have a look at the on-u sound catalogue. wilmot isnt dancehall by any stretch of the jamaican imagination. everything that weatherall/snapper did was influenced by adrian sherwood.. wilmott at best (dont get me wrong - have the record & spinned in a club 2 weeks ago) is dub. for the real deal on dub try augustus pablo or king tubby. or for a dancehall/idm fusion - that missy elliott 'freakin' isnt too far...
