Shit Robot – No Cigar [12″]

Joe Goddard’s Relax And Enjoy Studios, a hanging Chad from the sessions that finished 2023’s 5 Songs EP. This is slower, dubbier Shit, 110bpm with a spare arrangement and a barely sung vocal saying only, “Close no cigar.” It begged for a proper dub for the b-side, something that threw it around in space but didn’t necessarily change it up, something that sounded a bit like African Head Charge and New Age Steppers and early-80s On-U Sound records. So we asked the guy who made those records, Adrian Sherwood, if he’d have a go. Miraculously, he said yes, and his version is actually exactly on the money.
