Oh the humanity...

Back in high school, I remember Jesse complaining about what The Specials did to the Toots and the Maytals classic Pressure Drop. That's nothing compared to what this guy does to it, and The Pioneers' classic Kick De Bucket.
From the link: "For the technically interested: all songs were tracked by Dubmood on the Atari 1040 STfm in maxYMizer, made by gwEm, using the YM2149 soundchip. That is, 4bit sound on 3 channels, one squarewave generator and one noisegenerator on a 16bit 8mhz machine with 1mb of RAM and no samples used!"
Jahtari are yet another one of those interesting German labels, who call what they do "digital laptop reggae". Best known for the 2007's astoundingly good Foundation Bit from Disrupt, some of their stuff is a bit hit and miss. I'd say Dubmood's stuff is a bit more miss than hit...
