Biografía
- One of the leading lights of experimental dub electronics and core member of the Bokeh Versions squad, Dimitris Papadatos (b.1981,USA) aka Jay Glass Dubs, is a composer, musician and sound artist based in Athens Greece.The main concern in his work is an apposition of disparate elements that assume a re-appropriation of historically applied methodologies while questioning forms of empowering them. The biggest body of his work reflects issues as copyright, spirituality and originality, undergoing a constant state of transfiguration of its outsourcing. His project, Jay Glass Dubs, is an exercise of style focusing on a counter-factual historical approach of dub music, stripped down to its basic drum/bass/vox/effects form.
