Another Remix completed and another TWO started.

I have just finished a version of Mantombi Matotiyani's track "Emva Kkhaya", which is, in basic terms, a jews harp-style track all the way... leaving MASSES of space to play with. You can check out this exclusively African release next year on the label Nanny Tango and "MELT 2000" (melt.co.za).

Next year see's the highly respected TROJAN RECORDS 40th birthday. To celebrate this the label has asked a number of artist to do mixes, remixes and interpretations of some of the tracks they've released over the years. I'll be providing a mix alongside such greats as DJ Spooky, Gorillaz and Fatboy Slim.

Speech Debelle - Freedom Of Speech - out on Big Dada Recordings

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.
