A smart collection of tracks here that have been compiled by Kevin Martin (The Bug, King Midas Sound, etc.) and Stuart Baker (Soul Jazz Records). Available as a 2CD set which comes with a small graphic novel by Paolo Parisi and two separate loud cut double vinyl volumes, the first of which includes the graphic novel and the second of which comes with a poster. The sets contain exclusive new material and sought after tracks from the current and future wave of bass music practitioners alongside some total killer original innovations from Jamaica's finest digital dub and dancehall legends. The tracklisting reads like a who's who of oldskool meets newskool. Some seriously heavyweight productions from Fat Eyes, Steven Ventura 4 Kings Of Kings, Sly Dunbar & Christopher Birch, David Jahson, Parara & McCoy, Andre 'Suku' Gray, Henfield & Shadowman, Lenky & Sly, Dave Kelly, Annex Crew, Lenky, Team Shadatek, Fira, Diplo, Ward 21, Redlight, South Rakkas Crew, King Tubby, Worldbeat, Firehouse Crew, Computer Paul, Prince Jazbo, Kickin' Productions, Pliers, The Bug, Harmonic 313, Steely & Clevie, Ricky Ranking, Federation Sound, Stereotyp ft. Alley Cat, The Grynch ft. Tippa Irie. So an exceptionally tidy collection that pays homage to the past while still keeping an eye locked on the future. A no brainer.
