Our House Mag - Perfect 5/5 Review:
“Last issue we covered Dusted Roots Vol 4 from the always impressive duo of San Francisco's Andrew Phelan & Origami and just one short UK summer later they're back with the next instalment. Again it takes a tracky, sample based approach across the 4 tracks, the standout of which is 'The Life', a sure-fire floor mover thanks to its unbounded ass-shakin funkiness, massive bassline and mid 90's garage-style female vocal.”
