Dub Touch
Dub Touch is Ben Fordham, a regular face at Whirl-Y-Gig. As a guitarist Ben was originally into punk and metal, until a chance meeting with Whirl-Y-Gig at Shoreditch Townhall back in '94 changed it all. In '97/'97 Ben hosted a series of Touch Tribe parties in Balam (SW London) and then in '98 scored a hit with DJ Monkey Pilot at Whirl-Y-Gig with 'The Door', a global dub track. In 1999 Ben unveiled 'Instant Sunlight' which now features on the Whirl-Y-Waves Vol.2 Global Grooves compilation.

CD Single/12": Instant Sunlight[RTSV003] | |||
Released 1999 on Red Tiger Records. Written and produced by Ben Fordham. Head straight for the House of Jah version of this superb track. As the title suggests, this track radiates good vibes. Mid-paced trancey beats overlaid by clattery percussion (sounding a bit like a darabuk) combines with catchy samples and funky guitars in this Whirl-Y-Gig classic. Its very bouncy, uplifting and infectious. The House of Jah mix also features on the Whirl-Y-Waves Vol.2 Global Grooves compilation. The Big Beat mix and the rather manic Break Beat mix aren't as fun as the House of Jah mix, although if drum and bass if more your kind of thing you'll probably appreciate them more than me. Contact Dub Touch directly to get hold of a copy of this track either on vinyl or CD (see below).
