There is a bit of a story behind this track. Some years ago while at Outlook festival I was hanging out with DJ’s Rahmanee and Fiip Motovunski, a deadly drum n bass duo.
Rahmanee mentioned a certain track, wandering where does the vocal sample come from?
I was thinking for mice elf, this soundbwoy don’t know his 45 from his duplate, at first, but later realized there is something to it. Aforementioned sample probably came from live concert or a soundsystem show tape.
Which bring us to this track: Kahn – Dread. This track got reworked by Gorgon Sound, bridging the gap between dubstep and dub. Both tracks begin with eerie sample from Ranking Toyan – Dread.
It must be a soundsystem show tape, and indeed we can find a clip of it on YouTube named “Toyan Live ’84 @ Volcano Posse Skateland”.
Keeping the original riddim and BPM, Jah Billah builds a track using entire YT sample.
Mastering by Ras Bruno.
