The celebrated joiners of dots between hip-hop, soul and dub (see their classic ‘Blunted in the Backroom’ mix from 2005 and the likes of ‘Blood Fire’ and ‘The Lion’s Den’ pushing and shoving their way to the front), The Nextmen tell September to up its game, expertly crafting all the essential elements of dub and reggae for when carnival is next marked on your calendar.

Teaming with Jurassic 5’s Chali 2na, who guested on The Nextmen’s ‘Pound for Pound’ album in duelling with Gentlemen’s Dub Club; Brit reggae legend, the perennial bubbler Tippa Irie; and the decks executive that is Krafty Kuts, ‘Chicken of the Sea’ casts it net across the dance floor. A sure-fire means of getting waistlines wound (“the rhythm makes the women want to contort their bodies”), aided by subtle guitar licks and a sample hooking the crowd like fish to bait, this stepper is made even hotter on the remix with slamming pads. Chali 2na returns for the digi-hip-hop of ‘Combination’: skittering around the ‘floor in a propeller-like motion, smooth baritone taking centre stage as standard (“check the rhyme like a Tip-Phife-and-Jarobi song”), and a sampled hook writing its own headlines.
