SOUL JAZZ-STEPPAS' DELIGHT /v.a.

If you're going to trust any label to give you th low down on a UK soundystem scene it's probably going to be Soul Jazz innit? Here the good people from the most knowledgable institution in the country compile a forward looking retrospective that fills the gaps between Martin 'Blackdown' Clark's 'Roots of dubstep' comp and their current charge with the Box of Dub series. Complete with the now standard booklet giving an informative and eye opening account for each artist included, this is an indispensible guide for those who've had their interest piqued by the recent storm of press coverage and internet exposure that has pushed the scene into the glaring limelight. The selections here are pretty much impeccable, running from stone cold standards like Kode 9's '9 Samurai', to unreleased gems from Plastician, Joker, and Gatekeeper, and a wealth of recent classics from Shackleton, Martyn, Peverelist, Ikonika and TRG that would cost you 5 times the price of admission alone to pick up individually. With the explosion in club nights and the brace of new producers and sounds to the scene you really can't be avoiding this stuff any more, so get with the programme and turn yer subs up. Massive.
