Too Far Gone EP featuring Vaughn Benjamin. with Scientist, J Gabriel, Mike Shannon & Deadbeat mixes.
Marking the second release on the Convent label is a rare outing from Dub Reggae pioneer, Scientist, in collaboration with label founder, J Gabriel. The EP spans through silky smooth dub moods for the chilled out head boppers, with the remixes nodding in a more club oriented direction, carefully crafted by Mike Shannon & Deadbeat, with another twist in the tale from J Gabriel.
The title track is a masterclass in Dub Reggae, and sure to become a hit amongst the tastemakers of that scene in the summer months, and features vocals from Vaughn Benjamin. The classic dusty drums hit hard, as the hypnotic strings continue to evolve, with an irresistible bass that can only make you move. The A side also includes a dub version of the original and an “On Vacation Dub”, this interpretation takes you on a more spaced out route complimenting the rest of the EP.
