Reggae, Electronic

"Well paced and immaculately produced...from the sweet 'Can't Stop Now', which recalls the rocksteady-indebted, pre-digital sounds of 80s dancehall, to the politically charged 'Anything Goes', steeped in modern ragga...", "A legitimately dope project that captures the rush of dancehall, the chilled-out vibe of rocksteady and the cheeseball charm of dance pop.", 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "Brooklyn's Jah Dan keeps it rootsy. The biggest fun is hearing Diplo and Switch go off the leash mixing surf guitar and horse whinnies...", "The shotgun rhythms, spaghetti western guitars, and dubstep explosions intertwine with lover's rock, roots reggae, and other island styles to impressively evoke the pair's genre-splicing DJ sets."
