  • Description

    Brilliant, haughty Jamaican avant-gardism, inspired by Jammy's Sleng Teng explosion, rearing up at a Hackney crossroads in north east London, and facing down techno, hiphop, breakbeat and rave. Staggering, exhilarating reggae music made by soundmen on a Casio and a drum machine, in a room over Eddie Regal's record shop. Presented as a next generation companion to London Is The Place For Me, the mood is more defiant - a Jamaican secession from London - with themes of inner city sufferation running alongside hymns to the dancehall and the herb superb. Brilliantly mastered by Moritz from Basic Channel.
