Sky is the b – side to the Mutha*ucka which was posted up as FTLOJ#13. The track makes extensive use of cool sporadic snare rolls which come in all over the place. I don’t know what any of the breaks used in the drums are. Please do enlighten me if you know.

Mutha*fucka is another release on Philly Blunt Records. This track, from 1995, incorporates Dillinja’s trademark square wave sound which he layers on top of the sub. The b-side to this release is another great track which I’ll post up next week.

Philly Blunt Records release number 2 in 1994 was Warning by Fire Fox (Roni Size) and 4-Tree (no idea). This is the Powder mix. The Yardie vocal sample is from the Shabba Ranks tune, Respect. The Reggae instrumental sample in the break down at 1.43′ is Wayne Smith’s Under Mi Sleng Teng which was also put to good use by Johnny Osbourne in Buddy Bye Bye. With regards to the track posted below, it cracks me up every time I play it out because at 2.54′ the drum breaks slip out of time with each other so it sounds like a bad mix by the DJ. Honestly, check it out, it properly clangs!

Dillinja has more aliases than any other producer I know. The track Gangsta sees him under the name of Trinity and was the third release put out by the Philly Blunt label in 1995. I got this track as a Promo in an odd record shop in Leith, Edinburgh when I was up there last summer for the Festival. It makes extensive use of a Terror Fabulous song by the same name.
