My secret single of the week is a curious collaboration on NY no wave label ROIR. And it's a cool spacey dubstep banger from Kode 9 vs. Badawi. Yes. NY finally understands that Britain still has heavyweight hitters like da Kode. 'Den of Drumz' is just a pulsing, fast paced slab of cosmic genius really. A real head soothing roller of a tune with a snaky Arabian feel creeping in from time to time. It's all over before you have a chance to understand how understated & gorgeous it is! One to set the dancefloors alight!. This tune is apparently a remix of a tune from the album "Unit Of Resistance" by Badawi, hence the unlikely label for Kode 9 to be popping up on! The flip is by Badawi vs. Juakali, called 'Crows' and has some sinister intoning from an MC style guy over a eerie understated skeletal backing. More a set starter but not without it's merits indeed. A pleasant surprise for these tired ears is this on a Friday (hangover) morn! 12" only & probably quite limited!Taken from the album "Unit Of Resistance" by Raz Mesinai's Badawi ROIR's first ever 12" features legendary Dub alchemist Badawi (aka Raz Mesinai), Hyperdub (Burial) label boss Kode 9 & celebrated dubstep artist
Juakali.
Two extremely hot tracks!!! Re-mastered at 45 RPM for that heavy heavy dub sound- Of special note- Den Of Drumz is featured on Skream's Rinse
FM's 02 Compilation & Crows has been featured on BBC Radio1's Mary Anne Hobbs show- w/ Juakali voicing the track live in studio.
