The “Mama Proud” Riddim by Blend Mishkin is a slice of intense Contemporary Dancehall with an underlying dubstep production flavour & more kick than a mule on PCP. A crisp heavyweight riddim loaded with a devastating bassline, spine-snapping snare and intelligent uncluttered instrumentation this release is pure 21st Century dancefloor & soundsystem Fyah. With 5 strong vocals to roll out, Blend Mishkin is pushing the boundaries of what can be expected from European dancehall riddims.

First on the mic is the UK’s Peppery with “Unconditional Love“, A nod to the classic Jamaican dancehall chanting of the 90′s, Letting you know wha a gwan with di gal dem.

Next up is the ever versatile, long time Cast-a-Blast artist BNC, never missing a beat whilst blazing over the track with his trademark swagger and party rocking lyrics on “Dancehall Addict“.

The third vocal on the riddim is provided by Switzerland’s Cookie The Herbalist, leaving you without a doubt that no-one can test this one as it’s going like a runaway train “Straight To The Top“.

Providing a truly worldwide flavour to the EP with yet more fyah coming at you from Canadian Clinton Sly showing his lyrical dexterity as he spits furiously on his cut “Trouble On Di Dance Floor“

Back to Europe for the final voicing from Baba The Fayahstudent telling it straight on “Ready Fi Dis“, Mashin’ up di Dancehall with no love for the wicked in his conscious spiritual lyrics.

A Big release from Blend Mishkin, this will doubtless remain in DJs sets & playlists for years to come.

Cast-a-Blast recordings proudly presents “Outta Here“. Budapest based outfit “MustBeat Crew” handle production duties and a trio of Europe’s finest remixers keep the flavours diverse and complementary, bringing different takes on the main elements while maintaining the flow & feel of the original track.

Keeping the sunshine Funk & Jazz flavour flowing in the first of the remixes is the ever versatile Mr Bird, Who ups the tempo a notch and drops a chunk of laid back Soul infused Latin Breaks that’s carried through with a fresh handclap element and grooving use of the hook.

Next up on remix duties are Vono Box, The Hungarians have produced a carnival vibe on a piece of percussion led Electro-Cumbia which has a glorious rolling drum-loop. With it’s infectious stuttered sample structure and snatches of muted brass, this one takes you full bore into party territory.

Topping off this release are the incomparable Nynfus Corporation, They take you into Glitchy Wobble Breakbeat territory bouncing all the way to the drop with a driving 110bpm dancefloor shaker of a remix that has plenty of swagger and bite.

Title: This is not a Horse / My Gun is Culture
Artist: Jazz K Lipa feat. Soom T, Rude Hi-Fi
Genre: Dubstep/Dancehall/Ghettotech
Digital Release Date: 2012.01.20

Cast-a-Blast Recordings proudly presents the much anticipated addition to the Bonafides Series.

Jazz K. Lipa (from Dresden Germany) on production duties keeps up the quality and diversity with two dancefloor destroying genre defying bass-heavy bombs.

First up is “This Is Not A Horse” a firing dubstep meets dancehall/bashment riddim, Which drops with an infectiously addictive brooding bassline, Partnered perfectly with stabs of dub flavoured keys, subtle hints of carnival percussion and all topped off with Glasgow’s finest Soom T on vocals spitting Pure Fyah, continuously ramping up the pressure with her trademark gusto and letting you know she gives it to you Raw.

This release continues the trend of crossing musical boundaries with the Second track on the EP “My Gun Is Culture“. A slice of badbwoy bassbin murdering, skanking roots with a perfectly delivered touch of bassline wobble. Microphone duties on this cut are covered by the mighty Rude HiFi (Barriobeat) chanting hard on a gunman/sound-clash lyrical tip.

Both tracks on this fully rounded release sit happily alongside the already existing and rapidly expanding catalogue of this acclaimed series.

Full Fat Flavour & Forward to the Future.
