Bizzy B AKA Brian Johnson could have already featured on the DnB Advent Calendar a few times with tunes such as '7 Minutes Of Maddness' and '10 Inch Press' but he finally debuts with '16 Track Ting', released on his own Brain Records imprint in 1996 but originally appearing on the Jungle Renegades Vol. 1 compilation the previous year.
The track opens with piano that alternates between forward and reverse before an MC declares "... play a different style, listen, 16 track ting, listen, acapella style, listen". It's a tune that blends the rough with the smooth with a plunging bassline and raw Amen/Think balanced by mellow chimes and sensual "Oh baby" coos. Later on in the track the drums are treated to some nice timestretching. Great stuff from a prolific producer - check his Bandcamp for plenty of archive material and VIPs.
'16 Track Ting' proved to be one of the final Brain Records releases, although the label was revived a decade or so later. Bizzy B turned his attentions to Joker Records which he ran alongside Pugwash, the other half of The Dream Team. Indeed a Dream Team remix appears on the other side of this 12". A bit more recently there was a refix on the Science EP Volume III, one of a few releases from Bizzy B on ยต-Ziq's Planet Mu imprint. You can hear the Dream Team remix in Jumping Jack Frost's set at Pure X's Pre-Christmas Bash from this day 23 years ago.
