The Badman Don Dada Rico Tubbs wants to rock right now, and his Speed Garage re-imagination of Rob Base’s classic ‘It Takes Two’ is pure, unadulterated mayhem. Released via Bass=Win, this is the kind of track that reminds you why Speed Garage was so exciting in the first place.
Rico Tubbs doesn’t hold back here. The production is packed with sirens, horns and warp bass action that hits exactly how it should. What really stands out are the fantastic breakdowns that go full on Rob Base, leaning heavily into that iconic Lyn Collins ‘Think’ break that’s been the backbone of countless classics. The energy never lets up, and the way Rico Tubbs weaves between the original’s DNA and his own Speed Garage vision shows real understanding of both eras.
This is a track built for maximum impact. Whether you’re playing it in a club or just appreciating the production craft, there’s something satisfying about hearing a producer take a Hip Hop classic and translate it into UK bass culture with this much confidence and flair. Rico Tubbs has delivered something genuinely fun that respects the source material whilst making it completely his own.
If you’re a fan of Speed Garage done right or just appreciate producers who aren’t afraid to take risks with reimagining classics, this one’s worth your time. Pure, chaotic energy from start to finish.
