Tapes and DJ Sotofett unite on Sex Tags Amfibia with Topp Tonn — two sides of electronic-infused reggae and dancehall that bring together the duo's shared love of bass-heavy rhythms and dub culture into a focused and entirely characterful ten-inch. The original and its version, two sides of the same coin approached from slightly different angles.
Topp Tonn opens with the kind of electronic-inflected dancehall energy that only comes from producers who genuinely understand the tradition they are working within — riddim and rhythm locked in tight, the electronic elements sitting naturally within the reggae framework rather than imposed upon it. The Version strips things back and lets the dub space breathe, the bass and the echo doing the talking. Characterful, bass-heavy and built with care.
