Just saw this up for pre-order on Redeye but I've never heard of it...
Does any1 know anything about this?

You think the NYC guys from Dub War are behind this?
I wish I could find some audio on these tunes...

You're right mate. Apparently the Dub War night in Brooklyn is named after this duo. I stand corrected ;) I thought it was the other way around.

FUCK YES.

Benny was actually working with Bill long before there was even Horsepower. They made techno under many monikers (Oglio & Markarian 205 to name a couple) made a quality dub/hip-hop album called South Of The River under the name Bill & Ben and released a bit of jungle under the name Dynamite Man & The Detonator as well as the Dub War stuff. Badman producers, get 2 know!

This is going to be crazy. Still waiting on the Horsepower Lost Tapes and Remix EP that Benny told us to expect this year though!

it's very different. but i like it a lot!

Benny Ill can do no wrong really, can he? You could lock him in a windowless room with a VHS tape, a pair of bongos and a 4-track and he'd still come out with something you couldn't even dream of making.

what can i say? i'm a serious geek for bill & ben / horsepower. never heard a track i didn't like, so i just kept diggin!

shamefully though, i don't have a copy of Murderous Style / Generation, anyone got one they wanna sell for a reasonable price?

Thouroughly loving both the new tracks, lookin forward to the one you're about to upload

can't wait for this too...
sounds very different to what I was expecting (in a good way)
I would never sell my copy of dubwar (all the early tempa releases are probably my most treasured records esp. In Fine Style)
