One worth listening to on the Ali Baba rhythm IMO is Ganga Exchange by Johnny Ringo.

Not a DJ, but David Jahson's "Natty chase the barber" is a killer, imho.

Not really a DJ but Earl 16's Roller Belly (Rollar?) is a killer, still looking for it myself mind. Fairly sure its the same ryhthm not listened to that tune in a while now though.

Check out "Arabian Dub" - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/3 ... ight=48274

Absolute murdah!

Also available here - http://www.roots-archives.com/release/1 ... ight=24883 - followed by another version - King Tubby & The Aggrovators - "I Trim The Barber".

"Arabian Dub" is the one for me though.
