We've been wanting to work with the Mighty South3rn since practically prior to the label's inception, but as it is our policy is not to bite off more than we could chew, we just kept the lips sealed, waiting for the right time and tunes, knowing there was genius down the cronological path a piece. "La Rana" (In the player) is the aesthetic antithesis of the "Mangione Tribe Dub" which instead of the former's groundbreaking tribal affair is an otherwise unpredictable yet catchy number, laden with soulful Tubby-esque horns, very slight Ska rhythm stabs, and a thiick, articulate bassline that weaves the other elements into a bright, energetic work of soundsystem bliss. This release is the next to arrive, and should be returning from Transition any day now, which we imagine, like a mag. glass on a ant may focus too much brilliance on one spot of the earth, so if the world emplodes into a fiery ball of molten between now and it's release, at least you'll know why.
