Aquasky Feat. The Ragga Twins
Give It Up [Old Skool Style]
Passenger

Deman Rocker and Flinty Badman were always the ultimate rabble-rousers at the old warehouse raves, titans of the microphone who took the art of MCing to brain-blowing levels. But basically they were just applying old Jamaican dancehall techniques to the raves and the results were seismic. It’s great to see them still doing it, changing little about their style and now in a position to show how mad things could be in the good old days of glow-sticks and early hours cranium-detonating. Aquasky are sympathetic party partners, whipping up old skool action with hoary riffs, pumping pianos and tough beats. There’s a gamut of mixes with Trevor Loveys also giving it some stick. Nu-rave? This is just incendiary party music.
