Dj Vadim, Blu and Slum Village start to get nice and loopy before we pick it up with some heavy hip hop vocals and remixes from Aloe Blacc, Pharoahe Monch, Styles P, Dela and Ghostpoet. DJ Jazzy Jeff gives us a Roller Boogie remix of Mayer, Romanowski, The Root Source and Mo Horizons give up some uptempo samba and funk, before we jazz it out again. SwinG!

We start with some blistering digital beats from the Riddim Tuffa, Jahtari, and Livity camps with Pupjim featuring heavily as he has been releasing so much dope digital dub beats of late. We then drop the smashing ShyFx tune Raver - one of my fav's at the moment followed by a dope steppers remix of Roots Manuva and the new stuff from Trojan Sound System. Roomate drops another dope riddim - Ras Vibes - in very much the same vibe as his last riddim - Mercy. I'm loving the Brookes Brothers sampling Johnny O, before Max Romeo and Little John get reworkings. Jstar gets a few dope tunes in there, Blessing off the dope Dub Zealand compilation he released a few months back and One Life Dub, a Yabby U-esq instrumental that has a few vocal mashups floating around cyber-space.
