Mud Up is one of those late-’80s dancehall cuts that still carries a raw little charge, all skittering drums and lean bass under a tune built for the dance. Sonic Sounds Oldies put out this 1987 version, and the link between the producer and Super Cat is the obvious anchor here: Cat’s “Mud Up” is the tune that named the riddim, while Chaka Demus’ “Young Gal Business” pushes it into a sharper, flirtier corner. Higgs and Twins, Little Harry, and the Skengdon All Stars dub cut keep the thing moving, with just enough rough-edge energy to remind you why this rhythm stuck around and got reworked again later. The whole set runs six tracks, which feels about right for something this direct.
