Invasion of the Mysteron Killer Sounds Soul Jazz****

Kevin 'The Bug' Martin and Soul Jazz's Stuart Baker know exactly where to go to chronicle digital-dancehall's past, present and future. The Invasion Of the Mysteron Killer Soundscompilation is a heavyweight blast of digital riddims that joins the dots between what originally came booming out of Kingston, and how that sound threaded its ways through hip-hop, electronica, dubstep and other sounds. Both selectors get a disc apiece and there are very few duds in either.

Be it classic rub-a-dubs like Steely and Clevie's Streetsweeper, Lenky's majestic Diwaliand King Tubby's Fat Thing, or hybrids from Harmonic 313, South Rakkas Crew and Diplo, these cuts are fat, hot and hopping. It also comes with a graphic sci-fi novel on digital music in the future from Paolo Parisi. See souljazzrecords.co.uk
