Side A is helmed by Portmore-local Bookfa on a tight-pressed riddim by L.A. producer Nice-A-Bunks (aka Peaking Lights). Recorded late-nite in an unfinished house outside of Kingston, comes with a serious bounce. Nice-A-Bunks generously unspools a twelve-minute scramble-dub version, sending the vocals and various percussion into slow, looping orbits around the groove. Psyched roots madness.

Side B is pure youthful fire from Spanishtown and Los Angeles, G Sudden, produced by L.A. resident Genesis Hull (Alex Gray of D/P/I). G Sudden lays proper styles between pop-a-lock claps and clear flame synths. Vocal is all LED-spinners and black-light ground EFX, but even further out is the extremely energetic 12 minute dub which flips into the ultraviolet, stretching the groove along the spectrum from footwork to jungle to some Escalade-rattling place beyond.
