Albums

Amadou & Mariam – Welcome To Mali – The blind husband and wife duo who’ve inspired the likes of Manu Chao and Damon Albarn amongst others. This one’s one of the best selling albums to come out of Africa. Cheers ZH

daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra – Unfinished Symphony Remixed – Reminding me of Herbaliser. Funky hip-hop with amazing production and instrumentals

Groove Armada – Goodbye Country (Hello Nightclub) – Brightened up my first week of winter. Thanks VS for reminding me to have a listen. I had to star ‘Little by Little’, ‘My Friend’, ‘Edge Hill’, ‘Tuning In’ and ‘Join Hands’ immediately – and that’s without even considering ‘Superstylin’!

Nu:Tone – Words And Pictures Sampler – an awesome new little EP to come from this D&B chappie from Cambridge.

Single tracks

daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra – Reap What You Flow – so very Herbaliser

daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra – Triple Threat – a follow-on from ‘Reap What You Flow’, but with some sweet jazz solos! Nice.

Professor Green – Spinning Out (feat. Fink) – a little Fink gem hiding in Prof Green’s album!

Nu:Tone Featuring Natalie Williams – Shine In – Been bouncing to this since Tuesday. Nu:Tone, give me more with Nat Williams!

Nu:Tone – Set Me Free – and he’s just gone for some dirty breaks!
