Link to the Show / Show Notes
Kicking off this week with some deep dub techno hybrid late night lushness courtesy of Rooflight, a promising talent if ever there was one. Tony Allen drops a raw percussive, surprisingly non Afrobeat, gem and Gamal Goma show that it's not just the Africans who do amazing percussion. Mordant Music provide a slice of mesmerising, leftfield, boundary pushing house music that you wouldn't know which section of the record shop to put it in.
The forthcoming Ogris Debris ep is so good that I drop the original late night floor destroying cut after dropping the more cerebral Dorian Concept mix last week. Troy and Shea Soul show that UK Funky can be well produced and super soulful and I also drop another track from the excellent new Paten Locke album, just how hip hop should be sounding.
DJ Devastate provides another slice of deep lazy jazzy hip hop taken from his excellent forthcoming album on BBE Records, all you beat heads looking for some chilled beats watch out for that one. To be honest I'm having trouble telling a lot of the Dam Funk tracks apart, as much as I like his sound but he's hit 'kick back with your girl' gold with the super mellow 10 West, pure easyness. The new Impossible Ark compilation of jazz covers is a wonderful thing as The Fiction Trio tune ably demonstrates, France's finest Afrobeat boys Fanga come up trumps yet again as do the ever excellent Soundway boys as I play a track from their incredible Panama II compilation - look out for Volum 3 coming soon, you know it's going to be essential..
