Want to hear a story? In the 1960s French weapons
researcher Vladimir Gavreau developed a huge whistle
capable of emitting deadly infrasonic frequencies.
Plain talk? His sub-bass was murderous, literally.
Think of Ced Gee's 808 bass kicks detuned past Goldie.
Past Jah Shaka, and beyond, into some weaponized zone
well south of King Tubby. Gavreau only jacked it in
when the sound waves nearly ruptured his own vital
organs. Bass, you see, is power.
This, Skitz knows. British hip-hop's premier devotee
of the low end has spent his career proving the saying
who feels it knows it (being an upful kind of guy he
draws the line at actually killing you with bass
though). Still, that bass û rasping, as if telegraphed
in from some cavern at the bottom of the sea - and
those rim-shots have become instantly recognizable ,
making Skitz one of the few British hip-hop producers
who can truly claim to have created his own sound.
From his earth-shattering 1996 debut 'Blessed be the
Manner' (alongside a then-unknown Roots Manuva) to the
Rodney P relaunch 'Dedication', and from the Skeme
powerhouse 'UK Bubblers' to the latter-day strains of
'Go In' (featuring MCD, Million Dan, Dynamite, and
K.ners), Skitz has unleashed more classics than
Penguin. And quite rightly his debut album
'Countryman' (2001) is widely regarded as one of the
greats of British hip-hop.
Skitz has resided at that very British sweet point
between reggae and hip-hop throughout. Not that he's
one for comfort zones. One listen to 'Sticksman'
should make that clear. This is an album that
undercuts huge slabs of bass with ghostly chorals;
that weaves pastoral folk and Celtic melodies into
digitized beds for street-level reportage. On 'Rainy
Day Science' (featuring Taskforce on particularly
haunting form) folk becomes Britain's blues for the
double-time generation.
It also makes good on the promise of earlier
collaborations û such as those with Bristol drum 'n'
bass elite, DJ Die - where the marriage of d'n'b
sonics to hip-hop tempos surely hinted at what was to
become dubstep. For example, the magnificent, Rodney
P-assisted 'Left' flings Frisbees of molten bass at
your solar plexus. And the Harry Shotta section of the
monstrous 'Requiem of the Gods' (also ft. Orifice
Vulgatron, Dynamite MC and Mr. Ti2bs) makes you
suspect you're being hunted down by a particularly
ardent strain of round and deadly Pac Men.
Elsewhere 'Sticksman' finds Skitz back in more roots
radical territory. He drafts lyrical assassin Buggsy
for the Babylon take-out 'Born Inna System'. While the
awesome 'Struggla' ropes hip-hop superstar Kardinal
Offishal into a Nyabinghi-fuelled tag-team with Rodney
P and Skibbadee û a tune that would sound entirely at
home on Jah Shaka's sound system. And then on an
entirely different note, you can find Dynamite hyping
it up on 'Rumble' û a slice of tom-tom thumping club
action that concludes in a satisfying swoosh of avant
garde dub disco.
So what ties all this together you might ask? Well, of
course there's Skitz's taste for great emcees û Deadly
Hunta, L Dot Man, Masta Ace, Iron Braydz, Brotherman,
Darrison, and Wordsworth all also appear. And then, of
course, there's his wonderfully rich aesthetic û
something we're sure you'll like.
Really and truly though? It's the bass. The bass. It's
gotta be the bass. Luckily Skitz chooses to use it in
the service of love not war. And that,as they say, we
can feel.
