Cut and snipped Grime vocal a la Max Headroom, ‘Skank’ is a simple fairground organ melody that drills into the brain like a worm through the sweetest of apples. It also sports a well-done on both sides, tough stripped down, rolling garridge bassline that surges and drops like the best Australian waves. It has you skanking away to a slowed down and speeded up breakdown. Then you’re skan-skan-skanking away again until the end. Supported by the crème de la crème of A-list djs from Pete Tong to Crookers and from Mistajam to Martin Garrix it has big tune running through it like a stick of sparking dynamite. So either dance and join the party or stand well back. It’s your choice.
