Bouyant ragga-rave.

We Say...
The S and L in SL2 were the partnership of DJs Lime and Slipmatt. A big rave DJ, Slipmatt went on to grander fame still in the mid '90s as a linchpin of the happy hardcore scene. A reaction against the tense-and-moody vibe at ragga-jungle events, the happy-core movement attempted to wind back the clock to 1992. Ironic, then, that these 1997 remixes, aimed at the happy scene, revisit a pioneering ragga-rave anthem. Admittedly, the vibe of "On a Ragga Tip" is far from jungle's gangsta-rave glower. SL2 deploy the sing-songy vocal of Jah Screechy's "Walk and Skank," hyper-accelerated breaks and an Italo-house piano vamp to create a vibe of buoyant euphoria rather than growly rude-boy menace. The updates, by happy-core dons Force & Styles and Slipmatt himself, make the tune insanely frenetic and flustered-sounding, so go straight to the untouchable original version.
“ The indie iTunes — Hardcore music fans are migrating to eMusic, the iTunes Music Store's cheaper, cooler cousin.”
