Ultraääni / Finland / 2025
On Trombi, Finnish producer Lightman (Lauri Peltonen) delivers ten tracks of pure instrumental dub bliss. This is a one-man operation in the truest sense: every note was written, arranged, played, and recorded by Lightman himself. The result is a warm, tape-saturated sound where melodic lines and haunting organ chords float over rock-solid, classic roots rhythms.
Released on the cult Finnish label Ultraääni, this album is a testament to DIY craftsmanship. Staying true to its analog soul, Trombi is a vinyl-only release with no digital version available, making it an essential piece for dub heads and collectors alike.
