Sideshow -“Fink Dubs Ep” out October 11
Label Aus Music
Cat. No. AUS1030
In keeping with his relentlessly dubby outlook, Sideshows latest offering comes with only one guarantee – expect delays!
Ninja Tune records have kindly allowed Aus Music to release some of Sideshow’s deep, intensely dubbed-out interpretations of the latest Fink album “Sort Of Revolution”, the critically acclaimed international singer-songwriters third album for the legendary stable.
On the vinyl we have the two Sideshow rubs of the album’s lead singles. “Sort Of Dubolution” (a dub of the album’s title track), comes as a classic Sideshow live dub epic, drenched in Finks signature vocals alongside an earth-moving bass line. Follower “Dub It All” (an edit of Fink’s “See It All”) is a stabbier, angular take on the original reminiscent of Scuba’s recent late-night masterpieces.
Sideshow’s re-work of the track “Q&A” kick starts the flip side – a subtle, persuasive track perfect for those comedown sunrises. Joined by “Don’t Look Down in Dub”, the track sees Sideshow transform Finks vocal efforts into a Thom York-esque creation an ideal roundup to a tripped-out collection of remixes.
Exclusive for the digital release is Sideshow’s “Dub Is The Thing” – a vocal rework of what is possibly Fink’s biggest track “This Is The Thing”. Starting soft and warm the track features an intense walking bass line that wouldnt sound out of place on an early Scientist record
In addition to this EP, Sideshow has just completed two exclusive tracks for the forthcoming All Night Long 2 album on Aus. Also included on this will be the Sideshow remix of Nedry’s now classic cut “A42″.
