Nuthin But A G Thang

Fresh from our brothers at Unit 137 (home to the fantastic Onlyjoe) is this tasty little 'redub' of the classic Dr Dre & Snoop "Nuthin But A G Thang". Sleepy Time Ghost has taken the original Leon Haywood sample ("I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You" if you didn't know!) and given it a rub a dub swing. Perfect BBQ music! You can grab it for free from their Bandcamp

Mad Over We

Hot City's DJ Haus recently dropped a wicked remix of without-a-doubt this years hottest hip hop tune from Nas - "The Don". I've since re-edited it slightly, added more of the original version in the breakdown and stuck a load of sirens on top - seems to do the trick! You can download it directly from my soundcloud page here or below. I've also recently enabled more downloads on a lot of my older stuff on soundcloud so have a dig around!

Cover Drive refixes

I was asked recently to put together a mixtape for an up-and-coming Bajan pop group called Cover Drive, featuring mash-ups of their forthcoming singles and some of their favourite tunes. The mixtape never actually saw the light of day, but they very soon after hit the number one spot with "Twilight". The label have now given me the green light to post these up as seperate tracks, so here they are. Blatantly big pop songs given a touch of dancehall cool with some classic riddims.
