The other half of Jahtari steps up for the second 10” with a blisteringly authentic digital sound again, pumped out with analog gear. Rootah’s production sounds like a cross between Basic Channel and the most delightfully obscure 80’s dancehall and this is what forms the crux of his sound-his Detroit techno background coupled with his deep understanding of true dub. Rootah has been DJing since the early 90’s and in this time has been perfecting his production with the nicest blend of computah programming and rough overheated analog tubes and delay units.

Get it already and She’s Gone have a slightly darker more melancholy sound like Waterhouse has just turned Firehouse. This makes the two 10” perfectly match in a ying yang sort of way. Rootah’s productions have such a detailed heavy sound they will both destroy a soundsystem and demand a detailed Hi Fi listen. The She’s Gone Dub provides a whole new drum pattern which gives the track a completely different flavor completing the pack.

Mikey Murka, Legendary Unity soundsystem veteran is well and truly Back on the Scene Again. Last year he had a hit tune on Mungo’s Mary Jane Riddim and an album from Reality Shock as well as other projects. His Jahtari E.P. however, is his finest work to date and returns to his Ride pon the Riddim style. Everyone of these tune are killers, no fillers! 2008 is going to be a big year for Mikey and these 10”s are prime example of this mans talent as one of the UK’s finest Singjays. (Scotch Bonnet)
