As the dust settled on a week of nail biting Manuva mixdowns and mastering sessions, I breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the kettle and dropped the needle on the Pama Intl single which the postie had just dropped off.
The single in question is the final from their recent Pama Outernational LP with my dub version of Equality & Justice for All on the flip. It features the usual who’s who of UK reggae alongside main men Sean, Finny and of course The Specials’ Lynval Golding on the gravel throated chorus. It’s strictly limited to 300 copies on green 7″ vinyl so don’t delay, bust out your debit card and grab yours before they run out over at Rockers Revolt.
…well flying more likely but I will be off to see Uncle Sam as I’ve just confirmed my set at Funky Sole @ Echo in LA this July. Coupled with a gig a week or so prior with Easystar Allstars in Stuy Town, NYC, and a whisper of a possible set in Toronto, this is shaping up to be a wicked trip.
I’ll be spending a week in New York and another in LA so if anyone else is interested in booking me then drop me a line.
I’m also excited to be finally wrapping things up with the Roots Manuva LP as Big Dada have laid down the law and booked the mastering session so I’m feverishly trying to get the final track “Jah Warriors” mixed down and ready for the bass bins. As the saying goes, watch ya bass bins later this summer.
Lastly I was taken aback earlier to hear I’d been mistaken for Sun Ra this weekend, aurally rather than looks-wise obviously but the ever amazing Black Classical saw fit to include my track “Sixrock” in his Sun Ra/David Axelrod tribute show which aired on Space Invader Radio on Sunday, and a great show it was – grab it here.
It’s rare that I hear a decent track at the top of the UK charts and even less likely that it might invoke the spirit of classic uk dancehall and ragga-hiphop in one go. So with that in mind, I once again fired up my tatty old drum machine, dusted off the bass synth and turned my hand to Tinie Tempah’s Pass Out.
I don’t do this very often, in fact the last time I shared an under the counter remix with the public was back when I did Lily Allen’s LDN 4 years ago but despite having a backlog of tracks to finish I couldn’t resist. No downloading yet but you can preview it below.
Apologies to any Jerseyites who may be reading but as a main-lander I still haven’t tired of Bergerac references, much to the dismay of the nice folks at Fuzzbox who asked me to put together a mix to give out at Urban Aristocracy next Saturday, so to make ammends I took to my record box and pulled out a handful of my current favourites which you can now stream on Mixcloud.
English Channeling is a dubstep heavy affair covering everything from 6Blocc’s dancehall crossovers to Terror Danjah’s adventures in acid. If you’re coming to the night, trust it’ll be more of an eclectic session but for now you and John Nettles can both enjoy some 140bpm bass business.
Thought I’d give you a sneak preview of a remix I’ve been working for Jimmy Screech’s forthcoming “Divine” single.
The full vocal version will be hitting the stores in the summer but for now you can wind up your waste to the rattling drums and scattering steel-pans of my Divine Rhythm.
