Review: Canadian Trinidadian Tingstradamus links up with Zebulun for a powerful slab of consciousness. Big swagger on the beats and raw soul in the dancehall style vocals. Emphatic, inspiring and loaded with positive vibes, the original hits with soulful style before Serial Killaz get their grubby hands on it for the ultimate festival-ready skank-up. Savage, addled with energy and raw enough to have a whole field of ravers rushing. Deliver yourself to the 'Hands Of Evil' as soon as you can!
Review: A friend in need is a friend indeed but a friend with a really good music collection, some decks, a love for the party is definitely better... Especially when they're packing the excellent Top Cat reboots that Streetlife have been spraying these days. Following weekly spark-ups we're now treated to the whole album-sized collection. Remixes come from the highest of grade: Kleu, Harley D, Upgrade, Deekline, Leaf, Liondub, Serial Killaz And the songs themselves are some of the most iconic jungle lyrics of all time. Highlights include Klue's joker-smoker blasting fire up of 'Friend In Need', Fleck's savage jungle mash-up of 'Pirate Radio' and the hurricane-like shake-up of 'Mr Undertaker' from Liondub.
Review: Following the massive remixes of 'Bun The Sensi' and 'Gallist' more Top Cat anthems get the rub from some of the biggest players. This time it's all about 'Champion Deejay' and once again it's an all star cast as Serial Killaz, SubZero and Warhead join forces for a powerful tear-up flex, Voltage goes all subby and slinky while Mob Tactics deliver some incredible good with some brilliant emotional chords on the breakdown. Brian Brainstorm finishes the EP with precision skanks. Every base covered... Enough to keep all deejays happy, champion ones especially.
Review: What a remix rollcall! Aries & Gray, Serum, DJ Hybrid, DJ Limited. Is there's a better list of artists to reboost this Top Cat jungle classic then we'd like to see it. Absolute vibes across the board from the authentic breakbeat feels of Aries and Gray's twist to the big bassline action of Serum and the contemporary jungle feels of DJ Hybrid's twist. DJ Limited brings the stomp for an almighty finale fire-up. Special dedications all round!
Review: When it comes to skanks you can always rely on the jungle/jump-up fusioneers Serial Killaz. Two of the most prolific and hardest working men in the bass game, for their next bullet they've collided with the Ragga Twins to pop the style once again. "Duppy Man" takes a very well-known riddim, ups the tempo and beefs up the drums while leaving more than enough space for Flinty and Deman to spit their lyrical signature. Complete with a mind-bogglingly twisted dancehall remix and instrumentals, this one covers absolutely everything that's great about the fizzy cross-pollination happening in drum & bass right now.
Review: Premium rudeboy business from the ever reliable roller rover Gold Dubs and venom-tongue Cheshire Cat. "Bad Boy Deya" sports some fire staccato bars from Cheshire while Gold shakes out a tropical halftime sway, "Control" is a stripped back stepper with notes of blue coded deep into the waspy bassline, "War Paint" is an outstanding junglized stepper shock out and "Raise The Banner" is a turbo dancehall stamper. "Steppin'" finalises this gully affair with a moody dramatic ragga halftime entry theme. Powerful scenes.
