1.
justin adams - "dessert"
(wayward)(a wondrous

dj cheb i sabbah - "maha
maya"
(nation records)
(in remix with the likes
of state of bengal, fun<da>mental, tj rehmi - a wonderful cd
revisiting this underrated genious's sacred indian into dance tunes mixes) 3.

dog label with new
music from natacha atlas, pfink, emperor sly, bhundu boys, neil sparkes, to
name but a few, with tracks sourced worldwide) 4.
jaymz nylon -
"afrotech"
(urma

no african diasporan path untrod in his high tech roots exploration which
builds as mystically as any voodoo ceremony but is totally programmed) 5.
madman of god - "sussan
deyhim"

gold with these ancient sufi screeds supremely expressed in sussan’s
mystic and rich tones entwined within the most adventurous
traditional/electronic fusion i’ve found) 6.
sidestepper - "more
grip"
(palm pictures) (easily
fulfils the promise of logozo. latin roots immersed in club culture, rarely
off my decks. colombian beats deconstructed and re-created heavy on the bass
with super vocals.) 7.
compiled by claude challe - "bhudda
bar ii"
(wagram -distrib in uk by discovery). (this
will grow and grow on you – an amazing eclectic selection by the master
ranging from ambient asian to thriller brazilian tech and feelgood soul
funk) 8.
bop musiq collective - "bop
musiq vol 1"
lp (essentially
a showcase album for bop’s (british original products) mighty rosta
including the sultry trip reggae of red jen, maad ethics urban griff powered
rap, sp’s beatbox and wade austin’s spone thrilling jazz steelpan
collaboration with voocalist julie dexter.) 9.
nusrat fateh ali khan - "dust
to gold"
(realworld) (the
supremest ever nusrat fateh ali khan contribution. my d drive decided to go
on repeat and i was in qawwali heaven! with each track an average of 15 mins,
imagine the heights this soars to!) 10. spieces - "some have dreams" ep (croc music) (global consciousness, dance and vibe mixes from this world fusion group whose live act is visually exquisite with black theatre techniques, mime and superlative playing of diverse electric and traditional instruments and crystal vocals.) |
