On an International Clash Day tip, it’s a perfect spiritual descendant of what The Clash were reaching for when they folded roots‑reggae and anti‑authoritarian politics together—only here it’s coming right from the Marley line, explicitly sampling and re‑voicing the same roots language about Babylon, solidarity, and dancing your way toward liberation.", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3613819, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3613819/?format=api", "airdate": "2026-02-06T05:23:52-08:00", "show": 65852, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65852/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Step It Up (Dan Donovan for Don Letts dub Cartel)", "track_id": "4fdf73f8-6737-345d-8b61-3d38ffda13d9", "recording_id": "129ce2d3-0e62-4a28-85a5-96121f9ab7b1", "artist": "Scientist", "artist_ids": [ "90d63976-5e70-4c73-a500-eb67997d6ed2" ], "album": "Dub Selector 2", "release_id": "101dee2a-50a0-4e1d-8839-bd2e061dcbbd", "release_group_id": "6e7405ab-3a36-30ff-ad73-36a6fe3e4f9d", "labels": [ "Quango Records" ], "label_ids": [ "9a476be7-544a-4330-b459-7ef7b2542fdd" ], "release_date": "2002-11-01", "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "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.
