| This one sold out so fast when we announced it in stock last week that a full release is now in production, pressed on purple vinyl and with complete label information. If you've still got any of the white label version, lucky you ? it's already a collector's item. If you've sold out or missed out, get your repress order in now. First brought to light by the SB.TV F64 freestyles, the ubiquitous 'Wooo Riddim' was arguably one of the most exposed grime tracks of the past year, exceeding the 18-year old producer S-X's expectations by a long mile, and now sees a vinyl release as the second plate on the Butterz White Label series. The track has already been vocalled by D Double E, Footsie, P. Money, Chipmunk, JME and Jammer, and has continued to stir up debate as to who has made the best version. Taking its influence from dirty south hip hop, 'Wooo Riddim' leans on a stern 808 drum-roll and is accompanied by hypnotic synth-lines that compliment the laid back feeling of the track, which has been supported heavily by the likes of Mistajam, Kode 9, and Benji B, and will also feature on Ramadanman's FabricLive56 mix CD later this year. BBC 1Xtra's DJ Q is on remix duty on the flipside, delivering a somewhat dramatic interpretation with some woozy synths, maintaining the energy of the original and adding an extra dash of sub-bass to finish it off. Mainly known for his exploits in the UK bassline scene, DJ Q shows his versatility here in working over a grime track, so be sure to keep your ears tuned for more of his productions on the weekly Butterz Rinse FM show. |
