while we're on the subject, just thought i'd mention that i'm playing with
gilles on thursday night if anyone's in the cheltenham area. also ex-mc from
galliano will be on the mic.
has anyone bought jazz in the house-the spring collection? side f which has
guiro's free - the best track on the comp imo - is quite distorted on my
copy. just wondering if they're all like this or if mine's a duff pressing
to send back.
some stuff i got recently that's well worth checking out, sorry i haven't
had a chance to do proper reviews:
fila brazillia - brazilification
selection of fila remixes inc some real classics.
v/a - central heating 2
nice grand central compilation
idjut boys - saturday night live (nuphonic)
diverse selection from dubby house to classic disco. if you enjoyed the loft
comp, you'll like this.
bah samba - black blood (estereo)
this is starting to grow on me, love the percussion.
v/a - future world funk
one of the best things i've got in a long time. really diverse selection of
vibes all on a worldly tip. inc femi kuti, simon lee, stereo mcs.

friends from rio - cravo e canela
ig culture on the remixes. mad 6/8 beats.
st germain - tourist (blue note)
just as good as everyone has been saying. nice balance of house and
downtempo tracks.
masters at work ft wunmi - ekabo
maw on the afrobeat vibe. very remenicent of tribute.
high & mighty - high performance
quality hiphop
