sista widey - inspecta (jimpster's dancehall remix)

i heard this one first on jimpster's remix lp where i got that for a few others but this became the one of my favourite tracks of it. i don't know much about sista widey other that she is/was a uk dj who put out some records and then faded into obscurity.

this track had a few other remix when i looked at her myspace but i think they were made after this one but that has nothing to do with this. it kicks off with the drumbeat of vanity 6's "nasty girl" and then it plays off as a cross between a jamaican club riddim and the uk bass sound.

it's a fairly straightforward banger and jimpster made this one easy to get into and it fits sista wideys voice and has a really nice bass. i've had fun playing this one in all sorts of sets but mostly the ones where i just pick a tempo (usually in the 115-130 bpm region) and started working everything and anything to it. love it

another piece that is also well recommended is the deekline & ed solo remix of widey & ursula 1000's collaboration "step back". it's more ragga breaks than uk dancehall musics but i think they work in the same box. good music
