You’ll remember the Jellybass duo of Lo & Hz (aka DJ Chix and Joe Lambert) meet up at a Mr. Scruff gig and, as they say, just haven’t looked back.

There was the collaboratatoin with Abdominal on ‘Transatlantic’ and now they got MC Brother Culture to join in on the wobbles.

For the MC who started in 1982 for Jah Revelation Muzik sound system, this one’s a bit of a stroll in Mayflower park but he’s not the only addition to the sound. These guys have gone down the dubstep meets Jellybass road.

Pride of place must go to the JazzSteppa (who were incredible in the Dance Tent at Big Chill this year; check out their ‘Big Swing Sound’ 12” on Studio Rockers) along with Borgore (aka Asaf Borger, a producer/DJ/drummer from Tel Aviv and half of Dubstep producer duo Alphamale Primates) with the remix. The track is a game of two halfs; first half feels out the crowd concentration on the vocals element. And then after a short break (not long enough to scoff a segment of orange) breaks down into the basement of post jungle-d’n’b that you need the protection of a bomb shelter for saftey. The ‘live’ band dubstep gig has got to be the next big thing and these guys are nailing it early.

The Caper remix is more of a dubstep-skank which is perfect head-nod but the set finishes with a long long ‘un with the help of the “A-M-A-Z-I-N-G” DJ Love from Dallas. Clocking in a 7 minutes of pure Jellybass richness it’s got that “as low as you can go” feel of, say, a ‘Jamrock’ as done by Coldcut.

They are all good but you think the original version Iis going down the same path but it’s then freshens up the electro skank dub-stylee and stands as my current favourite in a “if you haven’t got love, you ain’t got a thing” type way on a bounce tip; taking the bass to the bin in a jelly wobble mould, mixing bass heavy, dubstep, rockers sound.

This is more than solid and as slips in nicely between Dub Pistols, Mr. Phoe, dubstep or any other bass heavy Warrior sounds. A killer release that should get the Jellybass boys signed up for a load of gigs and summer festivals at least.
