The 2 Step invasion continues apace with something rather more in the vein of Craig David's silky garage / R&B combo. Dane from Another Level recounts a tale in which All Saint Natalie Appleton is 'buggin' him', leaving pesky answer phone messages. Unfortunately, Nat's label decided that her involvement wasn't appropriate and an actress was drafted in to re-record the messages.

The production is tight and punchy bass stabs, intricate percussion and lush electronic vocals give this surprisingly subtle release the appeal that has proved so compulsive on national radio. The dub provides the extended club pressure that South London demands.
