MAX RUBADUB & GENERAL TRIX: Sweet Like You (2014)

Is it Max Rubadub featuring General Trix or General Trix featuring Max Rubadub. Or General Trix and Max Rubadub. Or Max Rubadub and General Trix come to that. I dunno. The promo player suggests the first, the artwork suggests the second, Juno suggest the third and Max Rubadub’s soundcloud suggests the last. One thing is certain, Sweet Like You‘s lively tribute to Trix’s missus is a sweet digi-reggae bump. Remixes come in …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CAPITOL 1212 feat. M.A.D: Worldwide Echo (2014) + video

“Don’t hurt your head if you never get what you expect” urges superstylin’ former Groove Armada collaborator M.A.D. as the storm surge of 140 bpm breaks n bass that is Worldwide Echo, hits your ears. Then, during the occasional roots reggae breakdown, this very same M.A.D. encourages you to describe, how the “big sound echo” makes you feel (like he doesn’t know) and slyly intones the word ‘echo’ into your reeling forebrain until you’re unsure if it’s him or – well – some sort of echo. And …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CUT LA VIS feat. MYSTRO & MR MELODY: Little Way Different (2013)

Cut La Vis covers Erroll Dunkley’s reggae classic Little Way Different on the latest Irish Moss drop and like all good covers he changes it a bit because – well – every man do his thing a little way different right? Out goes Dunkley’s skipping reggae drums and any sense of the track being a stoned late night swayer and in comes a punchy 88 bpm break and rapper Mystro with a rhyme extolling the virtues of individuality. And the icing on the cake? The fact that there’s still room for the…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

CAPITOL 1212 feat. SEROCEE: Makin Disturbances (2013) + video

I can’t imagine Serocee needed much persuasion to get on the mic for this massive skanking hip-hop beat from Capitol 1212. Makin Disturbances‘ early September release date doesn’t quite open it up to the public in time for the UK’s second greatest carnival this weekend but rest assured you’re likely to hear it anyway since the promos have gone out. I say ‘hear it’ – feel it is more likely – rearranging the contents of your …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

GARDNA feat. PARLY B (prod. DR MEAKER): Big Bad Sound (2013)

The latest release on Dirty Dubsters‘ Irish Moss label is the big bad sound of southwestern bass-city, Bristol, UK, teaming up with…er – Doncaster. While Bristol has a globally recognised association with bass music, Doncaster has brought the world a bit of horse-racing and Jeremy fucking Clarkson. Not that Bristol MC Gardna is holding that against Donny MC Parly B – clearly, since he invited him to provide the hook (which makes this track) on …READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

FLATLINE feat. WERD2JAH: Slow Down (2012)

FLATLINE feat. WERD2JAH: Slow Down (2012)
Flatline are another signing to Dirty Dubsters’ Irish Moss label, and on Slow Down they deliver a bassline with enough clout to terminate the beating of hearts in any ribcages not protected by the safety cushion of spongy, tarry lungs cultivated through years of ganja abuse. Not to be outdone

DIRTY DUBSTERS / BLEND MISHKIN: Screechy Dan EP (2011)

DIRTY DUBSTERS / BLEND MISHKIN: Screechy Dan EP (2011)
For their third release Irish Moss bring us the Screechy Dan EP featuring veteran NY toaster Screechy Dan of Kenny Dope-produced Boomin’ In Ya Jeep fame. It’s a six tracker which is a lot of screeching, I think you’ll agree – but is our man Dan up to it? Does a bear shit on the Pope? Of course he is! Actually, in reality it’s two tracks with a brace of remixes apiece. Dirty Dubsters provide ridiculously heavy dub weaponry on Gift Of Dub is a super heavy slice of dub reggae with punishing snares and a tempo switch about halfway through which gets a dnb rerub from Run Tingz Cru and a breaks makeover from DJ Wood. If possible, Athenian dub maestro Blend Mishkin then ups the ante with…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
