Enough talking about Japan for a minute… back to what I enjoy most aside from food.
Here’s a little list of the albums and other bits that have soundtracked my time in the country and before in the last few months… in no particular order but most definitely all very much recommended.
Kode 9 & Spaceape - Memories of the Future - Hyperdub
Heavily recommended debut album from Mr 9. Floating somewhere on all its own, on a carpet of a sub bass.
Busdriver - Roadkillovercoat - Epitath
Busdriver teams up with Nobody and Boom Bip on production, resulting in something that is truly excellent. Hip hop like they don’t do it no more.
dDamage - Shimmy Shimmy Blade - Tsunami Addiction
Duuuurty French electro-crunk-hop-madness.
TTC - 3615 - Big Dada
More French electro-crunk-hop-madness.
New Vex’D bits - Planet Mu and unreleased
Dancefloor destruction…
DJ Krush - Self Remixed Best Of vol 1 and 2 - Sony
The zen master himself. The drum programming on these two albums is off the hook.
O N O - Six Months at Outside Staird - Tha Blue Herb Recordings
More Japanese instrumentalism…
Amon Tobin - Foley Room - Ninja Tune
I was never one for Amon Tobin before but this album is worth the repeated listens.
Teeko - My Soundstation - FourOneFunk
All that scratching was making me bored. This is making me nod.
Foreign Beggars - Stray Point Agenda - Dented Records
The first UK hip hop album to get me really excited since Skitz’ ‘Countryman’.
Trojan Records - Dub Box Set in 3 volumes
Wind up yu waist!
Clutchy Hopkins - The Life of Clutchy Hopkins
L.A beats.
Existereo & Deeskee - Hopeless Crooks with Hopeless Books
West coast hip hop with a twist.
Big up Trick and Waxfactor for hooking some of this up!
