prior to hearing this song i knew a little bit about this kind of twisted ragga jungle that more resembles breakcore. i think it's music that is just one big load of fun and my introduction to it was my good friend jan henrik showing some examples but kid606's "slammin ragga bootleg track".
this track starts very hiphop and it doesn't give of any hints of the chaos that will come in. a simple drumloop and key sequence goes on for a while and then some "it's a new drums" comes in along with a one drop and a ragga vocal. then a really hype scream comes in and it's all madness, in the most glorious way.
after a mighty exercise of how to twist a snare like a pretzel another hype sound comes in yelling "fire!", it then goes into a huge chuck of what must be cutty ranks moshing it up on the mic. including is the bassline from slim smith's "i'll never let you go", more known as the "answer" bassline after the lone ranger/studio one's 1977 cut.
you can't go wrong from there and it's gets more frantic and it's just glorious. banging!
