Curation Picks: Rider Shafique, Sam Binga - Bamboo (Enei Remix)

Sam Binga and Rider Shafique return to Critical in their usual atypical style, smudging the lines between dancehall, hip-hop and US club music with three vocal-driven sonic killers with two releases of three tracks — original and remixes. If "Bamboo" is pure dancehall, with a stabbing basement rhythm and ridden by a slack set of lyrics from Rider that would do Vybz Kartel proud — but let’s focus on the remix. Enei reworks the track in a dance-floor-friendly style, with a classic '90s drooping bassline and tough two-step drums laying out the framework for Rider’s gruff vocals. One of my favourite tune this summer!
