Ebony Dubsters – Ra (Original Mix / Original Sin Remix)

Ebony Dubsters – Ra (Original Mix / Original Sin Remix)

Ra (Original Mix / Original Sin Remix) is a classic late-2000s drum & bass 12" from "Ebony Dubsters", the production partnership of Shy FX and T Power. Originally released on Digital Soundboy in 2008, this single pairs the original "Ra" with a heavyweight remix by Original Sin, making it a particularly recognisable release from the era's jump-up and bass-driven drum & bass scene.

The Original Mix delivers the distinctive Ebony Dubsters sound, built around rolling drums, heavyweight bass and the instantly recognisable vocal/sample hook. The track became a notable part of the late-2000s drum & bass DJ circuit, with "Ra (Original Sin Remix)" subsequently appearing on Shy FX's Innovation compilation in 2008, helping to expose the remix to a wider audience.

On the AA side, Original Sin gives "Ra" a harder, more aggressive treatment, pushing the tune towards the chunky, energetic jump-up sound associated with the producer's late-2000s productions. The remix was already circulating in DJ sets during 2008 and became one of the better-known versions of the track.

This is the regular 12" pressing, rather than the separate picture-disc edition: the standard release features the Original Sin remix, while the picture disc paired the original mix with a G-Dub remix.

For collectors and DJs interested in Shy FX, T Power, Ebony Dubsters, Original Sin, Digital Soundboy, jump-up drum & bass, jungle and late-2000s D&B, this is a strong snapshot of the bass-heavy club sound of 2008.
