Dry & Heavy

Reggae/dub can forever be connected with Jamaica, however the introduction of Japan’s six-piece Dry out & Large in the past due ’90s offers proven forever that liberating musical type is truly common. The group is really a side task of reggae experimentalists Sound Active, plus they consider their moniker from your nicknames of the drummer Shigemoto Nanao (aka Dry out) and bassist Takeshi Akimoto (aka Large). Even though band created in 1991, it wasn’t until 1997 that their self-titled debut noticed the light of day time. Further produces included 1999’s One Punch and 2000’s Total Contact, while 2001 noticed a compilation of D&H remixes by reggae veteran Ruler Jammy, entitled Ruler Jammy Meets Dry out & Heavy within the Jaws from the Tiger.
