(Mackrosoft/T.I.M.E.C., 2005)

Respectivement les 9ème, 10ème et 11ème albums de chez les espèces de grands dingues du jazz et du funk de chez Mackrosoft, et à chaque nouvel opus un palier de plus est franchi! En 2004 sort un "The Dawning Of Aja Aquarius", épilogue d'une trilogie d'albums hip hop/jazz/funk west coast de 2003 déjà impressionnante. L'album propose encore plus de jazz dans ses funky beats, et annonce le virage de 2005, vers des contrées jazz/funk intemporelles.
Tout démarre au mois de Janvier avec la sortie de "Flash & Snowball", signé de Aja West & Cheeba (les deux frangins qui pilotent l'odyssée Mackrosoftienne), épique jazz/funk trempé dans des claviers acides, avant d'exploser au mois d'Avril avec la sortie de "Antonio's Giraffe", qui met enfin tout le monde d'accord: production impeccable, son massif, Skerik, Money Mark (clavier des Beastie Boys), Mike Clark et Paul Jackson (section rythmique des Headhunters/Herbie Hancock) en guests, tracks éminement funk/jazz 70's en hommage à Antonio Carlos Jobim, un Rhowdes omniprésent... bref un classique immédiat de funkitude classieuse. Gageons que Mackrosoft vont continuer à progresser de façon exponentielle et que les premiers pressages des deux nouveaux albums, "Aja West - The Olympian" et "Aja West & Friends - Total Recall 2012", prévus pour la fin de l'année (en mastering en ce moment-même à L.A.!), vont une fois encore partir en quelques jours sur Dustygroove!

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.
