v/a – Amharic (Greensleeves Riddim #46) Obviously this has been out for approximately a million years on JA pre 7″ and indeed for 6 months in this form. It ain’t my fault people kept on getting the copy out of the library, ok? But it’s great – a rare beast of a one-riddim LP you …
Blacka T “Run Come Ya” (Rockers) “But some deejay a mash up Jamaica Dem a talk ’bout slackness Dats outta order Anything me chat a roots and culcha…” Blacker T, self styled lyrics ambassador, lives up to his title chanting his verse in vigorous style over a suitably insistent digital rhythm.

Business as usual for the first 10 seconds – Hrvatski’s tearing amens, noise, adrenaline… but what’s this?
