intro
Enjoyable ragga-influenced hardcore techno on multi-mixed single from Ben and Lex
Ben and Lex obviously learnt their lessons well from Ragga Twins. Mashing up ragga tunes in hardcore mellotron fashion, the alternative versions of 'Ruffnecks' bring down mean punches on the original. The first remix by the Atomic Hooligan does not get in the way but the second remix from Jinx finally puts 'Ruffnecks' in perspective. The original has a hammering tune, but Jinx tears up 'Ruffnecks'. This remix would get my playlist vote. Let Ben and Lex add some spice to your radio. Three versions and either one will do.
