Silly Little Things

A 4 track dub ep (24m 45s) — released March 5th 2012 on Ranking Records

Ranking Records are proud to present their first release from Bristol-borne bass giants, Dub From Atlantis. DFA have been playing and promoting all styles of reggae music in Bristol since the summer of 2000, performing with most of Bristol's best known reggae artists as well as newcomers to the scene & big names from out of town. Silly Little Things shows Dub From Atlantis’s unique ability to fuse a classic dub foundation with modern production twists. The saxes played by James Gardiner Bateman hark back to vintage Studio One records, and Celestine floats over the instrumental with beautiful melodies, taking influence from classic reggae and soul. The low end is taken care of by mighty sub bass frequencies. Dub From Atlantis draw deep for the dub, which is peppered with stylish licks from James Gardiner Bateman and Josh Archaleo. Cymatic is a production crew consisting of some of the most prolific and respected producers in UK dance music: Ruckspin, DLR, Quantum Soul and Chris Octane come together for their first ever release on Ranking - a nasty brooding dubstep stinker that lurches and grooves towards a synth rinseout on the second drop. This one’s been murdering dance floors so handle with care! Kähn is from a new generation of Bristol producers and DJs, brought up in the city's renowned culture of sound-systems, punk rock and hip-hop. While true to its tradition and respecting its influence, he's building a following based on a sound of his own. His Silly Little Things remix comprises a funky as hell 2-step shuffle that bubbles over Celestine’s vocal so neatly that it could almost be an original version. Reverse instruments and long, ambient reverbs pad the background, and as the beats and bass develop, a dreamy sonic landscape reminiscent of Ranking regulars Ruckspin and Quark oozes out of the speakers.
