Get the subs ready up for another relentless bass workout from the gang at Tempa. These guys don't mess around when it comes to the concussion-causing beats and earth-shaking bass and its evident on this double 12". Geeneus' "Congo" sets the whole thing off on that heavy, heavy tip with massive bass and percussion riding a Funky fusion riddim. Dubstep pioneer El B comes next with the straight nasty bass hits of "Amazon," while Kode9 goes in for the kill on "Babylon Dub Mix." More dread bass on the next disc as DMZ go deep on "Give Jah Glory," Loefah murders a soundboy on "Truly Dread" and D1 twists shit proper on "Crack Bong." HEAVY.
