The story behind this album is almost laughably unlikely: club
music producer David Last was on vacation in Australia, putting
some dancehall beats together and looking for a vocalist. A
colleague directed him to Chicago-based dancehall singer Zulu, and
Last sent him a track via e-mail. Zulu voiced it and sent it back.
The result was so good that they made an entire album that way,
which the honchos at Berlin-based label Staubgold subsequently
heard, thus completing a geographically enormous triangle along
which enough data eventually flowed to create this finished
product, a tremendously entertaining fusion of dubstep, reggaeton,
dancehall, electro, and pop that hits a high energy level from the
very beginning and never really flags. The title may be somewhat
ironic: although the impact of this music is pretty massive, its
construction is often quite minimal. Check out the bare-bones
Roland 909 accompaniment to the bouncing "Exhibition Virtue," or
the even more minimalist "Ever Ready." In fact, when the sound
thickens up the impact tends to fade a bit, as on the enjoyable but
somewhat more pedestrian "Necessary Evils." But before you can
register disappointment with those tracks, you'll be lifted out of
your seat again by such top-notch fare as the energetically
chugging "Caresss" or the fun combination track "Put Me on Your
Guest List." If you want a sneak preview of what dancehall reggae
is likely to sound like ten years from now, this may be as good a
guess as any.
