ok cool thats kinda what i guessed. this whole thing of 'splicing' specials seems to be a major issue at the moment (at least in the forum world and on myspace), its kind of the dancehall equivalent of people calling out VDJ mixes or playing bootlegs and loops on grime forums (well, grimeforum)
which is interesting imo
that's interesting, i was thinking only the other day that i haven't heard anyone complain about splicing for ages... when i first started reading dhr years ago it was all over the place and was a big issue as a lot of european sounds were getting dubs cut in jamaica which were spliced. i assumed things had gone quiet as i haven't come across those discussions for a while, but maybe i'm just reading dhr less - actually, they split the board a few years back and i stopped reading all the soundclash side of things, so maybe it's that.
incidentally, i heard marcus nasty play a special of shystie's bad gal bass/pull it (the ill blu remix) which was an obvious splice - as in, shystie hadn't rerecorded the whole song, just inserted 'marcus nasty pull it' at the key moment, leaving her original vocal intact. at least, that's what it sounds like. and i saw that maxwell ranger plans to do 400 specials of new brand dance this week, which made me think that maybe he does the same - records a vocal, leaves some key gaps, then plugs them for each special that he does...
