About this item

Originally out as a free Net-7inch on Jahtari in 2008 to pay respects at the shrine of arcade machine fighting games, these undying hip-hop-infused martial arts dubs by Disrupt are finally reaching their intended destination: white blood-splattered 7inch vinyl (attention: not actual blood!).

"Samurai Showdown" (which eventually became Solo Banton's classic "Kung Fu Master", from his "Music Addict EP" in 2010) is taking place at sunrise, of course, when two master swordsmen are matching blades in a battle to the death. Can the wave-cutting technique of the Jahtari-school prevail?

The B-side is the meditation after the battle, mentally re-creating the epic struggle move by move and in slow motion...So draw your Katana and prepare for beats as sharp as a battle sword, deadly moves of Ninja swiftness and basslines coming straight from the six paths of hell.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Jahtari been in this shit for 21 years! Such an iconic label. 8-bit digi-dub! Roster all star Disrupt switches on the arcade beat 'em ups of the late 90s for a double edged, 8-bit battle weapon. En guard!
