Scientist, Roots Radics.
Belting space-techno steppers.
Majestic and immense Cure, on The Heptones’ Give Me The Right rhythm.
A bass-bin trembler from the surefire doyen of nu disco-house.
‘Anutha ho (bites the dust)...’ Classic rap diss, elbowing in on the Roxanne Shante - Sparky D blow-up.
A traditional Jola rhythm, with tuned, talking and kit drums swarming across scraps of guitar and the Mboups singing; then a more deeply dug-in, spaced-out funk, spun from a Serer rhythm. With full instrumentals.
Rock-steady, slow-burning, hard funk, a kind of fatback Mbalax, in no mood to be messed with, with full vocal and instrumental versions; plus two vivid sketches, talking drums to the fore.
Heartically dubwise, rugged and raw essays in classic grime, UK garage and dubstep from a new London-Berlin collaboration, with stuff like Horsepower’s In Fine Style galloping through its nervous system.
With a Regis remix.
Four DJ Spider remixes for his own imprint, including a Joey Anderson and an Innerspace Halflife.
Madteo mixes.
Monumental soul-reggae in its full 12-inch glory, with a terrific old school rap from Welton Irie, and two dubs.
Arguably the definitive version of the Randy Newman song, though it’s probably a Nina Simone cover.
Ka-boom! The legendary digger re-ignites the Lagos Disco Inferno and kicks off his very own mouth-watering imprint with two sides of boogie-down bliss.
Remixes by Beatrice Dillon and Peder Mannerfelt.
