Khruangbin release Hasta El Cielo – a dub version of Con Todo El Mundo

Hasta El Cielo is available now on limited-edition yellow wax with a bonus 7" single with two additional Scientist dub mixes.

Globetrotting Texan trio Khruangbin have just released Hasta El Cielo, the band’s dub version of their acclaimed second album Con Todo El Mundo via Dead Oceans/Night Time Stories. The full album has been processed anew along with two bonus dubs by renowned Jamaican producer Scientist. Check out the lead single, “Mary Always,” below. Get a copy of Hasta El Cielo right here.



The band’s exotic, spacious, psychedelic funk aligns with the dub treatment particularly well. Indeed, keen fans won’t find this a surprising release. Dubs of tracks from their first album The Universe Smiles Upon You appeared on limited vinyl releases of “People Everywhere” for Record Store Day 2016 and “Zionsville” on the BoogieFuturo remix 12”.

“For us, Dub has always felt like a prayer. Spacious, meditative, able to transport the listener to another realm. The first dub albums we listened to were records mixed by Scientist featuring the music of the Roots Radics. Laura Lee learned to play bass by listening to Scientist Wins the World Cup. His unique mixing style, with the emphasis on space and texture, creates the feeling of frozen time; it was hugely influential to us as a band. To be able to work alongside Scientist, a legend in the history of dub, is an honor. This is our dub version of Con Todo El Mundo.” — Khruangbin
