Press Release :
When you listen to Pop Levi's ridiculously-good, utterly classic second album, “Never Never Love,” “Dita Dimone” is the moment when you know you're dealing with something a little special. A low-slung, sexed-up number about having a hex put on you by a girl, Mr Levi himself describes it as “astral-future-soul-hip-pop”. Pop Levi has found his own sound, he has never been this assured.

Now check the remixes. Hot new Big Dada signings Xrabit & DMG$ keep the opulent soul of the original but chuck in a little hip hop attitude and verbals for a silly and uplifting summer rap. LA's Pink Enemy returns after his excellent mix of “Never Never Love” with a loud and intense gltichtronik workout. Dirtlab weigh in with an Alvin-and-the-Chipmunks-go-Hoxton-electroclash scenario. Last up come men-of-the-moment Mumdance & High Rankin who choose to slow the vox and slather in sacks of bass. Funny and intense…

The package is completed by “Semi-Babe,” Pop's personal favourite from the new album, a gorgeous slice of summery nostalgia.

Flamboyant, utterly self-confident, completely his own man and so uninterested in the back and forth of fashion that everything he makes is an instant classic, Pop Levi is in the building. Bow down and give thanks…

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.
