The drum&bass element that predominated in the first Xtra release is represented here in the first track, 'Roast 94' by Inna Riddim head honcho Slice. As the title suggests, the tune is a throwback to the heyday of tech-step: a rollicking bassline rides neck-snapping beats, overseen by judiciously deployed MC samples. It's a midnight kind of tune: the warm-up set is over, and it's time to stop chatting by the bar and get sweaty on the floor.
