Awfully Deep

Witness (One Hope)

Big Dada look to be heading for their biggest hit yet with Mr Manuva’s long awaited new 12”. ‘Witness…’ ain’t going to win any awards for innovation, but that’s not the point. Typically odd Roots lyrics ride positively rude electronic riddims with some great, spacey FX. There’s also a so-so In The Flesh remix and a damn fine newie ‘Son Of The Soil’, with some delightfully drunk piano action.
