There's a newish Funky Lowlives on G-Stone. Essential. Their mix of
Speeka's version of the Clash's London Calling was a fairly inspired

The Ascension stuff is almost all worth getting, although if you can
find the Ascension comp on vinyl, you're pretty well sorted. Groove
Distribution used to have some of their back catalog in stock.
