Fully Bearded

Groove Armada & Bryan Ferry - Shameless Dub

Tim Love Lee founded the Tummy Touch label back in 1996, and immediately established a presence in the dance music world with Groove Armada. In the last few years has brought us Tom Vek and The Phenomenal Handclap Band. He also found time to record several fine albums and curate a few compilations. 15 years later he is commemorating his label with Fully Bearded: 15 Years of Tummy Touch in Dub, a collection of dubbed out versions of Tummy Touch classic tracks, plus a few choice extras.
