After their much heralded debut on the label with last year’s Music Mission EP, Italian collective Babe Roots returns to V.I.V.E.K’s System Music with a brand new four track project entitled Through We EP.

The Torino-based producers have risen to prominence over the last half decade having crafted an authentic, sub-heavy dubwise sound which has been cut and pressed on labels such as ZamZam Sounds, Echocord & more.

This new project is unquestionably an extension on that sound and is delivered with exceptional execution. We open with title track Through We, an utterly immersive Dub Techno slice which glides and steps with maximum finesse, layered perfectly with the powerful vocals of Joseph Lalibela.

Next up comes System which picks up the tempo and features Bristol-based mic-man Rider Shafique whose profound voice and lyricisation rides the powerful stepping riddim which bounces out of the speakers in full force.

Flip the record and find It A Come, fully equipped with earth-shattering low-end, resonating reverberations and the deeply haunting vocals of Wayne & Galas, which is then finished perfectly with a profoundly stripped back ambient rework of the same track.

SYSTM038 - BABE ROOTS - THROUGH WE EP

Mali

It's been a long time coming, and for our final release of the year we have @Maessounds and @masis0114 collaborating on a single record.

A. Maes & Masis - What Do We Dub
Pairing up for a collaborative A-side track, we have a smooth, bassline-forward minimal piece, indicative of the two artist's respective styles. This one with echoing voices swirling around a deep stomping melody way down in the bassline and a flute reprise towards the end, rounding off of the track beautifully.

B. Maes - Treadin'
Another heavy track, hyped up by the man himself on his Soundcloud using a clip with only question marks for a name, Maes finally returns to Soil and Sound for another outstanding contribution after his debut two years ago. Coming through with a heavy-hitting 120bpm bassline, earth-shattering snares and vocals that reverberate all the way into the very deepest depths of your conscience. Can you tell we're very glad to have him back?

All records will be hand-cut by the dub-cutting master Henry Bainbridge at @Dubstudio onto 10" transparent plates. 
(yes they'll be sleeved in those pretty hand-stamped sleeves we put on our Instagram a couple days ago)

Preorders will open on our Bandcamp on 17/12/21 @ 3PM GMT 
50 copies will be available to preorder.

Expect shipping within 7-8 weeks of order.

Dub meets Techno

Frenk Dublin - Spacialized

1 - No Remorse & Korin Complex - Marching

Few names shine as brightly in the cosmology of dubwise bass music as that of V.I.V.E.K. From releasing absolutely groundbreaking tracks for the better part of 20 years primarily on his own System and VIVEK imprints, to curating and hosting his legendary System nights, to bringing so much rising talent to light, it’s honestly difficult to imagine the last two decades of UK and global sound system music without him. 

For ZamZam 96 V.I.V.E.K went straight to the bedrock of sound system music and delivered a power-stepper of galactic proportions. 

“Illusions Dub” opens with starkly heavy valve bass and a punishing kick, leaving little doubt where this journey is headed . Richly adorned with neck-snapping percussion, industrial snares, post-punk atmospherics and a gorgeous melodic figure, the tune employs classic 90s digi-dub principles while feeling like a message from a gloriously human -or post-human- future. 

“Illusions (Raw Dub)” runs rugged through the desk in fine style, with barely restrained feedback, phasers, and deep space echo and reverb ripping open shimmering holes in space-time for a truly cosmic Part 2. 

Strictly limited to 850 7” vinyl copies for the world- no digital, no repress. Mastered by Precise. Two color screen print by Polygon Press. Releasing August 30th, 2024. Retail or wholesale inquiries: zamzamsounds@gmail.com

Sundae Mourning

Our first release of 2021 showcases the dub skills of Rotterdam-based @dub-communication label boss, @Frenk-Dublin. Bringing luxurious dub and dubtechno flavours to the table, this release is a remarkable demonstration of the versatility of Frenk Dublin's production.

A - Into the Wetlands
Frenk Dublin provides a stomping 130BPM dubstep-infused track to open up his release. Fulfilling every dub lover's desire with heavy splashes of reverb and endless echoes, the thick layers of an organ's harmony and swirling melodies add an authentic nod in the direction of the ancestor-genre of reggae.

B - Aoukili
With an obvious dubtechno base for it's composition, 'Aoukili' manages to expertly fuse the aesthetics and sonic palette of dubtechno with the groove of genres such as techno and house, without sacrificing the darkness and sonic depth at the heart of dubtechno.

All records will be hand-cut by the dubplate-cutting master Henry Bainbridge at @Dubstudio onto 10" transparent plates!

Preorders will open on our Bandcamp on 05/03/21 @ 3PM GMT
50 copies will be available to preorder.

Expect shipping within 5-6 weeks of order.
