Dub Temple #97: Pablo Raster at ZetPeTe

For many years in the foreground of Italian dub music as the musician, singer and the producer, he achieved his own style that the world starts to notice. Pablo Raster's sound system music is based not only on post-Jamaican heavy basslines, but also on the experience with soundtracks and other kinds of music production he was involved in.
Coming from small ancient Spoleto, he was the founder of the local RasteR band, with whom he produced 7 albums and performed almost 1000 concerts in Italy and abroad. He worked closely with the legendary Italian dub master Madaski (Africa Unite, Dub Sync), collaborated with Zion Train, Vlastur, Dziga, Ricc Frost, Kg Man and Kasia Malenda.
Pablo Raster produced 2 albums for DMA and 1 for Dub Fighters. He is also responsible for dozens of remixes and dubs for Italian and international artists. He played as dubmaster for Marcello Coleman.
"Art of Dub" (2015) was his first solo album as a producer. It contains pure dub music and features Dan I (Imperial Sound Army), Barry Isaacs, MrDill Lion Warriah, Sandro Paradisi, Natty Sly, Valentina Benaglia and Violinbwoy. "Forever Dub" was released a year later on Elastica Records with guests like Fikir Amlak, Marcello Coleman, AntZoni Rubio, Zaira Zen, Sandro Paradisi, Luigi Leoni, Alessandro Musco. "Jump up" with Barry Issac and Sandro Paradisi was Pablo Raster’s exciting proposal for dub dancefloors and was released on 7” by Lion's Way Records. Another two singles, "Danger", featuring young Spanish female singer Zaira Zen and the accordionist Sandro Paradisi and "Jah Kingdom", featuring Ras Tinny, were published as free download by the famous French netlabel ODGprod.
His live dub set is a mix of his own electronic productions spiced with delay, reverb, phaser, sirens and filters that make the show unique and unrepeatable every time. When you see Pablo jumping and editing tracks, you will not resist to move your feet. He often performs with guest singers who just add to the solid foundation built by this experienced Italian artist, active on stage already for 16 years.
