About this item

It was at DMZ that Soulja first heard "Ongie Bongie". Several months later the track becomes the the kick-off riddim for "D1 V3", D1's latest double-pack offering from Tempa. Sounding out the way ahead with the latest sonar technology, "Ongie Bongie" begins at a cautious speed whilst familiarising itself with this new territory and then picks up pace with a funky propulsion that saw it light-up underwater dance, DMZ. Following on from this peak-time dancefloor energy, "Joy" swells progressively, in waves of euphoric chords pieced together with steadily stuttering congas. The second plate is headed by "Cave", a deeply hollowed-out production, heavily sub-led and a current regular in Youngsta sets, whilst anchor track "BG" employs infectious, cascading bass-stabs, which envelop the accompanying trumpet to create the kind of skank out riddim which wouldn't be out of place on a Jammin' era Bingo Beats release.
