Press Release :
Rebtuz is back! After a trip to the African continent this is what was found: Tropical. Dancefloor. Destruction. Stand well back! First up on this limited four tracker is Zero dB Vs Switch doing "A Bit Pomba". This one's a heavy dancefloor blend of Incredible Bongo Band beats, nasty acid synths and a panned and filtered Latino vocal that tears the floor right up! Woo-hoo! Next we get Fela Kuti's "United States Of Africa" remixed by Me & You. This is a grimey / broken beat edit of an early Fela tune, which you might remember from the Me & You double CD "Music For Birthdays", but here's its first vinyl outing. Also on the remix tip, Diesler takes on Osibisa's "Music For Gong Gong", turning out another wicked slice of broken Afro grooves. He also gives The Ethiopian Quintet's "Askum" a run for its money, reworking this underground funky Afro-jazz tune with nuff bump'n'hustle for the floor. Superb stuff - not to be missed!

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech
(CD/LP/Digital) Big Dada Recordings BD193, 2012-02-06

Two years since winning the 2009 Mercury Music Prize for her debut album, Speech Therapy, and having ridden a rollercoaster through life since then, Speech Debelle is ready to drop her second collection of music. Entitled Freedom of Speech, the album sees Speech turning from introspection to stand up, face and engage with the world around her, spitting confident themes of revolution and love. A first taste of the album came in the aftermath of this summer's riots, when Speech reacted immediately, leaking the track Blaze Up A Fire, (also featuring Roots ManuvaRealism), a track about political revolution written months before. Now the build-up begins to the release of Freedom of Speech in early February 2012 with the free download of the track Studio Backpack Rap. From political to musical revolution, Speech describes the track as being "all about virtual instrumentation and an ode to KwesSpeech Therapy, while showcasing just one aspect of her remarkable new album.
