No Cigar on 12" Single

Shit Robot's "No Cigar" was recorded in London at Al Doyle and

Joe Goddard's Relax And Enjoy Studios, a hanging Chad from

the sessions that finished 2023's 5 Songs EP. This is slower,

dubbier Shit, 110bpm with a spare arrangement and a barely

sung vocal saying only, "Close no cigar."

It begged for a proper dub for the b-side, something that threw it

around in space but didn't necessarily change it up, something

that sounded a bit like African Head Charge and New Age

Steppers and early-80s On-U Sound records. So we asked the

guy who made those records, Adrian Sherwood, if he'd have a

go. Miraculously, he said yes, and his version is actually exactly

on the money
