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...
