About

Kansas City Prophets and T-Polar go back to back on this one: dub, dancehall, electro and broken beats, fused together with lashings of bass…

KCP’s ‘Cams’ kicks off the ‘Defiance EP’ with a stepping riddim, but there’s a wealth of tune in here between the sparse beats, the stabbing hooks, and the bass bubbling underneath.

Reggae legend and dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson’s lyrics give a combo move bonus for every beat they team up with, “chanting blood and fire!”

‘Drome’ features a tough ragga beat at its core, with a maze-like network of twists and turns over the top for MC Soom T to navigate with her peerless style. A !Kaboogie favourite for many years, we’re delighted to welcome her to the extended family.

Bass swoops and some fantastic shuffling rythyms form the basis of T-Polar’s ‘Jangostep’, tricked out to the last with some warped vocal science and textural shifts that switch the intensity every which way for your brain melting pleasure, in a good way.

‘Suburban Roulette’ combines chopped up vocals jamming with some garage beat stylings, while a thick bass line runs tings from the bottom up, perfectly showcasing the Belfast producer’s unique take on quality electronics.
