The Duke winds it up with this sensi-ational collection of dancehall vocals and guitar riffs. Professional rudeboy R$ Smooth also raises a toast by providing 312 rapped and sung vocals. As this is dancehall we’re dealing with, a few of the vocals may be a little risqué for some tastes, but there’s a little something here for everybody! The guitar samples come in two tempos (95 and 122bpm) and feature a variety of keys and rhythms, making a useful selection for a variety of genres.

This month, Robbie from Cyclick has locked himself in the studio with nothing but a novelty rasta hat and a large bag of what we can only assume to be some kind of herbal remedy. The results are ten booming dancehall construction kits that are perfect for unleashing your inner rudeboy. Each kit features a folder of individual drum sounds, so even if you’re not feeling the bashment vibes, you can always get busy by programming up your own riddims instead.

The Groove Criminals were going to get time off for good behaviour this month, but unfortunately they’ve been very bad indeed, and the evidence is all on the cm DVD. As well as bangin’ drum kits and bouncy basslines, the unreformed crims have stolen the show with a massive Battery kit and some authentic dubbed-out FX created with that old favourite, the Roland Space Echo tape delay. Dub-licious!

While dancehall fever has infected the rest of the cm sample jockeys this month, it was unable to breach the man James’ hermetically-sealed studio/laboratory. Instead, our Dick has blessed us with 450 off-the-wall sounds and FX conjured up using modular synth technology, digital editing and a fair amount of elbow grease. But be warned: these sounds contain extreme frequencies, so watch those woofers and tweeters!
