Featuring the sweet tones of \u003cstrong\u003eNanci Correia\u003c\/strong\u003e, quality reggae stylings from \u003cstrong\u003eYT\u003c\/strong\u003e and hype man duties from \u003cstrong\u003eTafari’s\u003c\/strong\u003e teenage son \u003cstrong\u003eYosief\u003c\/strong\u003e, it’s a superb marriage of junglistic style and fearsome bass which sounds both timeless and utterly contemporary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first remix comes from \u003cstrong\u003eJoker\u003c\/strong\u003e, originally introduced to \u003cstrong\u003eTafari\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003eBuggsy\u003c\/strong\u003e, who has worked with both men. He keeps the reggae feel of the original (how could you get rid of it?!)  but gives the whole thing an irresistible, stoned, purple slide. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.ninjatune.net\/artist\/machinedrum\"\u003eMachinedrum\u003c\/a\u003e is next up. The sometime \u003cstrong\u003eAzealia Banks\u003c\/strong\u003e producer and new Ninja Tune signee is a massive jungle fan and opts to pay respect to the tradition with a very clever re-work of “\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bigdada.com\/release\/congo-natty\/uk-allstars-congo-natty-meets-benny-page-mix\"\u003eUK Allstars\u003c\/a\u003e.” The junglists are fully represented, finally, by mixes from \u003cstrong\u003eBenny Page\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eSerial Killerz\u003c\/strong\u003e, both of whom take the tempo back up to more familiar jungle territory, pile on gigantic b-lines and let the party really start. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWidely acknowledged as “a fearless social commentator and righteous Rastaman… a pioneer” (The Wire), \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bigdada.com\/artist\/congo-natty\"\u003eCongo Natty\u003c\/a\u003e is not a man to sit back and rest on his laurels or succumb to the temptations of the heritage circuit. Jungle is the first truly homegrown British bass music and was never co-opted or commercialized by the mainstream. Now one of its true leaders and heroes returns with the album the form has perhaps always needed. The warrior has come.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ninjatune","offers":[{"title":"12\"","offer_id":44934131417247,"sku":"BD230","price":10.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0493\/8563\/5999\/products\/jah-warriors-2-main.jpg?v=1736247227","url":"https:\/\/merch.ninjatune.net\/products\/bddnl230","provider":"Ninja Tune","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
