Duppy Writer

Okay, let’s clarify that ‘new’ a little. What you hold in your hands is in fact largely a series of re-works by a talented producer who, for reasons best known to himself, goes by the moniker Wrongtom. Big Dada first came across Wrongtom a few months before the releaase of Roots Manuva’s album, 'Slime & Reason'. The DJ and producer (whose previous credits includes work for Lynval Golding’s Pama International, Trojan Records and his Staines homeboys Hard Fi) got in touch asking if he could bash out a dub version of the lead single for that campaign, 'Buff Nuff'. As it wasn’t costing and we’re cheap like that we said he could have a go on spec. When we heard the result we immediately commissioned a series of mixes which, turned round in about a fortnight, became the bonus disc for the limited edition version of 'Slime & Reason'. The responses we received were pretty ecstatic so we asked Tom if he would be up for expanding the work into a full album.
