Madcap & Jaybee – Settle Down – Madcap and Jaybee team up to create the musical masterpiece called, “Settle Down”. The song starts out rather jazzy, with it’s smooth rhodes keys and heavy cymbal riding drum lines. When the song hits the breakdown, the whole tone of the tune changes. The punchy sub bassline is unleashed and becomes one of the driving forces of the track. Echoing reggae style vocals are beautifully weaved into the background of the track, transforming the vibe into a reggae/dub style D&B classic. The Amen drums also help to create an intoxicating energy that make this one a sure thing for dance floor mayhem. Instant classic!
Madcap – Hear Comes – “Hear Comes” takes over where “Settle Down” left off. The song begins with big amen drums, backed with a Reggae style skanking guitar chop. During the breakdown, a thoughtful Roots Reggae vocal sample is introduced that helps lift the track into a true Dubwise gem. When the drop hits, the baseline kicks in and begins to wobble and throb behind all the deep atmospherics. The track has a beautiful breakdown, which takes the listener to a more melodic place. After a moment of serenity, the song breaks back into the chaotic old school flavor, which Madcap does so well. This one’s a beauty!!
