Dark Globe's Electrifying Remix: Smudge All Stars' 'Revolution' ft. Earl 16

In the realm of electronic dance music, evolution is the name of the game. Dark Globe, UK breaks pioneers, have entered the arena with their captivating remix of Smudge All Stars’ “Revolution” featuring Earl 16. This electrifying remix breathes new life into an already impressive track.

Earl 16’s vocals, with their conscious lyricism touching on life, the world, and humanity, are the driving force behind “Revolution.” Originally inspired by a Serengeti bird song, which was subtly woven into the original groove, this song carries a profound message. It was part of a recording session featuring Earl 16 and Benjamin Zephaniah, and its depth resonates through the music.

Dark Globe takes these potent vocals and layers them over heavy electronic dance floor beats, adding a fresh dimension to the track. The result is a sonic journey that seamlessly merges the world of reggae with electronic dance music, creating a mesmerizing fusion.

This remix follows the collective’s earlier release, “Our Lives,” which garnered praise for its Xtended mix, featuring reggae and dub legends Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, Earl Sixteen, and Dennis Bovell. The blend of funk and reggae showcased in “Our Lives” set the stage for “Revolution.”

The Smudge All Stars are a London-based funk/soul collective that boasts an impressive lineup, including the likes of George Clinton, Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry, and Alfred Pee Wee Elis. Led by Richie Stevens, a talented drummer, percussionist, and producer, this ensemble draws on his extensive musical network. Stevens’ collaborations have ranged from Horace Andy and Joss Stone to Boy George and Damon Albarn, making him a sought-after artist in his own right.
