EP Review: Art-X & The Roots Addict - Polarity (2020)

Issued on the Original Dub Gathering imprint, Polarity is another fine mini album or EP-length release from French melodica maestro Art-X, and another collaboration with the Roots Addict. It follows on from their equally impressive Under Mi Kulcha joint release of a few years back. 

Polarity consists of six tracks, all being instrumental (voiceover samples aside), and all being resplendent in a skanky roots reggae style. Which means copious amounts of melodica, bass, vintage keys, and earthy guitar tones. 

The best tracks are opener 'Origin', plus 'The Smoke of Hell', and the super rootsy closer 'Moonlight', but they’re all decent, and you can pick up a hard-to-resist free download direct from the Original Dub Gathering website (here).
