Project 1 featuring Mad Cooli - Cheeba 95 (I Like To Smoke Marijuana) (Rising High)

The one hundredth single on Rising High and the first essential jungle tune of 1995. Marc Williams takes the track out to an abrasive extreme with a beat that agitates and rolls through 3 new mixes. 'Cally Mix' is a rough work-out with ragga and dubby influences, only slight marred by the soon-to-be jungle cliche of screeching sirens and obligatory Vocoder screams. But this record gets better and better so by the time you've whizzed through the 'Sensi Mix' (more beat and a more fluid female vocal) and 'Bonus Beats Remix' you're there at the Original Cheeba from 1992 which - three years on (imagine!) - is still pretty out there. Out January 23.
