Ragga Twins are once again steering the jungle/dub ship with new single ‘Bad Man’“Always striving to keep their sound fresh, Ragga Twins remain major players in the evolution of jungle.”As a follow up to their powerful energy boost ‘Vigilante’, jungle duo Ragga Twins from Hackney are finally back with their new single ‘Bad Man’ and its exhilarating and trippy remix by the master of hardcore electro production, Skrillex. With their work previously described as a “magnetizing sound experience” by music blog Music Talkers the two brothers Deman Rocker and Flinty Badman bring over 20 years of experience to the table. While their musical influences range from Prodigy to Shabba Ranks and James Brown, whom they had the pleasure of supporting on stage in the past, Ragga Twins are the quintessential prototype of the thrilling splash of madness that is jungle music. Their new release ‘Bad Man’ is an electrifying track that, just like the previous single ‘Vigilante’, hits you like a mind blowing explosion of sound system enlightenment. Staying slightly more in line with their reggae roots, this invigorating tune keeps a steady balance between dancehall ecstasy and chilled out vibes.
