Junglist Sound keeps it bubbling with the fourth release in their reversionist series.
“M16” features Sammy Dread, one of the first British reggae artists to embrace dancehall.
JBostron (Scotland) smashes up the dance with his Drum and Bass remix, while Tricky D (Germany/Croatia) dubs things out with his deep re-versioning of this reggae classic.

Third release from Junglist Sound features Johnny Osbourne re-visiting the title-track from his 1980 album produced by Clement Dodd for Studio One.
BONES & CURFEW drop some dark science on the a-side; stripping things down to a minimal, yet driving drum and bass growler.
Osbourne’s voice hauntingly drifts into the mix over top of their menacing riddim track:
“Tomorrow is promised to no one – Soundboy Run!”
On the flipside, Osbourne’s classic tune gets a “future reggae” update by SEED ORGANIZATION. All the elements of the original, rootsy sound move forward overtop of a modern, riddim-driven skank. A tough, bass-heavy re-version.
