Listen up - this record contains some of the deadliest digital reggae rhythms and crushing production styles you'll ever hear, full stop! BASIC CHANNEL's flawless BASIC REPLAY imprint deliver what must surely count as their juiciest release to date. Born in 1970, in Montego Bay, Jamaica, ALLAN CRICHTON aka WHITE MICE is a graduate of three sound systems - SUGAR MINOTT's YOUTHMAN PROMOTION, JAMMY's HI POWER, and his hometown TICKA MUZIK. His first break came at SUN SPLASH in 1985, when he and LITTLE KIRK were called on stage to perform with TENOR SAW. Recording at KING JAMMY's and CHANNEL ONE studios, with JUNIOR DELGADO at the controls, over next the few years Mice let off a series of records amongst the very deadliest of digital reggae - nearly all on his brother BLEMO's INTELITEC IMPRINT, out of Miami (exceptionally, 'Youths Of Today' came first on INCREDIBLE MUSIC, 'Tallawah' on the BUFFALO label). Look to White Mice for the true heavyweight music of the mid to late eighties - the reggae riddims you'd hear in the dances before the electro and early house music of the day, but could never locate for love or money. These tunes are so evocative of this period from which they date - elements of weighty oldschool electro and the enticing innocence of early hip-hop spring to mind. Honestly - if you're into anything from Dancehall through to Dubstep, Reggae through to electro - give this a listen and crush yourself silly. Essential Purchase.
