Press Release :
Get ready for their first 12inch out on Unique - with a total of 3 remixes of their 'Akwaaba' and 'Afro Riddim' tunes supporting the release of their debut album 'Afro Soul System' (UNIQ131). This single features 'Akwaaba' which has been released on 7inch - with two different remix treatments of Tru Thoughts very own Jonathan Radford aka Diesler.

On the A side Diesler joins forces with singer Laura Vane and Ton van der Kolk, the bassplayer of AIFF, who contributes a funky bass / slap groove to the track - it all melts into an endless groove pattern of drums and basslines, a stand out afro disco fusion that simply creates a lot of positive energy throughout.

The B side features the strong afro house grooves of afro riddim with the vocalist / toaster Crucial T., the former singer of the ska group The Continentals and singer on AIFFs other sideproject The Soul Snatchers. It starts from halftime vibe into an straight uptempo groover, you can´t miss its beauty...

'Akwaaba's second Diesler treatment features the track almost with its original jazzy overal feel but cut up with nice breaks and of course the vocal of Laura Vane on top. Let them take you to a powerful trip into their own world of afro funk!

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.
