Released as MTRVPR003, this second sampler pairs the anthemic \u003cem\u003eKnite Riderz\u003c\/em\u003e with the deeper, rolling \u003cem\u003eThe Edge\u003c\/em\u003e, capturing the duo's ability to balance dancefloor impact with sophisticated drum \u0026amp; bass production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003eThe A-side, ** \u003cem\u003eKnite Riderz\u003c\/em\u003e **, features the distinctive vocals of MC Spyda, best known for his work on Congo Natty's jungle anthem \u003cem\u003eTarantula\u003c\/em\u003e. Built around a driving rhythm, heavyweight bass and an instantly memorable vocal hook, the track was designed for maximum dancefloor impact.
