Press Release :
This 12" is the first in a new promo series from Tru Thoughts. Aimed at the DJs and music fans who use turntables, the Black Gold series will release upfront tracks and remixes that in the majority are not available on any other format apart from vinyl for at least 4-8 months.

A1: HOT 8 BRASS BAND - "JISTEN TO ME (HINT REMIX)"
One of Hint's best remixes to date with the second part helping Hint secure his yearbook prediction of "most likely to be creating big basslines". Don't forget to check the Hint album 'Driven From Distraction'.

A2: ME&YOU - "LAST NIGHT (BASSNECTAR REMIX)"
Bassnectar DJs to loads of people in the USA and just sent through this remix to Me&You (TM Juke & Robert Luis). It has a massive bassline, so unsurprisingly Tru Thoughts decided it had to be released. Don't forget to check the Me&You album 'Floating Heavy'.

AA1: TM JUKE & THE JACK BAKER TRIO - "PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR BRIGHTON"
Me&You have been playing this track out for quite a few months now and Tru Thoughts have been bombarded with people asking for it. Check the TM Juke & The Jack Baker Trio album 'Boto & The Second Liners'. This track is not on the album though.

AA2: BELLERUCHE - "REFLECTION (TRUS ME REMIX)"
Manchester's Trus Me adds his wonderful deep disco groves to one of the biggest hits from Belleruche's debut album 'Turntable Soul Music'.

Track A1 is available on the download only album 'Hot 8 Brass Band - Remixes'. Track A2 and AA2 will be on the next Shapes compilation album (released on CD at the end of October) and track AA1 is only on vinyl and will be so for at least 6 months.

***Please do not ask for MP3, WAV or CD versions of these tracks….it's Black Gold only***

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.
