Strategy brings us two slamming deep-dub-
house-punk-disco-Fourth-World jams. Jon Hassel
meets King Tubby meets DFA uptown in Chicago
circa 1987..with that feisty "Cascadian Magic."
Experimental dance/dub music for those who like
it messy. "World House" is a whirlwind of tabla,
guitar, bass, and house claps with an electric piano
lead, whereas "I Have To Do This Thing" is nearly
a Detroit House tribute- complete with sentimental
pads, a heavy vibe, a solidly lower tempo, an
ominous bassline, all mixed with experimental
generative percussion patches. These are summer
jams for hard times.

Strategy, aka Paul Dickow, is a Portland, Oregon
based producer and musician who has recorded
a wide range of styles for labels such as kranky,
ORAC, audraglint, Audio Dregs, and more. He is
co-founder of the Community Library and Archi-
gramophone labels and can frequently be found
DJing in some of Portland's best clubs and promo
-ting Cascadian regional autonomy.
