Press Release :
The Five Corners Quintet is back!

Three years after their sensational debut, the modern classic "Chasin' the Jazz Gone By" which sold over 40 000 units worldwide, FCQ returns with a 10-inch EP titled "Hot Corners". Three tracks of intense dance floor jazz for the forward thinking clubber. Their second album will be released in late 2008.

A: "Hot Rod" (T. Kallio): Rockabilly inspired intense dancefloor number that fuses modal jazz with driving upbeat shuffle. If Gene Vincent had collaborated with Wayne Shorter, maybe the result would have sounded something like this.

AA: "Shake It" (T. Makynen): Intense uptempo number which keeps the musicians - and the dance floor - on its toes. If Cannonball Adderley Quintet had interpreted The Sonics, perhaps it had gone this way.

AAA: "Easy Diggin'" (T. Kallio): Melodic and versatile instrumental track which makes you want to clap your hands and shout ‘Yeah!'. If Boogaloo Bacharach had recorded something for Stax Records had the result been this, we wonder.

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.
