Another Channel -  356 [Clip]

Babe Roots are a relatively young duo from Turin, Italy, making a unique brand of atmospheric, techno-infused dubwise.  On our radar since their splendid debut 7” on Rohs! Records in early 2016, we are very pleased to invite them into the ZamZam fold with two mesmerizing and contrasting tunes.  

“Be Still” is a deeply meditative yet driving dub techno trek in classic fashion, featuring rastaman Kojo Neatness intoning on righteous living, working the land, guarding the tongue, and avoiding Babylonian schemes and traps laid by the wicked.  Maternal bass and shimmering reverbs envelop a heartbeat rhythm of kick, shaker and distant snares for a timeless vibe that shows mastery of the idiom while updating it for contemporary sound systems.  

“Rawness” is an extraordinarily deep 140 journey that opens with rich pads and swirling atmospherics, creating a psychoactive ambience that builds into a steady kick.  The full riddim hits and plunges us even deeper with restrained, syncopated drums and percussion.  Churning bass powers us through the dense, hallucinatory fog as tendrils of electricity probe and zap, and serrated snares cut through the tape haze and studio clouds in the last third.  Carving out a gorgeous edge between deep dubstep and dub techno, “Rawness” hits all the marks and will find a home in a huge range of sets.

Mastered by Sam Precise.  Design & screen print by Polygon Press.  Limited to 600 copies for the world.  No digital, no repress.  Contact zamzamsounds@gmail.com for subscriptions, wholesale, or other info.  Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter to stay in the loop!

Deadbeat graced ZamZam with a release in our very first year of operation.  Lending his name & gravitas to our young effort with Zam 06 meant a lot to us at the time, and is something we never forgot, so we couldn’t be happier to have him back for a second outing.  Canadian by birth, now residing in Berlin, Scott Monteith is known the world over as one of the most adventurous and reliable producers in the areas of techno and dub-inflected electronic music. Extremely tight quality control over multiple full length albums and countless singles on seminal labels including ~scape, Echochord, and his own flawless BLKRTZ have made him a household name in dub techno and beyond. 

Deadbeat’s second ZamZam sets aside obvious techno constraints for a mid-tempo reggae scorcher that sounds like it was beamed straight from the humid & heady glory days of the Black Ark studio.  Anchored by a tar-thick bassline recalling Lee Perry’s “Dub Organizer,” “Wail Ball and Cry” leans hard into its rockstone drum kit,  with whip-sharp turnarounds, clattering Binghi drums, melodica stabs and restrained yet ever-present flange and reverb keeping the atmosphere swampy and sparkling.  A sweet falsetto intones on the loneliness and alienation we all navigate in these times of political debasement and (social) media spectacle.

“Dub Ball and Flange” mutes the vocal for a traditional version focused on nuance rather than over-the-top effects; high hats take the spotlight through expert filter & phaser work, as the heat inches up in the room with a stew of bubbling reverb & delicate echo trails adding to the already simmering & shimmering vibe.

The limited edition vinyl records are now sold out! 

This is now to be followed with the digital streaming options on Spotify and beyond as of the release date.

1. Moonlight (Featuring Tailored Sound)

Moonlight cuts deep, this unique piece of dubbed out techno gets your body moving in-line with the groove and shuffle, whilst also sending you into a meditational head nod-state. Ever on going and encapsulating towards the space of the cosmos and the planets that inhabit it. As we travel deeper into the unknown our reality becomes our existence, sit back and relax to the sounds of Akcept & Tailored Sound blessing the musical underground with this beautiful *VERY LIMTED* slice of greatness. 

10'' Vinyl Record - Limited Cuts manufactured in Bristol at Green King Studios.

2. Transmission (Featuring Another Channel)

None of these tracks are an 'A or a B' side in our opinion, both bringing pure premium vibrations. Transmission comes as a dusty, nosey offering of dubbed out starship techno. Insanely crafted hits and stabs come alined with a rolling baseline and peaceful chords, extenuating the fact we come with peace with TMC005.

Delivering quality every-time and this time we wanted to give him an extra special shout out for his excellence!
