ADAM PRESCOTT Vinyl & CDs

Review: Bump 'n Grind Wax's latest limited edition is another juicy drop for those red hot summer days. It's a fine 7" from Mr Reggae Roast himself aka Adam Prescott who has been rolling out the tunes on Backative, Moonshine and 4Weed for a couple of years now. Rachel Wallace provides the super sweet and soulful vocal (as well as remixing) on this one which rolls like a laidback Tam Tam Club beat with sunny pads and tropical dub beats. On the flip is a dub that is beefed up with extra effects and heady twisting synth work.

Review: Soundsystem legend Mark Iration links up with new school stepper and producer Adam Prescott for this standout single on Zamzam. Following up Prescott's last single 'Fear' with Macka B in 2017 - and the most recent documentary on Iration Steppas by Dubquake Records - comes this first single on vinyl in 5 years, since the latter artist's mega limited wax on Dub-Stuy. 'Acid Storm' is a rough dubsteppers' honker, as fitting for any tatted-up DJ's DMZ set as it is for sub-hugging at Leeds' West Indian Centre. Glitching piano stabs separate this one from the rest, and herald the B-side: 'Year3000 Style' stomps away even harder, zooming in on that snare's insane spring delay.
