Death of the Revolution

Quantic

Heavy dub bass meets Colombian cumbia in a humid, tape-saturated haze. A low-slung, mysterious record that feels like a midnight walk through Cali.

Find on Amazon

It's like a lost 70s cumbia tape that spent twenty years getting dusty in a Kingston dub studio.

A heavy, humid, and mysterious blend of tropical rhythm and cavernous dub space.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The cavernous reverb on the title track that swallows the percussion whole
The sudden, sharp horn blast that cuts through the murky bass of Cuidad del Swing
The way the vocal harmonies on Mi Chocolatina feel like they are drifting from a distant radio
The seven-minute hypnotic descent of Dub Del Pacifico where the rhythm becomes a trance
