If you've recovered from the all out bass attack from Disrupt on the
recent Scotch bonnet 10", you'll probably be in a fit state for this
ultra-heavyweight 4-tracker from Rootah, Disrupt, Blaze Dem and strangely
enough, John Frum aka Type's Julien Neto. Frum heads up the A-side with a
magnificent traditional variant on 'January dub', transferring his
velveteen production touch from his Julien Neto persona into a dub doused
spaced bass variation, using classic space echo and delay techniques to
push his sounds into the furthest corners of the groove, creating skilled
artificial environments almost on the scale of Vladislav Delay, but
harnessed into a traditional dub format that absolutely destroys us, if
they all smoked a heap of green on Twin Peaks i'm certain this would be on
their boombox. Flip to the other side for more highly decimated dub
treatments from Blaze dem, on a cinematic digi dub ting with 'Roots
defender' reminding us of Prince Jazzbo's seminal 'replay version', while
the big man like Disrupt puts in one his finest 8-bit bass botherations on
'Kozure okami', a skunky dub joint that just own it.
