What do you get when one of the UK’s premier grime crews gets together with the one of the most exciting collectives to have emerged out of Manchester in recent times? Primed and shined, proper heavyweight dance floor material, that’s what. In a tune that harks back to the golden age of rave, long time veterans Virus Syndicate have joined forces with North Base to create one the dirtiest pieces of UK bass heard this year. Ladies & gents, it’s time to go ‘Home’! All killer, no filler here as the original mix of ‘Home’ takes us back full of old-skool flex and a whimsical vibe as the Virus MC’s drop their trademark crystal rhymes, full of clarity and energy over a sparse but sick North Base dubstep break while classic rave stabs drop in on top. Wait for the amens and it’s all over. Smile-inducing, retro bass for 2012. Things shift up a gear for the jungle techno remix that sees the breaks turbo-charged and the introduction of a stabbing riff that rides over the crashing tearout drums, while the gnarly b-line snakes its way under the slick vocal delivery from the Virus Syndicate boys. This one smashes it pure and simple, one for the ravers! An essential release on the burgeoning Case Load imprint. Go get.
