## What 4 lists say

### No. 5 in [Dub](https://waxonia.com/genre/dub/)

Channel One's house band, produced by Jo Jo Hookim and circulating first as a dubplate. Rebel MC cut it into a jungle record fifteen years later, and the riddim became a founding sound of British bass music without ever leaving Kingston.

### Picked by [1976](https://waxonia.com/theme/nineteen-seventy-six/)

A Kingston rhythm that would not stay in its decade: sped up and cut into jungle plates twenty years later, which puts it in the same story as several records on our 1994 list. 1976 is where that line starts.

### Picked by [Bass Weight](https://waxonia.com/theme/the-desk-bass-weight/)

A Kingston rhythm that would not stay in its decade. Sped up and cut into jungle plates twenty years later, it is the physical evidence that British bass music imported more than an attitude.

### Picked by [The Waxonia Desk — Ghosts](https://waxonia.com/selection/the-desk-ghosts/)

A Kingston rhythm that reappeared, sped up, in British jungle two decades later. The clearest single piece of evidence for a continuity that is usually asserted rather than shown.
