| B1 | Dubkasm | Eco Do Jongo feat. Ras B remix Om Unit Remix |
This is the first in a series of remixes of tracks from Dubkasm s acclaimed 2018 LP, Rastrumentals. The 10 opens with Alter Echo and Zam Zam/Khaliphonic label head E3, who have an impressive list of previous collaborators including Lee Perry, Pinch and The Bug. The Portland, Oregon duo have taken the driving roots energy of Lei urea and used pounding drums, flurries of aggressive foley and veering synth attacks to flip it into an apocalyptic dancehall banger. Side B comes courtesy of recent Bristol arrival Om Unit, a truly unique producer and DJ, headlining shows around the world, and collaborating with artists as diverse as Goldie, Joker, and Machinedrum. Always impossible to classify, his remix of LP opener Eco do Jongo , , dives deep into dub territory, its ethereal, stripped-back nyabinghi drumming, crystallised synths, and a slipstream of horns bringing Ras B s righteous message to the fore This release has been expertly mastered via 1/2 tape by Lewis at StarDelta, and is backed and distributed by Unearthed.
