    "comment": "“Step It Up (Dan Donovan for Don Letts Dub Cartel)” is a heavy, spacious remix of Scientist’s “Step It Up,” done by Big Audio Dynamite/Beat mainstay Dan Donovan in collaboration with Don Letts’ Dub Cartel crew for a modern DJ context. \n\nIt keeps Scientist’s cavernous drums and bass at the center but pushes the tune toward the club: longer builds, extra echo‑trails, and a bit more mid‑range presence so it punches on a big system without losing that roots‑dub depth. It's a parallel to what The Clash and Letts did in the late 70s—pulling Jamaican soundsystem culture into punk/post‑punk spaces—only here it’s Letts’ orbit helping carry classic 80s Jamaican dub into 2000s‑and‑beyond dance and bass culture.",
