Tune Of The Week: Camo & Krooked - Can't Get Enough //

Camo & Krooked tear it up on our Tune Of The Week with this disgustingly dirty track off the highest of shelves. 'Can't Get Enough' is a relentless onslaught of drum and bass majesty which bulldozes itself through speakers before smashing the room to pieces. With each drop the crunchiest of synths detunes for your pleasure over the simplest of string licks, whilst some euphoric piano work calls upon the spirits of the early 90's before destroying it in a blaze of glory. Miss this tune at you peril.

Enjoy!

Tune Of The Week: Dead Prez & WTF!? - It's Bigger Than Hip Hop UK

There are some records that define an era: Stevie Wonder’s 'Superstition' for the funky 70s, Michael Jackson’s 'Thriller' for the pumped-up, dog-eat-dog 80s, Dr. Dre’s 'The Chronic' for the weed-filled 90s. Some might argue - with reason - that the soundtrack for the early naughties was the hip hop classic Its Bigger Than Hip Hop by Dead Prez. It was loud, in-your-face, black punk that shook both the dancefloors and our preconceptions of hip hop’s social nihilism at a time when Eminem was rapping about a suicidal stalker called Stan.

It is therefore of no surprise to me to find that ten years after its original release, someone has tried to resurrect this timeless classic for the modern era. WTF?! (drum and bass duo Adam F and Fresh) have attempted such a feat, turning the track into a dubstep anthem. The result is a skewered mix of original vocals, wonky bass and smash-and-grab drums that have left many fans polarized.

WTF?! haven’t reinvented the wheel, they’ve simply taken the best bits from an unbeatable track and beefed them up for a newer, younger crowd. But who cares when the beats are this heavy?

Enjoy!
