Albums such as "Midnight Walkers" and "A Matter of Scale" have solidified their place in the modern dub landscape, and tracks like "Sur la plage" and "Midnight Rock" demonstrate their versatility, seamlessly blending laid-back grooves with thought-provoking lyrics. Their latest offerings such as "Same Justice & Working Man (Discomix)," "Working Man," and "Same Justice" continue to reflect social and political commentary, packaged within the irie and heavy bass lines that have come to define their singular style.
