Eric Powell feat Joe Roberts - Rebel In The Morning (Jake Childs and Jimi Goodwin Remixes) - BUSH

Eric Powell’s passion for reggae runs deep and has long been part of his musical identity.

Powell has now took that passion into the studio, teaming up with Joe Roberts to record “Rebel In The Morning.” The track brings together an exceptional lineup of talent: Joe Roberts delivers the lead vocals, complemented by the legendary “Studio One” MC - Papa Michigan.
The rhythm section is equally impressive, with Morgan Pugh on bass guitar, Roger Walker on rhythm guitar, and Robert Bennett on drums, creating a rich, groove-driven sound that stays true to reggae traditions.

Elevating the release further, fellow Mancunian Jimi Goodwin (of the Doves) steps behind the mixing desk to craft an authentic OG dub mix, bringing depth and atmospheric texture to the track.

Meanwhile, long-time Bush collaborator Jake Childs reimagines the song with a deeper house interpretation, offering a fresh, club-ready perspective without losing the track’s core essence.
