Taking top posi on the menu this time around is some no quarter taken genetically reconstituted and manically modified audio ackee & saltfish in the form of a dancehall romp with a little chicanery over on the NYC/Tdot axis….yum yum! I think for once I managed to say what I meant in the Mixcloud blurble, so that is below.
‘Bashment business from 2001 when Timbaland was ruling the roost and rhythms like the Buy Out, The Itch and Thunder were sending out genial (and downright awesome) warning blips about the tacky roads dancehall would later be led down. Back then though, this was exciting stuff as folks like Dave & Tony Kelly and Frenchie, and plenty others experimented with pop shapes and created something new in the process. At the same time there was a good (almost last) gasp of hip hop reggaematical flavourisings from New York with Ayotollah etc and of course the long time stinking favourite Kardinal Offishall dishing out the damage over the border in T dot. There’s a rare sighting of a Stinky Special taking the air outside of the crates with Cham’s all purpose BdB dub Heading For The Top and shedloads more on a quick fire dancehall round that takes no prisoners and accepts no apology. Forward!!!’
Next round from the dusty old racks of the Stinkmix Cellar/Jim’s Country Bunker is Stinkbombs 606 – King Pong …I’m not even sure what is on that from memory right now – so that should be interesting… or at least revealing. I have a hankering to put something fresh down, maybe before Xmas if house hoo-ha, work and willingness allow and I’m leaning towards a ruthlessly rocking set of the wood & metal, musical meat & psychedelic potatoes, gat & vox variety but I’m just guessing really…….
