KAPTAN combines rootical styles w/ modern and electronic techniques; dubbing it in a original style. Holding down the vibe with ultra heavy basslines, these dubs are ready to get unleashed from the vaults. „Kaptan takes a very relaxed approach to his productions and combines both Jamaican and British influences. However, instead of jumping into fast stepper dub variations, which are currently popular, he takes a leisurely approach, which gives the individual elements in the mix more audible breathing space." Irieites, January 2023 „So it's explicitly not about heavy steppers, but about slower productions in which the bass spreads out like a swelling yeast dough. All the pores and cavities of the dubs are penetrated by the bass dough. Drums and offbeat waft around in it, like sultanas. Simply delicious! Although the title suggests otherwise, the „Dubs From the Vault" are current productions and by no means material once lost in the archive." Riddim Magazine Nr. 112 02/23 „»Dubs From The Vault« shows all the love of Kaptan's Dub, a powerful Dub where the bass will make your walkman headphones quiver, a resolutely modern Dub, but a Roots Dub, an original Dub, which will undoubtedly give you great sensations…" Culture Dub, February 2023
