“Mabonda / Walter’s Pass” is the title of the newly formed Roots Unit’s first release. Roots Unit are Piers Harrison and Christopher Galloway, a duo mainly known for being half of Soft Rocks. Roots Unit are dedicated to bringing some life back into house music! This and forthcoming releases sees them dig deep into their roots and you can expect to hear many influences from dub reggae to deep techno and lots more in between. Roots Unit produce all their music with analogue gear and tape machines.
They already have remixes pending for the likes of Andrew Weatherall, Scott Hardkiss and new 20-20 Vision signing Christophe, so the latter part of 2009 looks like being a good start to this new adventure. You should also look out for their forthcoming “Beats In Space” show that will encapsulate the sound they are trying to get across.
Roots Unit’s “Mabonda / Walter’s Pass” has been released October 2, 2009 on the Permanent Vacation imprint. The record received huge support from Âme, The Revenge, Trevor Jackson, Damon Martin (Disco Bloodbath), Eric Duncan (Still Going / Rub’n Tug), Hunee, Marcus Worgull, Gerd Janson, Trickski, Roy Dank / The Wurst, Jacques Renault, Willie Graff, Toby Tobias, Photonz, and other luminaries.
