{"product_id":"jon-e-cash-sublow-2lp","title":"Jon E Cash - Sublow (2LP)","description":"\u003cp\u003eUndisputed grime heavyweight and sublow architect Jon E Cash is spotlighted on an overdue retrospective hustling rare plates back on vinyl for 1st time in decades - utterly essential tackle for UK ‘nuum fiends on the line from jungle to UKG, grime and dubstep.\n\nA serious VIP for Sneaker Social Club and the grime scene at large, ’SUBLOW’ scrolls back a quarter century to grime’s earliest days - before it even had a name - when artists such as Jon E Cash, Jammer, and Wiley were reshaping prevailing UKG styles and patterns in their own image, coming out with something rudely altered in translation - or by their technical limitations. While the latter melded Jamaican sound system inspirations of dancehall and jungle into their grimy prototypes, Jon E Cash would bring a ruggeder swerve, carried over from his early ‘90s days as part of the pivotal Britcore hip hop sound with Construction, and prevailing traces of later ’90s R\u0026B and D\u0026B, to his take on the 140bpm framework, with the exaggerated bass levels of his productions, and their bashy drums, bestowing the sound its mantle, SUBLOW, and soon recognised as a whole subgenre in its own right. \n\nThese are sacred plates for grime, a key part of its DNA, and Sneaker Social Club are doing the Lord’s work by saving you a month’s rent in Zone 3 if you were to pick them up individually. All from the fascinating interzone 2000-2004, when the sound was shaped as an ecology of pirate radio, white labels, and raves, it’s burstign at the seams with legendary gear from the murky steez of ‘Hoods Up’ thru the NSFW intro of his absolute steamer ‘Kettle’, brukking out the digi-dub style horns on ‘War’ and ‘Battle’, or ramping R\u0026B with speedy G pressure on ‘All About the Sex’, not to mention his Timba-turned-horny Terminator turn ’Spanish Fly (V.I.P.).’ \n\nIf you ask us, it’s one of the hardest reissues\/compilations of 2025, bar none, and a strong example of how much perceptions of grime have changed over the decades, from outlaw genre to something to be fetishised, archived, admired as distinguished cultural artefact, rather than feared and legislated against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 350px; height: 472px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=4253188133\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=333333\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/jonecash.bandcamp.com\/album\/sublow\"\u003eSUBLOW jon e cash\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Sneaker Social Club","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48252127314179,"sku":"SNKRLP015RP","price":6368.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/1694\/1956\/files\/a4026381903_10.jpg?v=1779767765","url":"https:\/\/meditations.jp\/en\/products\/jon-e-cash-sublow-2lp","provider":"Meditations","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
