Gun Fevah – 45 Seven 24
Champion Sound se encarga de hacer sonar la referencia número 24 del sello 45 Seven con dos tracks originales.
Gun Fevah’ and ‘Wise Man’ are the latest offerings from Champion Sound, blending halftime rhythms and jungle aesthetics into a seamless package of dub-infused tracks. Formed in the Russian underground, the crew behind this 7″ came together through a shared love of reggae. Neekeetone’s drums and Koondoongoo’s bass laid the foundation, with the pair meeting Distant Roots at Dub Raw Camp in the Caucasus. It’s clear that these global influences have seeped into the record. Released on 45Seven, a label known for pushing the boundaries of dubby jungle, this release feels both rooted in tradition and forward-thinking.
‘Gun Fevah’ opens with echoing horns and skanks before plunging into a murky jungle atmosphere, driven by sharp halftime snares. It’s all about building tension, the kind of track that doesn’t rush to make its impact but lingers, unhurried yet potent. On the flip side, ‘Wise Man’ takes a more familiar route, evoking Sesame’s Treat with its playful energy, carried by a bassline that’s endlessly rolling and hypnotic. The duo’s mastery of space and depth makes these tunes perfect for sound system sessions, where each element resonates fully. It’s dub music with a jungle twist, looking both back to its origins and ahead to its future.
