Cut La Vis covers Erroll Dunkley’s reggae classic Little Way Different on the latest Irish Moss drop and like all good covers he changes it a bit because – well – every man do his thing a little way different right? Out goes Dunkley’s skipping reggae drums and any sense of the track being a stoned late night swayer and in comes a punchy 88 bpm break and rapper Mystro with a rhyme

CUT LA VIS feat. MYSTRO & MR MELODY: Little Way Different (2013)
GARDNA feat. PARLY B (prod. DR MEAKER): Big Bad Sound (2013) + video
The latest release on Dirty Dubsters‘ Irish Moss label is the big bad sound of southwestern bass-city, Bristol, UK, teaming up with…er – Doncaster. While Bristol has a globally recognised association with bass music, Doncaster has brought the world a bit of horse-racing and Jeremy fucking Clarkson. Not that Bristol MC Gardna is holding that against Donny MC Parly B – clearly, since he invited him

DIRTY DUBSTERS feat. BASS NACHO & BLACKOUT JA: Real Bad Boys (2013)
Bad boys, bad boys, whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do when they come for you? – asked Inner Circle back in ’87. It’s been a long time coming but the answer is obviously to rework the track in a digi-dancehall, nasty-ass bass stylee, call it Real Bad Boys and send it out the front to deal with ‘them’ while you scarper out the back. Which is basically what Dirty Dubsters have done – as well as

SISTA QUANNA: Ital (2013)
Dirty Dubsters have joined forces with Jamaican I&I Productions to create new roots reggae label AYA Productions and their first release is Sista Quanna‘s Ital – a sweet rootsy celebration of rasta food. And I’m not talking Reggae Reggae Sauce – though as far as I can make out that does avoid artificial additives. Sista Quanna specifically “nah wan” Babylon food like, “nah KFC, nah Burger

Wise in no-compromise low end production theory, specialise in hip-hop reggae and you like Danny Red as well as having a blaze? You’re the Dirty Dubsters. And you’ve just released your

DIRTY DUBSTERS: ‘Fire It Up’ album (2013)
Please don’t adjust your seismographs – all that intense activity is just the Dirty Dubsters‘ debut album. Fire It Up finds the boys who put the ‘dub’ into Dublin lighting up the bottom end bong to finally make (split infinitive intentional) their first full-length journey into outer bass. Production crew are the Dubsters themselves of course while vocal crew are guests: Mystro, Leiko Tola, YT, Clinton

BLUNTSKULL feat. BLACKOUT JA: Bus It In 2 (2012)
In which Bluntskull drops some heavyweight dancehall action. In order to properly facilitate maximum bass vibes on Bus It In 2 he enlists the help of Bristolian dancehall vocalist Blackout JA. Blackout obliges with a vocal that sounds like half a ton of gravel sliding off the back of a tip-up truck and which, for all I know, is an extended and well-deserved tirade against Bristol’s notoriously overpriced and unreliable public transport network

DIRTY DUBSTERS feat. MYSTRO: Fire It Up (2012) Video
In Fire It Up Mystro (that’s ‘maestro’ not ‘mist-ro’) a.k.a. Mysdiggi (doesn’t rhyme with Miss Piggy) proposes a radical solution to violence on broken Britain’s streets. Legalise weed! Yep – let everyone smoke a bit of green. Even the pigs. Chilled vibes all round, and giggly queues for munchies at your local community-business-undermining Tesco which would give a much needed boost to a tanking

DIRTY DUBSTERS feat. TOP CAT: Girls Pon Mi Mind (2012) + video
Rating: 
Dirty Dubsters deliver another booty-grinding slice of dancehall action with Girls Pon Mi Mind which skanks along at 95 bpm and is dripping with vintage reggae horns and the lusty vocal stylings of Top Cat. When I say ‘Top Cat’ I don’t, of course, mean a yellow cartoon feline but the legendary UK MC who, one has to assume, neither

DIRTY DUBSTERS feat. AFU RA: Real Shit (Dirty Dubplate Vol. 3) (2012)
Rating:
In which the prolific Dirty Dubsters drop yet another monstrous reggae/ hip-hop hybrid by working their bass magic on the evergreen Stalag Riddim, inviting DJ Mek to pull out his best cuts and getting Gang Starr/ Jeru Tha Damaja homie Afu Ra to spit some ‘real shit’ on top. Which he does. Then, over on the flip, Pimpsoul gives it
