Bank On It

ZamZam 19, Alter Echo & E3’s “Nubian Dub” backed with “Warning Dub” was an underground hit that sold out its run of 600 copies almost instantly, and has been in constant demand ever since.  It is consistently named as many completists’ top ZamZam release.  Championed by selectors as diverse as The Bug, J:Kenzo, Alpha Steppa and Joe Nice, both tunes developed lives of their own, spawning remixes that we are now extremely proud to release as a pair of limited 10”s: Khaliphonic 05 (Nubian Dub Remixes) and 06 (Warning Dub Remixes).

Egoless’ live dubbing of the tunes in his sets early last year morphed into heavyweight remixes of both cuts.  His Nubian version is a funkdafied 140-affair with added clave, cyborg saxophone flavor, retooled low-end and a strangely uplifting mood animated by his unique sense of spatial dynamics and movement.  ZamZam veteran DJ Madd brings the 85 bpm slow-jungle rockers vibrations with his signature 808 depth drops, spacious synths and tuned tablas anchoring the original atmospherics in a completely different and unexpected riddim matrix.

Microphone commando Rider Shafique introduces Ishan Sound’s refix, which began life as a special for Ishan, Alter Echo, and E3, but demanded a wider release.  A militant steppers of the highest order, a haunting melody floats above the pounding kick and galloping percussion while machine-gun percussion and snares cut through the miasmic swirling textures.  Egoless’ Warning remix seemingly pitches the entire original tune up an octave to make room for the monstrous, swollen, lurching bass, kick & claps that has become a swaggering anthem that demands multiple reloads wherever he performs it.  

Raising the visual aesthetic bar once again, in-house design & print master Polygon Press blesses each 10” with a striking, complementary geometric construction, teasing 2 and 3D in and out of each other in a captivatingly original style.  Screen printed by hand on heavy chip board jackets.

Mastered & cut by Lewis at Stardelta, Devon, UK.  Limited to 800 copies each for the world - no repress, no digital.  Shipping mid-January, 2016.

High Kulture - Split Second *Version*

As soon as we heard them we fell in love with these tracks and could not wait to press them on heavyweight vinyl. This Scrub a Dub will not be around for long.

Tracklist:

A. Von D – Analog sound

Von D got excited over his new hardware and has succeeded in reaching the holy grail of dub. With this simple but effective master Von Dizzle shows off even more than his usual finesse.

B. Egoless – Bubble beat

Egoless can do no wrong. After years meditation on the meaning of sound he is here with his latest lesson. Drums. Bass. 

Preorder on 22.09

Egoless - Bubble Beat [Preview]

D-Operation Drop is a 6-man crew from Cesena, Italy with a strong and growing catalog of sound system killers, from orthodox steppers to dubstep abstractions and strange hybrids of the two.   Recent releases on Moonshine, Artikal, and Lion Charge have cemented their position, and we are thrilled to invite them into the ZamZam fold with two chunks of 140 weight.

“Warrior March” opens with a mesmerizing pad that immediately draws the unsuspecting into a unique soundworld and doesn’t let go til the runout groove.   A smeared, chopping-block snare, deep subsonic rumblings, swung percussion, massed yet minimal horns make a darkly coiled track, menacing yet full of funk and movement.  

“Sativa Team” captivates just as deeply with fewer moving parts, loping drums and leaden percussion, churning bassline, chopped and glitched JA-voices and sound tape, and ominous, clipped horns that wobble with tape delay in a strange airless void.  Brooding yet cathartic, tripped out but fully physical, with both tunes D-Operation Drop display their total control over a restrained and powerful palette.

Strictly limited to 700 copies for the world.  No digital, no repress.  Two color blend roll screen print by Polygon Press.  Shipping first week of July alongside ZamZam 55.
