Mark Knight, James Hurr (feat. Cutty Ranks) - Bad Man

**RADIO EMBARGO UNTIL 15TH MAY PLEASE**

Mark Knight and James Hurr are back at it again and this time they’ve brought Cutty Ranks along for the ride on ‘Bad Man’.

Mark’s been in serious form this year, linking up with names like Armand Van Helden, Wh0, Pietro, Rome Fortune and Jay Vegas, keeping both clubs and airwaves on lock. James Hurr’s right there with him dropping heat across Armada, Golden Recordings, Toolroom Trax and beyond. Then you’ve got Cutty Ranks, a true dancehall icon officially blessing the track, built around his 1991 ‘Pon Pause’ that adds his unmistakable vocal energy.

‘Bad Man’ picks up right where Mark’s ‘Don Dadda’ left off, chunky drums, rolling groove, and a clever use of a vocal hook that drives the whole track. Just a proper heads-down, hands-up weapon.
