Dusty – Keep It Raw EP
Jazz&Milk label head Dusty has a brand new EP out now on vinyl, and then also out digitally on 1st October – it’s called Keep It Raw, and frankly, it’s immense.
Jazz music has influenced an unfathomable plethora of genres and artists over time, but in recent years – minus straight up contemporary jazz – the influences have been just that… influences, floating somewhere under the track playing second fiddle to a break-beat or hip-hop rhythm. I still haven’t fully consumed the notion, but … [read more]
RADIO: Jus’ Like Music on BTR
This week Jus’ Like Music has been the Blog Of The Week over at internet radio station Break Thru Radio – which is both an honour AND a privilege. So those kind guys have been featuring some of my blog posts through out the week, but… today I appeared on their radio show The Anatomy of a Blogger – so you get to hear my mumbling English voice over the internet airwaves, lucky you! So head on over to Break Thru Radio and tune into … [read more]
VIDEO: Mr. Scruff – Music Takes Me Up
Last week I wrote about the latest in the Ninja Tuna series from Mr. Scruff – the lead track was Music Takes Me Up featuring Alice Russell, “a real head nodder with a very addictive melody” as I said then. Well as you can see above there is a video out to coincide with the official release of the EP. Mr. Scruff has made Alice Russell out to be a right lemon – but in the nicest possible way of course! Oh, and look … [read more]
2tall – The Softer Diagram
Former UK DMC DJ Champ and producer extraordinaire, 2tall, is back for 2008 with his second solo LP The Softer Diagram, out now on the Content label. Available as of last month on vinyl, The Softer Diagram is now officially out to buy on mp3 download. And download you should, cos this one’s a bit special – 37 minutes containing some of the tightest and most interesting productions I have heard in a while. 2tall created something a bit wicked last year with … [read more]
The Long Lost – Flying Lotus Remixes
The Long Lost is a project by Alfred Darlington (Daedelus) and his wife Laura Darlington. At the end of this month their first official release, Woebegone, will be available through Ninja Tune on both 12″ vinyl and mp3 download.
Alas, today I have a couple of remixes for you from a dear friend of The Long Lost – Monsieur Flying Lotus, no less. Both remixes are for the title track Woebegone. The first is Flying Lotus’ Luckiest Charm, giving … [read more]
Mr. Scruff – Music Takes Me Up
The third installment of Mr. Scruff‘s Ninja Tuna series is here! Previously we’ve had Donkey Ride/Giant Pickle and then Kalimba/Give Up To Get, but now we have Music Takes Me Up featuring none other than Alice Russell. Out now on both 12″ vinyl and mp3, the release also includes the tracks The Clock and Fix That Speaker.
Music Takes Me Up is a piano driven classic Mr. Scruff track, real head nodder with a very addictive melody, and fantastic vocals from … [read more]
Hermitude – Slychain
The best hip-hop group in Australia, Hermitude, will be delivering their third LP, Threads, later this month on Elefant Traks. As a pre-cursor to that highly anticipated release, I have for you today a sneaky glance at one of the new tracks from messrs Luke Dubbs and El Gusto, aka: Hermitude.
Slychain is a chilled out banger encompassing a slightly latin influenced beat, mean synth samples and some tight scratches. There are multiple layers to this beautifully arranged track and it’s … [read more]
Juba Dance – Orange Juiced
In 2007 a little known album on the Audio 8 record label crash landed into my Album Of The Year blog post. That album was Orange by Juba Dance. Benjamin Lamar and Polyphonic the Verbose are the duo that make up Juba Dance, and what they create is tough to pinpoint and describe. Essentially speaking it’s a sonic culmination of hip-hop, jazz, blues and probably half dozen more genres and sub-genres too! But what really stands out is just how damn fresh … [read more]
Roots Manuva – Slime & Reason
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you will no doubt have been eagerly anticipating the new Roots Manuva LP Slime & Reason just as much as I have. Officially out on 1st September on Big Dada, but emphatically reviewed right here on Jus Like Music and right now.
Since appearing on the Blak Twang single Queen’s Head back in 1994, our man Rodney Smith has released five LPs on Big Dada (the Ninja Tune hip-hop imprint) – but here we are on … [read more]
