dub pistols - world gone crazy (mj cole mix re-rubb)

when i first heard this i was on a mj cole remix kick and i didn't know "world gone crazy" but i loved the remix. as i heard the original a little while after i did like it alot with it's nice lazy reggae groove and horace andy on a lower tempo. the riddim itself is spun of scientist's production for sammy dread's "follow fashion".  mj cole didn't really do anything drastic but a slight regroove on double the tempo of the original but it works immensly.

the dub pistols' do it themselves on as a specific radio version but they sort of fail as the groove doesn't completely work. the funny thing is that their special dance mix done as dogtown clash is proper though and i wonder why they even did that radio mix. most of the versions of the song actually put the reggae elements in focus in one way or another except west london deep whose acidy progressive house number just uses the vocals.

one of the elements that make mj cole's remix stand out the most is that his bassline & subbass is the heaviest and i think you maybe can fit this with some dubstep. his other strong point has always been the drums as burial points out in the first known interview with that anorak. even though they are a bit hidden in the mix for this as the bass and vocals take most of the space but they are really punchy.
