13.10

In a similar vein to Kwes almost - very talented & promising producer from the few bits and pieces I've been lucky enough to hear so far. Single release due soon & LP dropping next year on XL I believe. On a related note, also def worth checking the new James Blake EP. Been on heavy rotation. His cdr LP sampler doing the rounds is worth hunting down too...

London's Unique 3 - Feel It (Two Step Mix) (Mixtape Rip) (1999) [Info]

Ripped from an old garage mix but anyone have a good quality, full mp3 of this by any chance? Used to have a vinyl copy in my 'uk garage days' but got rid of it years back...still holds some fond memories. Can't find it anywhere...

No Need To Run EP is a must if not already purchased. Said it before but this guy is destined for big things. One of the most talented/gifted producers around...IMHO

Linda Di Franco - T.V. Scene (Sensurround Mix) (1985) [Buy]
