Rare Roots from the Vault with Ash Walker

All music rights belong to their rightful owners. Please support the musicians and buy their music. Four years on from his explorative third fulllength Aquamarine, Londoner Ash Walker returns with an equally ambitious followup, set for release via Night Time Stories on 30th June. Alongside a plethora of awardwinning collaborators and combining a dizzying array of sounds, Astronaut hears Walker push his astral shower of rhythm and vibes to new heights. If Aquamarine was the takeoff of his audial spaceship, Astronaut is the cosmic voyage reaching terminal velocity; a rocketpowered masterclass spanning jazz, blues, soul, funk, and reggae. These are some of the records and productions that inspire me on a day to day. Dub Roots are the underpinnings of how I form my music and in this selection are some of the rarer records in my collection including artists such as Eric Clarke (brother of Johnny Clarke) Cecille Campbell (sister of Cornell Campbell) Junio
