J:Kenzo X Rider Shafique

A seismic collaboration here between dubstep innovator J:Kenzo and spoken-word powerhouse Rider Shafique, which is also the first-ever joint release from Artikal Music and Lion Charge, two titans of low-end culture. 'Dark & Heavy' is exactly that - a deep, weighty sound system meditation that rumbles with intent. Shafique's voice cuts through Kenzo's precision bass architecture with ritualistic energy so feels ancient and futuristic. On the flip, Sound Control reimagines the original through a UK steppers lens by layering militant rhythm and cavernous dub pressure. A crucial roots-meets-bass odyssey.
