A bobbing, minimal groover from the Berlin corner, dug-in and funked-up over ten minutes; and icily original, top-dog work from Pev, tethered between a kind of arrested Highlife and a Detroit breakout.
Fiercely brilliant, slashing, whooping dance music from Oni — all-original, no samples — and a stonking Detroit thumper from the master.
The first in our series of Shangaan homages. A metronomic, clicking beat to drive you crazy; a kind of Motorik lash — dubwise, midrange; moody strings. Wry, driving, one-of-a-kind genius from the Berliner.
Two EPs of storming, squinty Shangaan Electro to herald the European tour of Tiyiselani, the Tshetshas and producer Dog, in the summer of 2011.
'New levels of excellence... a poetic incantation of British identity far brighter than Michael Gove's proposed GCSE history syllabus *****' (The Sunday Times). 'Magnificent ****' (The Guardian).
At its most open, shifting and expressive to date. For all the music's complexity and deep coherence, freedom is the key. At times it grooves hard; at others it's lush, romantic. With Tikiman and Marc Muellbauer.
Signature Shackleton — paranoia flaring into dancefloor fire, gripping and rolling. With a chilled and crackling King Midas Sound, Hitomi forlorn. And finally The Bug himself, digital only, getting in your face.
A malevolent scorcher, with Middle Eastern percussion harking back to Hamas Rule; a ravening, scrabbling T++ remix. And a new departure — rich and spry, computer-unbound — with a truly epic, stunning Mordant.
Swelling out of thin air like a monstrous child of Krautrock — immense, propulsive, minimal — with a Mala remix which ratchets up the open-air drama and dread.
Thirty-five precious, stinging selections from an HMV run of more than four hundred 78s, recordings made in Uganda and Kenya from the mid-1930s till the mid-1950s.
The first half of the Something Is Wrong CD set, beautifully pressed and presented, with its own twelve-inch-square booklet.
Recently reviewed in the New York Times, as a highlight of 2010: 'I have heard no more beautiful record this year... a righteous calm takes over the album like a spirit force.'
