Bigga Bush - Melody & Electronics EP (Jahmoni Music) 12inch
90年代初頭から活動するクロスオーヴァー・ダブの雄Rockers Hi-Fiのメンバーで、個人的に思い入れが深いLightning Head名義も人気が高ったBigga Bushの久しぶりな新作。一曲目は何とBlast Head「Mangrove Monkey」の未発表リミックス。ダブステップ的な要素強めですが、昔から電子音楽やラテン、ファンクなどを取り入れてきたクロスオーバー感覚は健在。異色なドープ4/4「Footsie Index」も面白く（自身の
MIXではAsusuに繋いでいます。）、そしてこれがVenderstrooikをリリースしたJahmoni Musicがリリースしたというのもかなり興味深い。
"Glyn "Bigga" Bush began his production career with Rockers Hi Fi in the early 90s, co-writing several studio albums, a host of remixes and the infamous DJ Kicks - The Black Album. In 2000 he went solo as both BiggaBush and Lightning Head, making albums for Sonar Kollektiv and Stereo Deluxe as well as many more remixes. His sound reflects his love of dub reggae, analogue synthesisers and intricate rhythms, with influences of samba, afrobeat, the deep dubscapes of Rhythm & Sound and most recently the more interesting end of 140bpm bass music. This EP is his first vinyl release since the late 00s and takes in a number of bass-heavy rumblers with classic BiggaBush twists and turns, starting with the steppas delight of Mangrove Monkey, relentless subs and skanks of Sounds & Blues, post-dubstep breaks on Dash Way Com and finishing with a minimal 4/4 FX soundscape on Footsie Index.
