‘Afro Punk Reggae Dub’ does exactly what it says on the tin, and more besides. It’s sheer groove is something to behold – driven by a fugged-out bassline that’s very much rooted in dub but combines with the drums to forge a sound that’s easily as disco as anything Larry Levan ever dropped at the Paradise Garage. Chuck in the afro-style percussion and, of course, the steel drums, and you have yourself a genre-vaulting carnival anthem that sounds as fresh and full of life now as it did upon release 29 years ago.

Steel An’ Skin were a band of young nightclub musicians born in Ghana, Nigeria, Trinidad, St Kitts and the UK, who once performed with Ginger Johnson’s Afrika Drummers, a highlife band based in and around Honest Jon’s Ladbroke Grove HQ.
