Bristol’s Rob Smith (a.k.a. RSD) delivers this remix from Reggae Roast’s recently released Righteous EP (artwork above). The London-based label has made a name for itself connecting the dots between traditional reggae music and the exploding styles of the UK bass scene, and this, its fifth release, is set to continue that reputation. The organ and horns of the original track (featuring the production of Evergreen, Landlord, and Ruckspin) are replaced with their dubbed-out counterparts, letting MC Danman’s uplifting lyrics take the lead when present. As the track progresses, it seems to float like a lazy river, the beat acting as the constant rhythmic anchor of the remix while Smith manages to bathe almost every element, save the kick drum and bass, in gloriously vast delay and reverb trails. The Righteous EP features this remix as well as the original, a dub from Nucleus Roots, and another remix courtesy of Dark Arx. It is available now in both 12″ vinyl and digital format.
