Bstrd Boots delivers their fourth 12" of dubby downtempo remixes, this time from Dub Traffik Control. "Searching For Stalag(1)" starts it off emphatically, conglomerating "Searching For Mr. Manuva", the timeless Stalag riddim. and a Gravis roller-bag full of reggae samples. "The Fresh Prince Of Babylon(2)" offers a sharp contrast with a sparse reggae sound that plays off of Byron Lee & The Dragonaires' "Who Dunnit." The first side ends with "Pity The Dub(3)" which places Tanya Stephens' vocals over a tough dubstep beat. The b-side steps into the bathroom for a refresher and comes back rejuvenated with "Bantu(4)," a take on the Ray Barretto track complete with drums laid down by Modest Mouse's Jeremiah Green(!). "Juana Tijuana(5)" is a latin gem re-edit, check the sparkling sounds and awesome enhanced breakbeat (the original is apparently San Diego Latin Jazz Band Agua Dulce). The record ends with a twisted, psyche-version(6) of Seu Jorge's "Rebel." Recommended.
