re-issue of the roots manuva dub-album from 2000 with download code included.

hiem, who created the stunning *2.a.m* single with the human leagues phil oakey earlier this year on nang, returns with another collaboration of equal measure, this time with the uks one and only roots manuva.

klasse 4 track ep von einem der britischen pioniere in sachen hip hop und black british music! rodney smith, besser bekannt als roots manuva, veröffentlicht den staerksten track aus seinem letzten album 4everevolution mit unveröffentlichten mixen von wafa, die aus dem original einen hyperkinetischen club-hit schrauben. desweiteren gibt es eine neubearbeitung von roots manuva höchstpersönlich, und mit party time und natural befinden sich noch zwei non-album tracks auf vorliegender ep. check it out!

distinctive records introduce >chase<, the debut release by ill audio, featuring the one and only roots manuva on the ones and twos. its a dubbed out excursion into deep hybrid territory, with elements of dubstep, reggae, hiphop and electronica and rock.

the album is just a few seconds under an hour long, consists of seventeen tracks and covers every style from wonky reggae through pop-funk, street spitting, straight up hip hop, sung ballads and epic death-disco. it deepens much of what mr manuva has already achieved over a glorious decade of innovation, but also throws in enough new ideas and adventures to last most creative artists a lifetime. we think it is his very best work since run come save me. we re wondering (whisper it) whether it might be his best album ever.

fire up the barbecue, crack a dragon stout, mix up yer guinness punch, carry out whatever cliched act of caribbeanism you can think of, because its summer at last and a new roots manuva album is here! and with artwork from the legendary tony mcdermott (who was responsible for the illustrations on greensleeves classics by the likes of scientist, mad professor and the famous >carnival of reggae< 12 inch sleeve) its a thing of beauty.
comes with download-code for mp3-version of this release.

erste auskopplung aus dem >duppy writer< projekt des londoner mc roots manuva zusammen mit wrongtom. mit >jah warriors< gelingt roots manuva ein fantastischer track zwischen reggae und hip hop. unterst?tzung am mic bekommt er von ricky ranking. sicherlich ein heisser anw?rter auf den diesj?hrigen tune des notting hill carnivals in london ende august! hot stuff!

mr manuva returns with one of the standout tunes from last years superb slime & reason. do nah bodda mi was produced by man-of-the-moment toddla t and, in true rootical style, rodney smith used this bouncy piece of electro-dancehall to tell people to leave him alone! packing in the hooks in amongst his switchback turns of phrase, it s a superlative performance from an mc absolutely at the top of his game and having all the fun he can squeeze into three minutes of rhythm. and that s before the remixes get going? on do bodda mi, wrong tom takes the original and turns it into classic eighties digi-dub, the spirit on sleng teng snapping with the lyrics so perfectly it s hard to tell which is the original. xrabit then turns in another of his dayglo, cartoon-bright productions, a little like mr scruff bogling, but less beardy. the package is completed by red light s club stomper, a straight-to-the-floor cruncher that s already being caned by the djs. roots manuva himself is currently working on material for his new album as well as liasing with wrong tom, whose reggae version-excursions will see the light of day later in the year on the full length manuva retrospective slime & version .

nice price deal !!! this second outing in the series of special remix 12s from lee perrys the mighty upsetter album finds tony moody boyz thorpe back at the controls, and this time hes brought his full kit of soundsystem tools along to the job. rocking the spot on an uptempo steppers rhythm, his fired up take on international broadcaster is a tight sprung burst of bogle energy, laying righteous claim to the ground where dancehalls brash excitement meets dubsteps plunging bass dynamics. awash with selectah sounds and mile long reverb delays swirling around a monster sub-bass undertow, an insistent funkin for jamaica beat drives the ride while a slick sing jay hook from lsk rotates to habit forming effect. with the added attraction of mr scratch and mr manuva doubling on abstract deejay instructions ? adjust your face... adjust your waist - the propulsive five minute sunsplash of international broadcaster will kick up dust in every yard where they do the reggae clap. no vocal version excursion on the backside ups the needles to red on the dubwise meter for extra soundboy satisfaction.

long awaited follow-up to their debut >ego war<.
