Pressure Drop - Sounds Of Time (1992 - 2003)
Tuesday Apr 14, 2020
Tuesday Apr 14, 2020
One of the projects, that can never fail: Pressure Drop (aka the Blood Brothers: Justin Langlands and Dave Henley). Named after a Toots song, playing music influenced by such genres like Hip-Hop (Funkee Joint), Dancehall (Warrior Sound), Soul (Groove Me), Drum & Bass (Silently Bad Minded (Roni Size Radio Edit)), Dub (Metamorph (Pressure Drop Mix)), 2Step (Warrior Sound (Ed Case & Carl H Remix))and everything in between. They did DJ sets, did remixes for other artists and were remixed themselves, their tunes work on headphones or livingroom stereo equipments as well as on radioshows or sound systems. Always serious, sometimes a little bit dark and melancholic, everytime very intelligent, groovy music.
Pressure Drop present almost every style of London based black club music in the 1990s, last but not least showcased on their "London Underground" compilations (the Raw Stylus version of Bill Withers´"Use me" is one of my alltime favourite tracks).

Two tracks lead the way to this mix tape: the Dubtechno sound of Babe Roots and the Sylvan Morris dub mix of African Star´s "They Just Can't Stop Us".
