Bringing nothing more than a guitar and a vocal sample, Splet spent an afternoon in January at Proper Studios with Oni I. They wanted to play some real instruments, write and record a riddim, and see what happened next. After successfully recording a foundational track it was decided that both artists would take this away and make their own version individually from what had been roughly constructed together. Track 1 is where Splet took this embryonic idea, exploring a journey through abstracted roots reggae via a wash of Dub Techno texture. Track 2 is the sound of Oni I smashing head-first into a deep and driving Digidub, soundsystem monster. It was then decided that each version should be stripped of its component parts and mashed up to create a hybrid, with each artist folding and manipulating the two versions together to create a whole new take. Track 3 is Oni I stripping down these components to reveal a blissful roots rocker full of subtle warmth and groove, while track 4 sees Splet liquifying everything into a pool of gushing, dripping, pulsating ambience.

One riddim.
Four tracks.
ROOTS REGGAE.
DUB ROCK.
