| 'How We Roll' is the brand new release from Bristol's Leisure Allstars, a rip-roaring, funky as hell, bassbin-battering joyride through old school hip-hop to new school beats and tough, reggae bounce, vocalled by New York MCs The Good People. The original is a low-slung, rolling flute-loop groove, featuring live guitar and keys the perfect accompaniment to Emskee and The Saint's tale of how their perfect day in NYC might unfold. In addition to this, the Allstars have remixed their own track, notched up the tempo, and created some kind of electronic boom-bap, bass-heavy monster, demonstrating they can turn their hand to many different styles, much like their DJ sets. Mr Benn's productions have gone from strength to strength over the years, as his recent success in the Ashely Beedle curated, worldwide Horace Andy remix competition rightly proves. This ability, combined with the collaborative inspiration that is Drake Scorpio, is evident on their remix. It's rough an' tough, with enough sub bass to shake the foundations of any self-respecting discotheque. We still don't know who Drake Scorpio is though... |
