Various – Now Thing

Was a bit surprised that this came out of the MO WAX fold..but happy it did !! Many of the best tracks here were actually not issued elsewhere. Highly Recommended!!!

Great comp that used to be running at around $10-20 - instead of shelling out what I see someone trying to sell it for ($120) - you can still find many of these tracks as versions / b-sides to other dancehall 7's

Bought that compilation when it was out and realised that if you listen to dancehall without vocals it turns out that it's much more interesting to people into techno/electronic stuff because you realise how forward thinking and technoid the riddims made in jamaica are and you start wondering how these guys manage to stay on the edge and always one step ahead !
makes you (like me ) start collecting the seveninches just for the hot riddims.
I think that this is an essential compilation for someone who is an electronic/techno beathead to get into the dancehall stuff.
(ask hardwax recordshop in berlin who stock the seveninches just for the riddims)
top !

I bought this compilation thinking that it would be a nice little selection of <b>interesting</b> dancehall beats, useful for djing out with, mixing in with a band etc. It actually turns out that, without the vocals/toasting over the top, the beats alone sound weak and instead of interesting, just plain boring.

Give me a nice heavy dub sound every time!
