Bless Me (mike schommer rmx) by Babe Roots 06:53 5. Sufferation Time (babe roots rmx) by Babe Roots 04:24 Following the success of last years Babe Roots EP, Echocord revisits the package with reworks from Forest Drive West, Mike Schommer, Felix K, DB1 and Babe Roots themself. London™s DB1 leads the package with his take on ˜Work Hard™, a mostly beatless interpretation fuelled by oscillating white noise, winding dub chords and snippets of the original™s dub reggae vocals. Hidden Hawai™s Felix K then ups the energy levels with a high-octane take on ˜Sufferation Time™, driven by upfront, shuffled and distorted drums and unfaltering, tension building dub swells. The hotly tipped Forest Drive West steps up next to remix ˜Jah Nuh Dead™, a typically classy reimagining from the Livity Sound artist, stipping things back to ethereal pads, off-kilter percussion and sporadic echoes of the original composition. Former Deepchord member Mike Schommer™s take on ˜Bless Me™ follows, the pioneer of contemporary dub techno delivers a cinematic rework employing sweeping voices, glitched out electronics and resonant swells alongside the bouncy dub reggae groove of the original. Lastly Babe Roots revisit one of their own compositions, ˜Sufferation Time™, delivering a more refined feel this time round with more impetus on drums and dark, hypnotic synths to contrast the original™s more vocal focused feel.
