FatCat trio, Traams, have invited two modern day dub explorers, Elijah
Minnelli and Jay Glass Dubs, to tackle a selection of tracks from their stellar 2022 long-
player, Personal Best.

Athens-based Dimitris Papadatos, aka Jay Glass Dubs, first caught folks attention in
2016, with a series of bespoke releases on Bristol’s Bokeh Versions. Demonstrating a
sound that he called Glacial Dancehall, the Greek musician has worked with “beat”
legend Leslie Winer, paid tribute to Spacemen 3, and recently deconstructed `80s soul
/ pop / style icon Sade, for Berceuse Heroique. Last year he launched his own label, the
Boomkat-backed, Extended Techniques.


Renowned for uncompromising, radical work, Jay Glass Dub’s transformation of
Traams might be his most accessible outing to date. The E.P. is as a whole is a warm,
euphoric, sonic wash. Breathe’s tribal tom-tom-ed space rock raga is dropped down to
ambient drones and disembodied voices, before tripped-out drums add a distant,
muffled, funk. Sleeper, originally a lushly layered, uptempo thump, a Sonic Youth-like
duet between Traam’s Stuart Hopkins and Soffie Viemose, of Danish band, Lowly, is
serrated into synthetic shimmer. Now set to a sedated ceremonial march, Dimitris
draws out its delicate 6-strings, which were previously lost in the mix. Hallie, on the
album, was a churning, cathartic rush. Full of noisy arcs, and electric shredding, it was
gravity-destroying, orbit-obliterating stuff. Here, it’s a chunky, chugging, skank, dancing
to muted foot stomps and hand claps. The song itself, shattered into splinters, spinning
whispers, locked in infinite loops. Comedown once boasted a breakneck, head-
banging, rhythm section, and snaking, droning guitar. Driving, like a double-drummed La
Dusseldorf. Grooving, like Can. In Jay Glass Dub’s hands it’s less racing motorik, more
stoned Massive Attack. Cutting a slow-motion rug to a cool contrabass-like line, and
refocused on Liza Violet of Menace Beach’s ethereal guest vocal, only the overall
melody remains.
