Debut EP for Vancouver's much-hyped purveyor of dark and addictive bass music.
Babe Rainbow's gothic futurist take on bass music is set to divert quite a few sets of ears from the scene's core in
London. The Vancouver-based artist has been developing his own special blend of dark atmospherics and disembodied beats
that will feature on his debut 'Shaved EP'. With recent high-profile remixes for Midnight Juggernauts and Comanechi, as
well as an genre-spanning mixtape in the works, 2010 should hold much more for Babe Rainbow.
Previously known for his remixing work on Wavves and You Say Party! We Say Die!, and his organisation of Vancouver's
biggest independent arts festival, Babe Rainbow carves a name for himself with this dark, addictive debut EP.
Something strange is happening in Canada. It seems like such a nice, happy country, but the haunted, malevolent music
wheezing out from its bowels suggests a different story. Take Babe Rainbow, who makes dubstep death marches, spooked
songs that stumble down endless, murky corridors. - NME,
Vancouver's Cameron Reed - aka Babe Rainbow - creates haunted, murky, 'inverted dubstep cave recordings' that evoke
similar feelings of paranoia/anxiety as SALEM's darkest and most desolate work. - Gorilla Vs. Bear, Self-described as
'surf-step', Reed applies the hazy atmospherics of a West coast shoreline to some abstract form of dubstep. While he
hasn't actually released anything official yet, Reed has attracted a ton of blog love with his misty re-edits of Wavves
and You Say
Party! We Say Die!, along with his own swampy tracks. - Exclaim Magazine, Babe Rainbow has got curves in all the right
places. That's right, Cameron Reed aka Babe Rainbow is an instance of dubstep finding home in North America and
sounding fantastic. - The Fmly.
Available on limited edition 12" (250 copies).
