The 11th single on theRiddim Chango imprint features a dub poet from Kingston, Nazamba. He dropped a debut single onThe Bug's Pressure label which followed by a full album onDubquake Records. (Run by Europe's leading soundsystem crew,O.B.F) The riddim is made byElementwho is a co-founder of Riddim Chango records.
On the A-side, Nazamba's earth-shattering and vexed poetry tells a true story of black oppression and the minimal tech-stepper riddim accelerates the power of the dub-poet. On the flip side,“Xpander”is instrumental stepper track influenced by 90s UK militant digital dub. It is built with layered Oberheim's classic synth sounds and solid drums and bass. Low-end focused part2 has lesser elements with greater energy in a classic dubwise manner.
The 3 tracks on the 12” have been soundsystem approved for promised bass weight and balance.
