Arky Starch - Rebel Phase EP (Self-published)

By Jah Rebel & JP Linard

"There's no rest for the wicked!" is an old English saying that perfectly applies to Arky Starch. The year has barely begun, yet he's already back with a brand-new 6-track EP. And with a title like Rebel Phase, he immediately grabs our attention!

Opener ‘Look Within’ is a classic instrumental Arky Starch dub reminiscent of his earlier works. However, the rest of the tracks on ‘Rebel Phase’ prove that Starch continues to evolve and experiment as a dub creator.

‘Judas’, previously released as a single, has been reworked for this EP by DJ Astro Black, an American producer, artist, and radio host now based in Australia.

We also thoroughly enjoyed the sax-meets-flute vibes in the instrumental ‘In Dub Mood’. But the absolute standout in the track list is undoubtedly ‘Dreadfulness’, featuring none other than Double Tiger on vocals! An exceptional tune on yet another highly accomplished release!
