Grant Dell - Wicked People (Worship Recordings)

Twenty years after his first appearance on Worship Recordings, dub-tech vibes abound on "Wicked People," the latest release by Grant Dell.

First joining the Worship Recordings roster in 2003 with his Touch Dub EP, London producer Grant Dell has had over 50 releases under various monikers, including Uhuru Beats, Croydon Punks Ltd, Masonic Noodles, and the Chicago Transit Authority. His first release as Tribalation on Loaded Records was licensed to Strictly Rhythm, and the rest is dance music history. As well as the obvious Chicago House and Detroit Techno influences, Grant's eclectic tastes range from Basic Channel to Barrington Levy, and it's the latter lineage that runs most potently through "Wicked People."

The potent rhythm track was originally sent to Jamaica, where DJ Tennant vibed strongly with Grant's foundation. Tennant's distinctive chants and spoken declarations organically took root over the cut's slinky groove transforming it into something mightier. After the results were in hand, Grant added more rhythm parts and effects as well as the snaking, wobbly acid line. Now ready for global sound systems, this track's flawless sonics and powerful vocal performance fit perfectly alongside the moody dub-house sounds that Worship Recordings has pioneered and developed over the past two decades. Says Worship's Rob Paine, "The universe brought us together at the right time, and I think this one is going to rank high in the underground."

Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Love both mixes. Grand & Worship are a great match.”
Shane Johnson (Fish Go Deep) – “Love it! A big, bassy groove perfectly executed. Will feature on the show.”
Adam Collins (Omni A.M.) – “Wicked dubby afterhours goodness. Grand and Worship are a solid match, bravo!”
Lee Jones (Country Gents) – “This is amazing! Can’t wait to play it on a rig.”
Velanche (Urban Landscapes Show) – “Really solid grooves. Good to hear from Worship Records again.”
Hober Mallow (Mighty Reel, Sydney) – “Killer deep dubby sounds, thank you. It’s a really nice sound for the radio show here in the afternoon.”
