Shantel - Bucovina Club
(Essay Recordings, Ref. AYCD1) Selected by Shantel

Passionnés des films de Goran Bregovic, voici enfin un mix "world" qui s'adresse à vous. Shantel, qui nous avait "loungeusement" enthousiasmé avec ses deux albums "Higher Than The Funk" en 1998 et "Great Delay" en 2001 (tous deux sortis chez Essay Recordings, en license chez !K7 Records), s'affranchit désormais du label américano-allemand !K7 pour sortir les productions de son label Essay Recordings en distribution chez Universal. Résultat: tous les médias interdépendants d'Universal vont crier au génie des balkans, les autres, pudiques, ne parleront plus jamais de Shantel, devenu un sale vendu, condammé à l'extinction, tout comme son distributeur... Ce serait bien dommage, en effet, de passer à côté du "Baro Foro" de Gogol Bordello, qui évoque ici un Tom Waits moustachu et bulgare, ou le ska venu du froid de "Bucovina" (signé par Shantel lui-même, disponible aussi en version dub à la fin du disque), ou le zouk-raï des balkans (!) de la Fanfare Ciocarlia, remixée par Shantel ("Iag Bari")... et pourtant c'est immanquablement ce qui va se passer. En espèrant que Shantel change de crèmerie (de distributeur) et qu'il arrête de se la jouer trop puriste, nous continuerons alors à jeter une oreille sur ses prods.
Note trop puriste des balkans: *½ (Havanito)

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.
