Info:

Meditative And Off-kilter, Dubkasm’s New 12” Is, Unsurprisingly, Completely Unlike Any Other Tune Out There, And Pays Tribute To A Too-frequently Overlooked Part Of Reggae Tradition: Dub Poetry. Originating In A Collaboration Between Dubkasm And Their Long-time Friend, Norway-dwelling Heavyweight Bass Guitarist, Bajan Steppa, Enter The Gates Is A Discomix Built On A Tuff Bassline, Skittering Drums And Retro Synths, And Features Reflective, Courageous Lyrics About The Enduring Power Of Black Liberation Movements And Consciousness, From Gloucester Vocalist Rider Shafique. The B-side Contains An Upfront Instrumental Cut, Followed, In True Dubkasm Style, By A Collaboration With A Musical Titan. Mad Professor’s Incredible Dub Flips The Original Into A Propulsive Soundsystem Killer, Retaining The Tune’s Heart And Spirit, But Driving And Percussive Where The Original Is Deep And Soulful. Mastered On To 1/2” Tape At Stardelta Studios, And Pressed On 180g Vinyl.
