Bantum & Loah, 'Take It'

Outside of hearing new Massive Attack tunes earlier this year, I can't think of any other artist I've been happier to hear new material from than Bantum. The Irish DJ/producer released the excellent albumLegion a couple of years ago, and he's back with this new track, “Take It.” It's a collaboration with the exceptional vocalist Loah, and if I could get away with it, I'd play it on my show every day — I may just try!
