CHEF / CLUEKID Sub Soca / Monkey Style 12"

I could talk about Chef's "Sub Soca" being his first release and all but I just can't help myself flipping over the vinal to Cluekid's "Monkey Style" (subbalicious).
Is that Moving Shadow I hear?? Who said 1995 Drum and Bass? Rumor has it that this kid missed out on the whole drum and bass 'coming of age phenomena' but is taken with it anyway... and lucky for the new generation of urban music listeners, isn't afraid to bring it back.
He is able to weave together a track to cross the borders of jungle and dubstep.... just when you don't know where he's going with his
Amen breaks and old school vocal samples, he drops a rolling bass line, sure to get you nodding your head.
In the tracks we all know and love (think collaboration with Cotti "The Legacy" and with Skream "Sandsnake") Cluekid's syncapated, crisp and snappy drum sounds are unmistakable and this track is no exception... I hear there is more to come!
