Roll The Dice meets Pole.

Stefan Betke first came into contact with Roll The Dice’s Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon when they asked him to master their Live in Gothenburg EP in 2011. Betke, who runs his own Scape Mastering studio in Berlin, is better known by his artist name, Pole, responsible for some of the most distinctive and influential electronic records of the last 20+ years, from the sparse, ghostly dub sounds of his early albums (1, 2 and 3 from the late ‘90s) to the more recent Waldgeschichten (“Forest Stories”) EPs, which make a logical connection to the world of dubstep, a genre Pole strongly influenced with his earlier work.

Pardon and Mannerfelt were delighted when he agreed to rework three tracks from In Dust for this soundclash EP, entitled In Dubs. Originally titled ‘Calling All Workers’, ‘Idle Hands’ and ‘The Skull Is Built Into The Tool’, these are dramatic and harmonious rerubs worthy of the adopted dub reggae nomenclature. Pole’s work exhibits a similar warmth and analogue physicality as that of Roll The Dice, so it’s a marriage made in heaven.
