VERSION 015 Loefah - Natural Charge / D1 - Crack Bong (Loefah RMX)
"Absolutely stinkingly large underground classics from the Dubstep originators outta London, circa 2006, now on wax via Berlin’s VERSION –
Big, big, big tunes – Loefah at the controls, with Natural Charge, and his remix of D1’s ‘Crack Bong’.
This one brings memories of those road trips on the natty express up&down the M32 to Brixton’s Mass for the DMZ nights, well over a decade ago, and of those times we’d spend finding the sweetspot where the bass hits your chest best, in dark & dingy clubs around Bristol at that time.
I’m sure many of you will have memories attached to this unique era & sound too.
And if you’re new to this sound… Well, enjoy – it’s a real bit of cultural history now, from a time when music was still nurtured at a slightly slower pace, centred around vinyl, dubplate culture, pirate radio, internet forums, myspace & oversized soundsystems.
Absolutely crucial gear. Be fast if you want one."
