Press Release :
Fresh (geddit?) from the success of his new album, "Ninja Tuna", Mr Scruff dips his line back in the sea with the funktabulous "Get On Down". Taking a little chunk of 70’s soul goodness (a Prince Phillip Mitchell song, sung by Johnny Adams) and turning it into Scruffy sashimi, this is undoubtedly one of the dancefloor stand-outs of an album guaranteed to get any crowd bumping.

"Hold On", on the other hand, features the smooooth vox of Andreya Triana, but nothing can stop Scruff from dropping lashings of bass squelch - plus a little extra bangingness on the alternate version "Hold The Dub". Altogether uplifting, chest-vibrating and all round marvellous, this is Brit-soul the way it should be done.

Having recently featured on the covers of the Big Issue and iDJ, Mr Scruff is now ready to save the world one fish at a time. Resist Captain Birdseye! Buy Scruff!

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.
