Press Release :
The Ubiquity Choices EP series features multiple artists, all exclusive tracks. Tunes are one-off collaborations, exclusive mixes, sneak peaks at future Ubiquity albums and new joints collected from artists around the world. All 100% DJ friendly. This first EP sold out quickly on 12" single, including a track that was featured on MTV's ‘Rob and Big'. Volume II will appear in the new Ubiquity 12" jacket.

Milez Benjiman is brand new talent and his "All The People" is an exclusive cut. Hailing from the 4Lux crew out of Belgium this tasty mid-tempo freaky future soul cut is backed a rough n'rude b-line and electronics for a mix that breaks musical boundaries and should appeal to DJs of all shapes and sizes.
RIYL: SRCP, PPP, Dwele, Prince

This version of Ohmega Watts "Platypus Strut" is an extended re-edit that Ohmega made exclusively for this EP and will not feature on his upcoming 2nd album. It's an instrumental funk meets afrobeat jam that's heavy on percussion and a great floor-filling DJ-tool. Features Todd Simon and Miles Tackett.
RIYL: Antibalas, Fela, Quantic

Radio Citizen's "The Hop" has been the family favorite since it's release on their debut album "Berlin Serengeti". After appearances in TV shows ‘Grey's Anatomy', ‘Sleeper Cell', DVDs ‘Astrisk 2′ and ‘The Truth', the track has also appeared on comps like Putomayos "A New Groove", "A Radio Nova collection" and many more. Here it gets a thorough beat down from Hudson Mohawke, the only artist to appear on both Choices 1 and 2. Apocalytic breaks back arcade-like sounds and Bajka's crazy vocal to create something beyond categorization - Boards of Canada do vocal grime? Erm…
RIYL: BOC, Flying Lotus, Dilla, vintage arcade games.

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.
