BIG DADA Update
Time to get rollin with some UK Hip Hop news. No better place to start than South London's finest BIG DADA records. A sub-label of Ninja Tune and home to Roots Manuva,TY and Infinite Livez amongst many others, Big Dada continues to stick two fingers up to the music industry by thinkin outside of the box with underground sounds and experimental beats. Big up Big Dadadadadada.....
Roots Manuva
Sources have revealed that Mr Manuva has an army of the illest producers currently workin on some remixes from him, including Madlib and The Soft Pink Truth (one half of Matmos). Watch this virtual square for Roots Manuva, and let's keep our cold Autumnal fingers crossed that he'll be hittin da South with some shows in the new year. (Plllleeeaaassse?!!!!!!)
DIPLO
Diplo... yeah the geez is a yank but we'll allow him cos he's on a South London label and makes wicked beats. Currently workin on beats for Kano (679 Records) and M.I.A (Xl Recordings), Diplo fuses electro beats with delicate instrumentals and samples that you'll ponder over for ages. His latest work of art is the long awaited Florida LP which although largely instrumental album is blessed by vocals from Vybez Cartel and P.E.A.C.E. (the Freestyle Fellowship legend). I've heard a preview and it's HEAVY. Catch him in Europe in October with Mr Scruff and Dj Food.
Florida LP is out now. Click Here for sound bites and further info.
TY
(Is it just me, or is TY like the sensible Uncle of the Hip-Hop World?) So he didn't win the Mercury Music Prize, but at least that means he'll avoid the much talked about curse of the Mercury Music Prize (which is a load of pony cos Roni Size is still around aint he?!).
Anyway, Big Dada have released a download single. "Look 4 Me," (a recent contribution to Giles Peterson's* "Worldwide Exclusives" compilation), "Sophisticated & Coarse" and even a video of TY and his band doing the "Look 4 Me" thing live at the Montreux Festival this summer. If you are a fan of the talents of the ridiculously great Eska (Ty's wicked backing singer) as well as Ty himself, you'll want the lot. It's available via: http://downloads.7digital.com/downloads/ty/default.asp?partner=135

* Did anyone else know that Giles Peterson has a WHOLE HOUSE just for his record collection? Madness...
