Hailing from Brighton, UK, Richie Phoe drops 'Bumpy's Lament', a dubwise reinterpretation of the Isaac Hayes classic, released as a 7-inch single on Canadian label Balanced Records. Deep and rolling, 'Bumpy's Lament' is sure to please connoisseurs of funky reggae. On the B-side, Phoe delivers positive vibes with 'Electric Boogie', a nod to '80s dancehall destined to brighten the smokiest of rooms.
In 2008 Richie released the critically lauded 'Eye on the Prize' EP, featuring UK Reggae legend Tippa Irie, which gained BBC radio play from Rob Da Bank, Huw Stephens, Mark Lammar and an interview on Steve Lamacq's Radio 2 show. Two tracks from the EP were used in the MTV program,'Dirty Sanchez' and Richie ignited California's 'Reggae Rising' festival with his sound.
