Rougher Than Rough (Bladerunner Remix)/Jackie Mittoo

Another producer proposition who have been churning out classics for eons, enlisting the talents of a surefire champion jump-up producer and veritably crisp vocalist. Darrison has a voice and style that's instantly recognisable and has you wanting to join him in his resounding "We're rougher than rough!" boasts, while the production quality of Bladerunner combines a warmly-toasted drum with an addictive, slightly reversed mid-pitch string-grate bassline that brings worries inna dance. Floor fave.
