Tanya Stephens & King Kong - A Scorchin' Powerlink ...

Watta wicked combination release from Powerlink International, known for their mashups - which to date never really peaked my interest - but hold up... Dis ya one a serious scorcher!

The a side features Tanya Stephens' It's A Pity over what sounds like a re-edited version of the b side of Mike Brooks' Come One Come All (All Around Dub) on the Queen Of The Minstrel Riddim - released in 1979 on the Coptic Lion label. Wicked rub a dub feel to it, and the track flows well - not a jarring mashup at all. Lindo P also used parts of this same riddim version on his song Ain't No check his MySpace for the track.

As if the Tanya track wasn't enough, they load up the b side with another boom shot - King Kong's Foundation Sound vocals remixed over another classic riddim - which eludes me at the moment. Gwaan get yourself a copy, Juno UK, EB Reggae, etc - all got dem in stock - for now... Nice one - Powerlinkin' it fee true Iyah!

Tanya Stephens & Shabba Ranks Set These Streets Ablaze!

Wicked remix from the Russian Federation's Knut Posse - straight outta Viborg- Yah! I came across these guys a couple a years ago when they released an amazing remix of Collie Buddz' Come Around over Ricky and Bunny's Bushweed Corntrash. They have since released two other seven inch singles, including a hottahot version of Richie Spice's Earth A Run Red with Capleton and Bounty Killa, and Sizzla over Alton Ellis' Too Late (To Turn Back Now).

These Streets is their latest remix, featuring Tanya Stephens' These Streets and Shabba Ranks' Original Woman over Dre's Still D.R.E. beat and has yet to be officially released- check their MySpace for more info and other tracks.
