Laid-Back Sway & Headbanging vol.4

DUB MIRAI's fourth album, Laid-Back Sway & Headbanging vol.4, is out now via OVNCVN LEVELS.

The fourth installment in the Laid-Back Sway & Headbanging series further expands DUB MIRAI's signature genre, "Arahan" (Around Hundred) -a unique sonic philosophy centered around tempos of approximately 100 BPM.

Building upon the organic minimalism established throughout the series, where live vocals, melodica, balafon, and gamelan seamlessly intertwine with electronic textures, vol.4 pushes even deeper into dub-infused spatiality and sound system culture. Heavy low-end grooves, hypnotic rhythmic cycles, and delicately shifting echoes unfold across its unhurried tempo, creating a space where relaxed swaying gradually transforms into total immersion.

Rather than relying on dramatic drops or explosive climaxes, the album builds intensity through subtle evolution. Each repeated phrase introduces microscopic changes, drawing listeners into a trance-like state where movement becomes instinctive - bodies sway, heads nod, and time seems to dissolve.

Existing somewhere between club music, dub, minimalism, ambient music, and traditional musical forms, Laid-Back Sway & Headbanging vol.4 resists easy categorization. Instead, it presents the latest evolution of Arahan Rave - a style where restraint becomes power, and deep groove speaks louder than excess.

As the seventh release in the OVNCVN LEVELS catalog, this album marks both a new milestone for the series and a bold step toward the future of DUB MIRAI's singular sonic universe.
