Press Release :
Born and raised in Japan Kentaro is hugely popular there but also travels all around the world playing to audiences in Europe and the USA. He nearly actually became a reggae sound system selector before starting to move more towards hip hop and dance music.

When we asked him if he would be interested in doing this project he was immediately positive and enthusiastic. It’s a unique album with a strong leaning towards the more ‘dub’ and instrumental side in the track selection. We felt that would be a lot tougher for Kentaro to mix. We think he has done an exceptional job and are really pleased with the results.

The album will only be available on CD and is only available from select outlets around the world outside of Japan. It is available as an import and as such comes with a Japanese insert.

It’s the first time we have taken on such a project and hopefully it will bring a different perspective to some classic reggae tracks.

We hope you enjoy the album.

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

Speech Debelle Freedom Of Speech
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.
