Obsqure & Suz - Land Of The Free - PREMIERE

In Hour 1 as part of our 30th anniversary week, we welcome Kevin Martin aka The Bug, who first appeared on Solid Steel in 1998 as part of ICE and you can hear this archive mix at SolidSteel.net . He told us;
"Having been a dub nerd for so many years, my opinion of post ’Sleng Teng’ cyber-reggae was foolishly blinkered in the mid 90’s, but when i heard the ‘Streetsweeper Riddim’ by Steely & Clevie  = game over… My opinion of Bashment/Ragga/Dancehall was immediately reversed upon contact with that one sick riddim series, as Burro Banton fiercely chanted “Boom Wha Dis” mercilessly, or Capleton caught fire on ‘Final Assassin’..
At that time, as a resident of North West London, resistance was futile, and i was fully hooked on trips to Dub Vendor or various hole in the wall black wax emporiums in the Harlesden area, as i became uncontrollably addicted to buying waves of 7” riddims that were dropping relentlessly from Jamaica.
This mix is my tip of the hat to the incredible producers that emerged from Ja’s Dancehall scene…Ppl like Dave Kelly, Steely & Clevie, Lenky etc were sonic futurists to me, and their alien arrangements  indelibly marked my ears and my own style of production, and still to this day…Their bionic bogle fuel, some of which is included here, sounds as fresh to me now as it did upon release….
But also, it’s been my aim for years, since naming myself The Bug and devoting myself to sound system culture, to try and develop my own mutant dancehall vocabulary. A quest, that begun with my Razor X label and album ‘Pressure’, via my ACID RAGGA releases, and still shows no sign of halting, as i chase the holy grail of constructing a new style of raggamuffin Sci-Fi. Ive included prototypes and demos of what will form future Bug releases here, as a sketchbook for listeners and myself, and a clear sign of intent, and to show how much i still worship Jamaica’s incredible musical innovations.
I wanted this tribute to Jamaica’s electronic legacy, to reflect a past, present and future of bashment mutations. And right now, with so many great producers like Equiknoxx, Epic B, Stereotyp, Mr. Mitch, Low Jack, Errorsmith, Still  etc etc all fighting the fight for future shock dancehall, it seemed the right time to put together a mix like this one…And as i used to regularly tune into Coldcut’s tripped out SOLID STEEL radio transmissions many many moons ago, its a pleasure to deliver my first mix for Solid Steel since the mixes me and JK Flesh delivered as ICE in the late nineties. Solid Steel has always encouraged freedom of movement and surprises in their choices, and i wanted to ensure i did something special to celebrate the diversity of the show down the years"

A beatet mar marcius legelejen elkezdtem faragni, amikor is meglatogatott egyik kedves New York-i baratom aki szinten zenel. Ekkor kezdodott egyre komolyabb lenni a virus helyzet es jott a karanten. Na ugye ennek kovetkezteben baratom nalam ragadt, hiszen se ki se be nem lehetett menni. Azt tudni kell mindkettonkrol, hogy  Telep-Kozpont kombinaciot nyomunk szinte nap mint nap. Na hat ugye ez most nem annyira mukodott, illetve a bezartsag is kezdett egyre inkabb nyomasztova valni. A zene mindenre gyogyir igy a karanten talan "masfeledik" honapjaban jott letre a szoveg illetve a alapot is tovabb tekergettuk. A szoveget illetve a beatet is a nyar es annak minden szepsege inspiralta. A bezartsagnak miatt jottek ezek az abrandok is, hogy hiaba se munka se penz semmi nem erdekel minket csak ujra a szabadsag es az egyuttlet. Igy szuletett meg a We Dreaming. A karanteni almodozasbol.

Hansrozborn neven jelntettem mar meg sajat magam altal egy ket szamot. A regieket inkabb mar eltuntetnem, de marad hiszen egy jo alapot szolgal annak, hogy honnan is indultam es hova jutok/ juthatok.
