Shatter The Hotel: A Dub Inspired Tribute To Joe Strummer by Strummerville published on 2009-12-10T15:40:54Z This is a project that brings together Canadian artists and producers with contributors, friends and collaborators from England, Scotland and the USA. The contributing artists have selected songs from the Strummer/Jones catalogue and then reinterpreted these works in a booming dub-inspired style. The tracks run from straight-up roots dub to contemporary reggae sounds to dubbed out punk and dub-house styles. Shatter The Hotel: A Dub Inspired Tribute To Joe Strummer hopes to further explore what Joe Strummer once described as a ‘rasta-punk interface’. Artists involved in the project include: Dubmatix, Don Letts, Creation Rockers, John Brown’s Body and Strummer’s friend and biographer Chris Salewicz. Proceeds from the sale of this release will benefit Strummerville: The Joe Strummer Foundation For New Music, a registered charity that aims to create new opportunities for aspiring musicians. Set up by the friends and family of Joe Strummer in the year after his death, the charity seeks to reflect Joe's unique contribution to the music world by offering support, resources and performance opportunities to artists who would not normally have access to them.
