Press Release :
zerodB return with a punishing Braziliano-dub dancefloor filler and the world will never seem quite the same again. "A Pombo Girou" combines disorientating echo with ridiculously fat electronic bass stylings and the kind of rhythm designed to get the hips twitching. Second track "Te Quiero" continues the theme, this time a sunny piece of guitar driven mad by a hundred conga players. Building with all the beautiful self-evidence of classic house music, zerodB manage to throw a variety of influences into the blender and come out with something pumped up and downright evil enough to blow away any of the froth which usually passes for latin-influenced dance music.

Since they started properly working together some 6 years ago, Chris Vogado and Neil Combstock aka zerodB have been concocting a provocative, innovative and addictive brew of hard jazz, electro, latin, hip hop and house, laced throughout with their now signature dirty, heavy basslines. After releasing their early records on Vogado's own Fluid Ounce label, Zero dB are now signed to Ninja Tune and ready to step it up, with their debut album, "Bongos, Bleeps and Basslines" scheduled for release in September. Their main starting point is usually jazz, but they dip into a multitude of different influences and work with talented musicians and vocalists to create a track. In contrast to the general climate of somewhat old, tired, formulaic and unmemorable dance music, zero dB's meticulous production forces their audiences to discover previously undeveloped musical places. Feel it.

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.
