Top Cat At Juno Download

Review: Irish wobble-maestros Dirty Dubsters continue their relentless assault on the junodownload charts, unveiling "Girls Pon Mi Mind" a eminently carnival ready collaboration with Champion UK Deejay Top Cat, which comes backed with some switch em up remixes. The original version pays equal attention to the chunked out beats as it does the authentic dubbed out skank riddims that shift in and out of focus along with some vintage JA horns, whilst Top Cat's distinctive delivery rides the circa 140bpm bump with aplomb. Those wanting something a bit rowdier will no doubt be satisfied by the accompanying remixes from Liondub and Spenda C which flip "Girls Pon Mi Mind"in a vintage jungle stylee and main room dumbstep way respectively.

Review: One of jungle's most distinctive micsmiths, Top Cat's succinct smoky politics are declared loud and clear on both Pankik and M Rode's 2009 version and a brand new rub from jump-up supremo Heist. The former is undiluted skank bounce garnished with vibrant party vibes on every farting bass bump. The latter, however, couldn't be filthier. Heist's saw-toothed abilities seemingly know no bounds at present - droning, hollow tones hold hands with rasping, waspy growls to form yet another marriage in floor-fuelling shock out harmony. Quintessential drum and bass jungle.
