They Want Riddim – Dub Inc

A year after Dub Inc had that “They Want” hook floating around in the scene, they pulled it into a proper 2016 riddim package and gave it some serious firepower. The combo cuts do a lot of the talking here: Gentleman and Kabaka Pyramid’s “Face The Storm” has that militant, straight-backed energy, while Luciano linking with Solo Banton on “Highest” feels like two generations locking in over the same groove. Skarra Mucci jumps in alongside Komlan on the title cut, and Lukie D with Anthony B keep things moving on “Come Down. ” The project comes with the instrumental version and a megamix too, which suits a release that’s really about the rhythm itself. Dropping in March 2016, it landed right in that sweet spot when sound system reggae was still pushing hard across Europe and beyond.
