Producer Dub Sonata‘s acclaimed instrumental project Nights In Cuba is now available on vinyl for the first time, complete with a new 6-song EP titled Nights In Cuba Revisited included on Side D of the 2xLP release from Man Bites Dog Records. Made in the same fashion as the original 19-track album, Nights In Cuba Revisited is derived from samples sourced from a crate of records the producer dug up during a 2010 trip to Cuba. Fast forward to 2022, Dub revisited the Caribbean island nation with camera in hand, where he reconnected with the musicians and vinyl dealers he met previously.
Check out the album trailer below, consisting of footage from his return trip to Cuba paired with music from the album. The genre-bending project — layered with upright bass, trumpet, flute, sax, piano, guitar, various percussion, and scratches by Scram Jones — transports the listener to the streets of Havana. The 2xLP vinyl is limited to 100 units, and the CD Digipak spread includes a colorful 16 page booklet of photos from Cuba taken by the record-collecting producer/photographer. Bandcamp bundles include fine art prints on various media, exclusively available from Man Bites Dog Records. The new Nights In Cuba Revisited releases on Bandcamp 4/21, and hits streaming platforms 5/5.
