Review: As far as dubstep veterans go, Von D holds a special place in steppers history, with a long run of 140 classics under his belt. He here offers two of his more hard hitting recent originals up for remix duty and the combination of Hypho and Moresounds simply could not resist getting involved. Firstly, we hear Hypho's potent rethink of 'Hardcore Dub Music', which alongside featuring some tidy vocal work from Rider Shafique, packs a real classic steppers punch. Following this, we hear Moresounds rebuild 'Frictions' into a more march-ready roller, providing a perfect secret weapon to mash up the dance.
Review: Von D's been busy lately, and it's not surprising to us given just how effective this man's strain of dubstep is to the ears of any unsuspecting label owner. The producer brings some dread-out lion vibes to the AMAR imprint, starting off with the heartical steps of "Burn Baphomet", a dark, pounding hammer of bass with the occasional Rasta chant. "Les 12 Colonnes" retains all that excellent jah spirit, except here the rhythm is bouncier, more system-friendly, and no doubt played out by the likes of Iration Steppas or Jah Youth when they're in a mood to step!
