MAKIN236 – Afronaut featuring Just One “Ground Zero”

 Makin’ Moves bring this archived studio gem to the forecourt as it was just too damn good to be left sitting on the drive! Rewind back to 2005 and a chance studio meeting in London between Bugz in the Attic producer Afronaught aka Orin Walters and Justin Chapman aka Just One, who was in town to play a gig with the Bugz crew.

Fast forward the two decided to work on some tracks, and this one captures a time in London where there was a huge melting pot of new sounds in the broken beat era / scene and that sound was at the forefront of London’s club scene including night’s like Co-op at Plastic People in Shoreditch. However, these sounds still have stayed the test of time and very prominent still in clubland today.

Justin’s vocals touch on the persistence of race in American politics – an issue that was as real in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina is it is in the post George Floyd era.

Phil Asher (RIP) at the time loved the track and decided to do his own “Restless Soul Dub” version, adding his characteristic drums and stripping the vocal back while also keeping the blending the soulfulness of Justin’s original mix.

Produced by Afronaut for Bugzintheattic
Recorded & Mixed by Orin Waters at the Bitasuite
