Jubei & Goldie (Om Unit remix)
Jubei's debut album gets revisited with a growling remix
It's been almost three years since Metalheadz producer Jubei released 'The Prayer', a gloomy drum 'n' bass stepper featuring 'headz boss Goldie.
Cold-hearted, mean and loaded with a murderous bassline, it's the type of track we've come to expect from Jubei since it arrived as part of his debut album, 'To Have & Have Not'. With someone of Goldie's stature on it, it wasn't exactly going to be disappointing, was it? This month the album gets refreshed with remixes from Blocks & Escher, Ulterior Motive, Skeptical and Om Unit.
In a career going back to 2001, Jubei, real name Paul Ager, has consistently fired out razor-sharp, industrial d'n'b, hooking up with the likes of Breakage and Sabre along the way. His relationship with Metalheadz started in 2010 with the 'Nothing Ventured Nothing Gained' EP and last year saw him release the nasty-edged 'True Form' EP.
The remix package for 'To Have & Have Not' arrives on July 29 and we've got the exclusive of Om Unit's take on 'The Prayer' for you. It growls and groans and clatters and claps, but it's not totally demonic. Om layers it with a shimmering base coat to ensure it's got that vintage Metalheadz vibe. Top work.
The 'To Have & Have Not' remix EP is out on July 29. Buy it here
