Tracklist / Contenido del programa:

So a cover album of Arthur Russell tunes sounds like a potential train crash but if the cover of ‘Love Dancing’ that kicked off this weeks show is anything to go by I’m looking forward to hearing the rest of it! The project is helped by the fact that Arthur’s Landing, the band doing the covers, is made up of original collaborators with the man. ‘Ares’ by Karlmarx then followed but don’t be fooled they haven’t dug up that old German philosopher they are actually a couple of brothers from the increasingly fertile New Zealand beat making scene, look out for their debut album coming out soon on MPM Records. Now one of my EPs of the year is surely going to be the Teleseen EP on Percept, it’s a complete mishmash of digi dubbed rhythms and a whole host of musical influences from this Brooklyn bad boy, check it out!!

Boxcutter is back and hitting 2011 hard with his new double A-Side release due out on Planet Mu shortly, always one to watch just check the ‘Allele’ track on the show. Shackleton shouldn’t really need an introduction and I finally dropped the ‘Bastard Spirit’ track from the debut ep on his nice new record label, Woe To The Septic Heart! That was closely followed by some of the loosest, deepest hip hop beats you are going to hear in a while courtesy of Hey!Zeus – not for the faint hearted or G-Unit fans. Now I’m a big fan of Taprikk Sweezee since I first checked him last year and he’s not letting me down this year as his new EP of soulful vocals with forward thinking beats will testify when it drops very shortly on Zoik, German future soul never sounded so fresh.

Daedelus is nothing but prolific and his new album is due late Spring on Ninja Tune and the first little taster is about to drop with a nice little Tokimonsta rework, can’t wait to hear the rest. Now Hype Williams are living up to their name but I quite like ‘The Throning’ track from their recent album but even more I like the new Bryant K track ‘Stars’ out on a little 7″ courtesy of Now Again records, great croaky soul vibes.

Roof Light then followed with a nice cut up of Midas Touch before I dropped a track by Kocky from the new Joey Negro compiled The Soul Of Disco 3 compilation on Z Records. Chock full of floor filling soulful disco it’s one not to miss. Some Caribbean disco from days gone by then ended the show nicely courtesy of Eddie Hooper and Soundway Records, feel the warmth.
