Deep Concentration vol. 4 - Wreckin The Floor

Deep Concentration vol. 4 - Wreckin The Floor
(Om Records, Ref. OM-140, 2003)

La série "Deep Concentration" et ses tracks de hip hop "expérimental" d'Om Records est assez légendaire chez les amateurs de turntablism, en particulier le premier volume avec ses Cut Chemist, Prince Paul, X-Ecutionners, Lyrics Born, Peanut Butter Wolf, Beat Junkies, Mumbles, Mix Master Mike, Scratch Perverts, Rob Swift... La thématique est toujours la même, elle consiste à compiler la pointe de la crème du hip hop de ce qu'il se passe aujourd'hui pas hier bref le top.
Mais vous allez me dire: "comme tout le monde?". Et bien non justement, car les californiens d'Om Records ont du goût en hip hop, un putain de talent de sélector qui tue, avec toujours justement ce point de vue californien, fresh et ensoleillé (avec la rondelle de citron s'il-vous-plait), un oeil sur les nouveaux scratcheurs fous et un pied ancré dans le fonk et le hip hop purement old school. Le quatrième volume est lui tout spécialement orienté vers le dancefloor, la grosse teuf avec l'ampli au maximum qui risque de pêter à tout moment ("mais non c'est bon il va tenir faut juste pas mettre trop fort"), les filles qui se déhanchent à n'en plus savoir laquelle brancher. Et en plus tout cela est garanti 100% sans Timbaland, Neptunes, P. Daddy, Dr. Dre ou autres fabriquants d'artistes professionnels et interchangeables: ça reste 100% funky hip hop underground et la lutte continue...

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.
