Biggabush - Biggabush Free

Biggabush - "Biggabush Free"
(Stereo Deluxe 204)

Vous connaissez probablement déjà Biggabush. Glyn Bush (aucun lien), "Bigga" de son surnom, était à la fin des années 90 une moitié du duo Rockers Hi-Fi (avec Dj Dick Whittingham), groupe qui il faut l'avouer s'était enlisé sur trois albums dans des contrées bigbeat/triphopisantes sans véritable intérêt. Vous aviez pu le repérer sur son splendide remix du "Illegal" de Swayzak, fortement dubby, ou sur des remixes de Ennio Morricone, Tapper Zukie, B..?? Toujours pas? Bon si vous écoutez un chouia la radio, vous avez sûrement dû tomber, en 2002, sur "Me & me princess" ("Nanananana nice... Like beans and rice"), cette bonne bombe ragga-breakbeat, remix d'un acapella ragga/soul de 1992 agrémenté de claviers funky irrésistibles. Elle était extraite de son premier album solo depuis la séparation des Rockers Hi-Fi, "Studio Son", sorti sous pseudo Lightning Head, chez Sonar Kollectiv, le label de Jazzanova & friends. Apparemment le bonhomme aime à brouiller les pistes puisqu'après Rockers Hi-Fi et Lightning Head il devient donc Biggabush et pour son nouvel opus "Biggabush Free", il change de label et signe chez Stereo Deluxe, ces gens de goût qui nous ont déjà apporté Mo' Horizons, Boozoo Bajou ou Bobby Hugues Combination... Et même si l'empreinte dub (dans le sens jamaïcain du terme) est bien présente sur tout le disque, Biggabush vogue sans houle à travers une foultitude de styles: acid, breakbeat, house, latino, hip hop, ambient, electro-funk, tout est passé en revue le long d'un disque qui n'est au final ni un album de musique électronique de plus, ni album de dub de plus. Ils sont fort chez Stereo Deluxe.

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.
