Ravi Shankar's Dub In The Jungle Riddim Mix

Long-form mix by Jethro R. Binks of all the main versions of the riddim that started in 1983 as Dub Syndicate's "Ravi Shankar", main theme to Steve Barker's "On The Wire"; famously re-used as Lee 'Scratch' Perry's "Jungle" for "Time Boom X De Devil Dead" a few years later, through to mid-90s digidub/steppers remixes, and its frequent appearance in the 2000s on other Adrian Sherwood projects
