Equiknoxx Music are the production team been behind some of the most progressive dancehall riddims of the last decade, and Spiceโ€™s brilliantly sleazy 2010 hit โ€œJim Screechy.โ€ On their first full-length album, Gavin Blair and Bobby Blackbird took things all of the way left, with an LP full of wacky, off-the-wall instrumentals with track titles like โ€œA Rabbit Spoke To Me When I Woke Upโ€ and โ€œI Really Want To Write On Her Purple Wall.โ€ Itโ€™s not for everybody, in fact itโ€™s probably too weird for most, but Bird Sound Power is one of the most stupefyingly original projects to come out of the dancehall sphere in a long time. โ€”ย Jesse Serwer
