Tune in to the Tropical Soundclash playlist, where afro latin goodness meets house, disco, broken beat and bass: bit.ly/49QOlLh

here’s two UK albums I love that aren’t on regular streaming

The debut album from Overlord X and his crew side project X-Possee both dropped in 1989 and whilst both are a little rough around the edges production and emcee wise - the charm of both has stayed with me forever 🔥

Soul II Soul ‘Club Classics Vol 1’ was released today in 1989, started to listen to it loads again recently & the quality of production just shines, stinks of very expensive studios in such a good way, still sonically & musically sounds magnificent. youtu.be/HhUYNjfZidQ?si…

Soul II Soul – Club Classics Vol One dropped April 10th, 1989. Seems like a decent reason to bump the entire thing ALL DAY.

And, if you fancy a little know-ledge, I caught up with Jazzie B OBE for this track-by-track breakdown in 2013 for Future Music:

For anyone that hasn’t secured a copy of this yet, JUST DO IT.

(Cripes that’s a catchy slogan. Might slap a copyright on that before it’s too late).

Catch me and the rest of The Allergies sharing a bill with Jazzie B on the 27th at Peterborough Cathedral Eclectic Ballroom peterborough-cathedral.org.uk/143/section.as…

Pioneering British Hip-Hop crew The Sindecut, featuring founding member DJ Fingers, and singer-songwriter Ijeoma, follow up their debut album ‘Late’ with an EP titled ‘Early’; a collection of tracks reflecting the duo’s 20 years of collaboration.
