Babe Roots - (2020) I Come From Gateshead 7''

 

FourFourSelect Recordings ‎– FFSE002

Last summer, FourFourSelect launched with a toasty and soulful number by Earl Gateshead, produced by British dub scene veteran Nick Manasseh. Now that track has been completely re-made and overhauled by dub and dub techno producer Babe Roots. Slower, hazier, more spacious and closer in tone to ambient dub, Babe Roots A-side mix features re-recorded vocals from Gateshead in a slower, spoken style. It's rather fine all told, along with the producer's flipside "Version" - a kind of heavy ambient dub revision with even weightier bass, delay effects aplenty and some dreamy backing vocals that seemingly drift across the soundspace.
