The Message Is Love (above) is SUCH a choon: only the UK could come correct with a tear out rave-grime-soca banger. I can't believe this track isn't more well known. Now the ever on point dancehall dons The Heatwave have come up with a low-slung bashment remix , which should rightly keep this momentous UK track bubbling.

Gabriel Heatwave's also put together this fiery mix for hipster mag XLR8R, highlighting the crossover between UK funky and Jamaican bashment, where you'll find British MCs spitting with a patois flow over funky house and Jamaican MCs doing their thing over UK funky.
