C-Side 'Early Days Dub' (Green King Cuts)
Bristol-based producer C-Side turns in the debut release on new start-up label, Green King Cuts, a stomping dub cut in keeping with the output of labels such as Satta Don Dada’s Foundation Channel. ‘Early Days Dub’ might chug along rather than charge, but the dub horns, hazy sax, classic vocal sampling and solid bass palette give it plenty of ammo for the club. On the flip, Cessman ups the ante on his reverb-heavy remix to sign off on a solid, if a little overly nostalgic 12”.
