tuff beats and chemical basslines carry a fairly tough downtempo\/hip-hop feel and their torpor pulls constantly against the dense amalgams of Sitar, percussion, keys, tablas and vocals. There's a guitar-heavy rock drive apparent within the sound too which adds to a general aura of \"heaviness\" in places and anchors any rich Bollywood strings or sprightly Eastern motifs that might occur. It's ultimately a quite engaging sound that stands up well to close scrutiny but at times you find yourself wishing for a bit more levity and space. --\u003ci\u003ePaul Sullivan\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"X-Squared (Edel)","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53268695843158,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_0738572550127_1_cfc862ee-aa7e-42ab-9002-f76f3438b33e.jpg?v=1781220526","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/dum-dum-project-the-export-quality-0738572550127","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
