A complete package of hot mixes will be forthcoming on Londons Midnight Riot label. Mixes are by Joey Negro, Deadly Sins and by Yambee themselves.

Originally released in 1994 by The Ballistic Brothers comprising of Ashley Beedle, Rocky & Diesel, Uschi Classen and Dave Hill.
They shared a vision of a hip-hop, house, jazz fusion, reggae, rock, funk and soul that became so influential it inspired the likes of Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Mr. Scruff, Motor City Drum Ensemble, and became one of the biggest anthems for Norman Jay's Good Times.
The Ballistic Brothers are now recognised as a seminal outfit who broke a lot of rules and made some killer music that still gets major props today. Yambee have picked up the baton. The rest is history.[info from pd]
