Jammer - Party Animal
(Download) Big Dada BDDNL157, 2010-01-11
At last the Murkle Man returns and he's JUMPING. Jammer has been a fixture, pioneer and founding father of the Grime scene since its inception. Now signed to Big Dada Recordings, the Leytonstone MC and producer has teamed up with Toddla T and the resulting track is pure energy! A track set to lay waste to Christmas office parties, hen nights, stag nights, pub piss-ups, underground clubs, children's tea parties, old folks' home knees ups and so-fly hipster gatherings, Party Animal shows Jammer at his least serious, his most relaxed and funny. It's a tune solely about having fun and Jahmek Power is having it large. With remixes from Boy Better Know (featuring JME, C-Gritz and Frisco) plus a whole series of dancefloor re-rubs from the hot-as-hell Hardhouse Banton, this is just the first small step which will lead up to the release of Jammer's debut album on Big Dada in May 2010.

Speech Defect - Happy Hunting
(CD) No Cool Music NCMCD003, 2009-02-12
This fan-tas-tic Hip Hop album was released earlier this year... alas not in France! One may wonder why, cos' it's even better than their previous classic Come For Da Funeral!! Tracks like What U Got, Ice Cream Truck, Happy Hunting feat. the Pharcyde, I Want Horror or Ghostin' would please all the funky b-boys, if played on the radio or released on a glorious 12 inch... So don't stop yourself at the stupid-ish cover artwork and grab a copy of this CD, you might not see it again in a long time.
"Speech Defect's 3rd album released in 2009 (European press with 17 tracks). Featuring artists like The Pharcyde, Kissey Asplund and Jid Sames. Singles from the album are Ice Cream Truck and What U Got. Happy Hunting to the people,, now!" - speechdefect.com
The CD is available at the Superfly Records store in Paris.

Speech Defect - Come For Da Funeral, Stay For Da Food
(import CD) No Cool Music NCMCD002, 2007-01-23
This 2007 album Come For Da Funeral, Stay For Da Food was one of the best Hip Hop records of the year, sadly only available on CD, and not available in France at all. It includes the supa-funky Superfuture Remix feat. Ugly Duckling, Whyled Out! and Cut It Loose feat. Aaron Phiri of Hearin' Aid, among others... For example, starting with a slowed-down Marlena Shaw sample, the same one St Germain used repeadtly on his Rose Rouge track, Hang Up's is a driving funk'n'breakbeats piece...
"Speech Defect's super dope, 2nd album released in 2007 ( European press with 17 tracks). Featuring artists like Ugly Duckling, Thes One of People Under The Stairs, Abdominal, Aaron Phiri of Hearin' Aid and Samoo. Be sure to pick up this classic album before it's time for your own funeral.." - speechdefect.com
The CD is available at the Superfly Records store in Paris.

Blockhead - The Music Scene
(CD/Download) Ninja Tune ZENCD149/ZENDNL149, 2009-11-02
New York hip hop producer Tony Simon aka Blockhead returns with his third and best instrumental album for Ninja Tune. Blockhead has long made beautiful, emotive music based around the hip hop template, but on The Music Scene he elevates his craft to another level. Tony puts it down to the use of Ableton, which means that rather than working from "one basic beat and building off it" (the standard hip hop model), he has begun stringing together multiple beats and weaving them together into increasingly complex, surprising and satisfying pieces of music. As he himself puts it, "I made each song a little more of a musical journey than anything I have ever done before."
