Link to the Show / Show Notes
The Life Force Trio start procedings this week with a great slice of musical spirituality which was taken from the excellent Echo Expansion records compilation featuring a roster of 'who's who' and 'who's about to be'in the world of quality underground leftfield music. I then steal a Milt Jackson track from a possibly even better compilation, Peter Kruder's Private Collection one of the nicest selections I've heard in a while - essential purchase and the Portico Quartet have been given a great sympathetic dubstep remix from Sbtrk who beefs up the bottom end but keeps the musicality, great job.
Eskmo goes to show that not all dubstep comes from small bedrooms in South London as Planet Mu kindly showcase this great producer from San Francisco and Gang Gang Dance are given a nice remix by Dj Rupture and Matt Shadatek which has been lifted from their new mix CD - Solar Life Raft. Civil Music have come up trumps again with Reason or Romanza who are about to release their EP full of great original tracks and some excellent remixes - watch out for these boys and always keep an eye on what Civil Music are putting out.
Chickenwing All Stars are a South London reggae dub collective under the leadership of Anderson and Craig Tamlin, percussionist with Anthony Joseph & the Spasm band and their debut is a nice deep reggae cover of the classic Gary Bartz track Celestial Blues. Lambent is a hot Japanese producer now resident in Berlin who has just released an album of his mellower offerings on the always interesting Project Moon Circle and Eglo come through yet again this time courtesy of progressive soul boy Funkineven and a great slice of future boogie feat Fatima.
Happy Days - Trus'me is back with a new album after his acclaimed debut and you wont be disapointed, just wait till you hear it and look out for some great guests as well. Moonstar is still whacking out the fresh jazz beats in his inimitable style this time with the help of some crazy keys from Tony Ezzy and there's a great compilation coming out on Tirk of some of Greg Wilson's finest edits - you know that's essential. Keeping on the compilation tip, the disco compilation kings BBE are coming through soon with a DJ Spinna compiled disco selection and the Jan Leslie Holmes track is just a taster of the aural delights to come.
