Babe Roots | Mi Feel It 10"I was excited as soon as I saw this link up between Italy's Babe Roots and Japan's New Dub Hall label then I listened to the clips and got a whole lot more excited! A sider "Mi Feel It" featuring dub poet Wayne (who Babe Roots have worked with previously on their "Through We" 12" released on System Music) really is something very special indeed. Sitting somewhere between dub techno, dub poetry and golden era 90's trip hop (think Blue Lines era Massive

) and captures the magic that lies between the post-punk experimentalism of On-U Sound and the dub-funk of the Upsetters

Irresistible joyous uptempo reggae music at its very best from Carlton And The Shoes originally dating back to 1980

Bit of a mad one this

This time Skari takes control of the A-side with a dextrous vocal cut and then the mighty Manasseh delvers a deep and deadly dub in the flip

Kind of amazed this one still remains under most people's radars as it's a bit of a banger
