BareBones, unfortunately HHB is PARTICULARLY bad when it comes to playing about a million dubs and being indifferent to the prospect of ever releasing them. Really you gotta listen to his radio shows or sets by him and Dubplate Wonder (ocassionally billed as the duo "d&b" - which is a bit confusing I reckon...).
That said, his style is very different to "Reign" or "Sirens" mostly - more on an ultra polite, ultra crisp percussive vocal house tip. I talk about this a bit in my blog post on Dubplate Wonder.
I have a radio set from... about April I think? And I think I have one from later or maybe I only heard it somehow. The earlier one I can upload at some point. It's not as good as his sets with DW from the end of 2008 though.
With Sticky you want:
- Jumeirah Riddim (you can buy "Look Pon Mi" with Natalie Storm off junodownload)
- Fugitive Riddim (Lady Chann's "Your Eye Too Fast" and Maxwell D's "Text Text Text" are easy to find for free
- "Jack It Up" by... I forget now
- Ms Dynamite's "Bad Gyal" - I assume this was at least released as an MP3 or vinyl?
Ill Blu has too many amazing tunes to mention but my favourites are:
Shystie - Pull It (Ill Blu Remix) - available on ukfunky.com
Ill Blu - Time To Get Nasty - as above
321 - Bring It Back (Ill Blu Remix) - junodownload.com
Ms Nyah - Hooligans - not sure, supposed to be on an EP by her
Ill Blu - Blu Magic - avail on junodownload.com with Marcus Nasty dubplate tags at the beginning
in 2009 Lil Silva's done:
- Tribal Land - AMAZING tune, actually emerged late 2008 I think
- I'm The Man
- about ten more whose names I don't know
D-Malice's tunes I can't remember the name of off the top of my head but will double check at home.
