Das SPEZIAL return with their latest single Roots, a bold and melodic track with Brighton based singer and lyricist Abi D’Arcy.
It began, as so many Das SPEZIAL works do, with a collaboration between producer Shahab Notghi and Stew Jackson (Massive Attack). Inspired by world music—particularly Gambian rock and African rhythms—the pair set out to merge these influences with a 1960s vibe, weaving sitar, African percussion and vintage arrangements into a rich, psychedelic instrumental. To give the track added depth and emotional weight, cellist Drew Morgan was brought in, his warm, resonant lines enriching the soundscape.
