Banana Skank EP

Roots Manuva

A high-energy pivot where South London dub meets the dancefloor. Heavy sub-bass, 4/4 house rhythms, and that unmistakable baritone grit.

2012 · Big Dada Recordings

A high-pressure blend of celebratory club energy and gritty South London realism.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the WAFA remix where the traditional dub-hop rhythm breaks into a relentless house pulse.
The way the bassline on Natural seems to sag and bend under the weight of the baritone delivery.
The celebratory, almost gospel-inflected synth chords that brighten the closing minutes of Party Time.
