many reggae artists are lucky to make one breakthrough to the music mainstream. horace andy has managed not only to make a mark with *skylarking*, but also to deliver the definitive reggae version of soul singer-songwriter bill withers evergreen *aint no sunshine*. one of reggaes most distinctive singers, andy has managed to sound as credible delivering social commentary as he does love songs. as one critic put it, *the fragile, vulnerable qualities of his voice could invariably be relied upon to add dignity and sincerity to songs*, the proof is everywhere on this compilation.

hip hop did not develop in a vacuum - its roots can be traced back to the earliest afro-american music, and the folks who were influenced by these sounds along the way. this lp compiles some of the great recordings that showcase the spoken word and street culture put forth from the 1920s through the 1960s that would go on to influence the entire rap music genre. the themes will be familiar - religion, politics, black experience, badass gangsta rap, speed, sex, drugs and rock n roll. lets listen to the lessons that the hipsters of the past taught the rappers of today.

after time spent whipping up singles for moodmusic and my best friend amongst others, maurice aymard makes the leap to the long-player with a selection of jams that reflect his propensity for live instrumentation and thoroughly musical constructs within the disco-inflected realms of house music. as if metro area were played out by hand, tracks such as home groove hard on plush live bass lines, poignant rhodes chords and romantic lead synths. gui boratto turns up to chip in to colours & drops with its more prominent techy backbone, but that s offset by the non-dancefloor roll of 1994 . it s a diverse album that provides the perfect platform for a skilled craftsman to explore, er, his craft.

tyree coopers all you need is house ep is a proud celebration of the genre, done chicago style and rammed home by marco’s wailing vocals. through solid drums and strong vocal hooks, coopers original beats down hard justifying the need for a 180g pressing. it rattles and hums until dropping into a tom-drum and snare solo similar to runaways *brooklyn club jam*. bobby starrs mix brings marcos teddy pendergrass-sung vocals to the fore, while milty evans gets a little techier with a cut up approach, adding white noise flashes and lots of filterwerk. cooper second take comes via a classic dub which draws a link between squelchy baile funk and a masters at work drum track.

persnickety sounds is here to funk-ti-fy your world! in this era of nu-disco, space disco, cosmic disco, disco house and shit, there must be a beacon of quality to light the way and lead the faithful back to a place where good grooves matter and realness is holding court.let the labels fall and just get it movin.

what did you do the year you turned 21? hip-hop prodigy fashawn earned a spot on the cover of xxl magazine, toured the world and built a rep as one of raps new rising stars. fashawns debut album, *boys meets world*, was heralded by critics and fans alike as one of the best albums of 2009 for its gritty, streetwise and intelligent rhymes. some even compared his introductory opus to nas brilliant *illmatic*. it was enough for xxl to name fashawn to its list of hip-hops best freshman.
fast forward to 2012 and over 200 shows and 2 mixtapes later fashawn is back in full effect with his latest release *champagne and styrofoamcups*. featuring taylor gangs wiz khalifa, mfn mr. exquire, kobe, k young, chevy woods and more champagne and styrofoam cups is considered a top release in 2012. working with boy meets world producer exile, fashawn also called upon hip hops next generation of producers in dj dahi (kendrick lamar, dom kennedy), rahki (eminem, 50 cent) and classic west coast producers jake one and hecktik.

the legendary skatalites, alongside the later studio one in-house bands - the soul vendors, sound dimension, soul defenders and brentford road all stars ? were as much a part of the classic studio one sound as were the singers that they accompanied such as alton ellis, horace andy, marcia griffiths and bob marley and the wailers. this album features many of the musicians involved with studio one who literally defined reggae music. from the skatalites members tommy mccook, roland alphonso, jackie mittoo to killer sidemen such as trombonist vin gordon (a/k/a don drummond jnr), saxophonist cedric im brooks, keyboardist and twelve tribes of israel member pablove black. many of the rhythms that these musicians created became the back-bone of the jamaican musical world and their songs have been replayed and re-versioned by 1000s of reggae producers ever-since. the album features classic and super-rare tracks all recorded under clement ?sir coxsoneÊ doddÊs supervision at the legendary recording studio and record label. as well as sixteen killer tracks the album comes with new sleevenotes and photography by dennis morris and adrian boot making this another essential studio one reggae release for connoisseurs of reggae and newcomers alike.
