| Dub Pistols once again deliver a fine example of their extensive musical influences with their new single 'Ganja'.
Taken from their 4th album Rum & Coke, the single is helmed by UK hip-hop legend Rodney P, who works his lyrics into an original blend of dub, hip-hop and reggae with a feel-good, laid-back groove. Ganja? They've never touched the stuff!
With the legendary status that Barry, Jason and the boys have built up over the years, remixers were lining up to take this one for a spin, and we're not disappointed. New producer on the scene Toby Toast proves his worth with a beautifully down-tempo electronic re-working, while Hip-hop legend Skitz hardens things up with added vocals from Deadly Hunter. Atomic Hooligan, 2 Bit Thugs and Ben and Lex represent the breaks contingent, delivering some equally leg-wobbling bass lines and beats. As always, the Sunday Best Remix proves a firm DJ favourite with a fresh cosmic disco edge.
With a frenetic winter tour of Australia, Asia and Europe under their belts, the band embark on their Ganja Tour of the UK in March, culminating in a headline show at Londons KOKO. The summer of 2010 is already looking busy with a host of festival dates confirmed and many more to come.
