dESH.DUBS – Moye

Right in time for his incoming EP, Zambezi star, dESH.DUBS gives fans a preview of his latest Reggae single, ‘Moye’ courtesy of Lazy Dope Records, alongside an official lyric video reflective of its theme. With his previous extended play ‘’Above the Wicked’’ a complete success and barely a year old, ‘Moye’ scores yet another win for the Dutch-based act with a premiere on one of Europe’s biggest Reggae platforms, Reggaeville on October 9.

On the energetic sound, dESH.DUBS confidently flexes his rasping vocal chops as he hits that sweet spot of not being too loud, but hyper enough to get anyone jammin’ non-stop. Like on his previous offerings, dESH.DUBS’ unique toasting style is pervasive on the new release, striking a good balance between relevance and catchiness.

When asked how ‘Moye’ came about, dESH.DUBS shared:

‘’The idea behind ‘Moye’came after a discussion with a friend about women’s liberation in the US; generally how
black women in particular still rise up to the occasion despite decades of abuse and right infringement. I was inspired to make a fun song that speaks on this remarkable ‘strength and resilience’ while supporting and appreciating black women worldwide at the same time’’.

Album Review

R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album

In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.

“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.

Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.

The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

Artist Spotlight

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings

While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.

“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.

The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
