DANDELION レコード& CD

Review: We might out of summer and into darker nights and colder days but you can warm yourself to your core with this new 12" of crystal clean digital steppers from LoDubs. Dandelion kicks off with the easy going vibes and subtle warrior leads of 'Time For The Rebel' then Bukkha meets Sarah Tobias on 'Inna Rubadub' which has some beautifully sunny flutes and tasing sax riffs. 'End of the Line' is a nice rhythm from Jane Bee & Roger Robinson before Bukkha's 'Inna Rubadub' gets a twisted sci-fi rework.

Review: Long running dub dons Nice Up! unveil a brand new talent on their latest: that man is Escape Roots, a Glaswegian producer and Mungo's HiFi's Walk n Skank resident who calls upon vocalist Dandelion to muse on the many different joys of ganga. Riding on classic dancehall rhythms with hooky guitar riffs and tumbling claps, Dandelion touches on toothpaste, butter, soap and the titular Ganga Socks. It's tongue in cheek, head in the clouds stuff that will have you skanking for days. For those who like it more stripped back, flipside "Version" is where it's at.
