about

With our second release, Chicago Massive, we undertook our biggest endeavor to date. Chicago Massive is a 2 disc album boasting 27 tracks and 24 friends sharing the mic in a variety of styles. Guest musicians on the first disc include Charles Gorczynski (Silences Sumire, Leaves, Colorlist), Mike “Spider” Hobson (Deals Gone Bad), and trumpeter Rich Graiko (Void Union, Westbound Train). Guest vocalists include Drastic mainstays Fada Dougou and MC Zulu as well as friends King Django, Dr. Ring Ding, Dayna Lynn, Todd Hembrook (Deals Gone Bad), and Corey Dixon (The Zvooks).

Selected cuts off this record were also treated to remix album appropriately titled “The Drastics Remixes” by electro-acoustic duo Silences Sumire (Rope-a-dope).

” … niceness from a Midwestern band who play dub-rich music … I’d endorse this double album most heartily. 4/5 Stars.
Tom Orr, Reggae-Reviews.Com

“Following their widely praised 2005 debut, “dub masters” The Drastics don’t mess with success on Chicago Massive.”
Illinois Entertainer

“So creative are the riddims, so intriguing the dubs … The Drastics deserve much credit for moving deep into unchartered territories …”
