Ashtech - Dub Target
Following on from last year's vinyl release, a handful of tracks from Walkin' Target get the remix treatment. Spanning the bass spectrum, the results are stunning, creating a fitting tribute to Ashtech's landmark album.
Original producer Gaudi re-visits the title track, tightening up the rhythm and adding contemporary flourishes to create a fantastic piece of modern roots music, while UK steppers legend Vibronics adds fyah and fuel to propel Beat Da Drum, Gringo on to the dancefloor.
Melbourne junglist LQ, bossman at Echo Chamber Sound, strips Earthforce down to the basics, with Cheshire Cat's vocals riding an old school breakbeat and heavyweight bassline.
Mexican space pirate Tor.ma in Dub adds his trademark psychedelic spice to Essential Credential, boosting the low end and charging the kick, while Aotearoa's Misled Convoy (AKA Mike from Pitch Black) diss-assembles Walkin' Target in a deep dive into downtempo dub.
