Switching Sides

Roots Manuva

Heavy sub-bass and murky baritone flows. A masterclass in South London dub-rap minimalism that feels like a slow walk through a foggy midnight city.

April 16, 2016 · Big Dada Recordings

A heavy, introspective weight that feels like a quiet conversation in a dark room.

Moments Worth Listening For
The way the sub-bass on Iron Shirt swallows the mid-range before the vocal enters.
The skeletal, clicking percussion of Watch that feels like a ticking clock in an empty room.
The transition into the instrumental half where the dub echoes finally take center stage.
