One of my favourite artists, that Meat Beat.

Meat Beat Manifesto - In Dub

Jack Dangers returns with a visit to the dub-space, a palace of infinite echo, rattling snare shots and nicely toasted vocals with the new "In Dub." Featuring the toasting stylings of DJ Collage, the disk is an excellent translation of RUOK's minimalist soundscapes for the ragga set.
Some of the tracks bear a resemblance to their RUOK originals (like "Spinning Round Dub"), but the majority of the disc sounds new, with only a stray bassline or vocal sample to jog the memory. Without a copy of RUOK available, the disc sounds almost entirely new and not like a gentle rehashing of previous material. Whereas Dangers has always recycled beats and bass before (the recycling logo being on the back cover of Satyricon, ahem), in the dub-space, they take on a new life, separate from what-has-come-before.
"Super Soul Dub" benefits from the recycling the most. A familiar sample from the previous album is recontextualized here, added to a dub bassline that shakes the bins in a most righteous manner, and a cut-up toast from the toastmaster, DJ Collage.
There is also a surround-sound version of the album, released as a dvd with visuals from Ben Stokes. Both will be worth picking up.
