Pan Cosefo AKA Spoonface - Jooker

The a-side of this drastically infectious 12" is produced and rhymed in a scattershot ragga-grime style by Spoonface, under his new Pan Cosefo guise. The heavy bass line is chopped and sparing; electronic mutterings and tweaks underscoring the hyperspeed toasting. On remix duties, breakbeat don Zed Bias provides a moody, slowed-down dub with a spiralling keyboard riff, old-skool drums and samples of the vocal; a heavy bass line winding casually down to sub in the chorus. A slow burner, the remix should satisfy the more open-minded breakbeat dancefloor, while the a-side is a guaranteed soundystem basher, halfway between carnival ragga and heavier dancehall. B-side track PiPiPi is less interesting, an unremarkable ragga number with standardised lyrics about "dem girls". [Omar Kudos]
