So.. the announcement was made after a long deliberation between the judges (Jonny Cuba, Audessey, Ollie Teeba, No Sleep Nigel and DJ Cro (that’s the UK DJ Cro, to avoid any confusion)). Yeah, so anyways, I came in third place, which means I’m one of the three winners of this little competition.. good stuff!
First place was snatched by Ashoke aka Boom Op, and second place by Ajuda (got no link for Ajuda.. sorry). Check the tunes in the player below!
As you might hear my tune is a little bit different here compared to the one I put up a couple of weeks ago, nothing major tho… and of course check Soundsci (buy the album.. it’s great!), Crate Escape Records & DJ Cro’s blog. Cheers!
Thought it was about time I made another album recommendation, here we go…
SoundscisDig For Victory
Peep the tune The Remedy..
I ordered it a while back but hadn’t gotten round to listening to it properly until yesterday, and man, it rocks. True school hip-hop (or whatever you wanna call it) galore. I highly recommend that y’all grab this gem on vinyl before it’s sold out. You’ll still be able to grab the digital release if it is tho.. but vinyl is vinyl. You can preview all the tracks over at their bandcamp page.
Buy the Digital Release here or the CD & Vinyl here.
Here’s an excerpt from the release notes…
Soundsci is the brainchild of Jonny Cuba (One half of now disbanded Dynamic Syncopation) and Audessey (Founding member of Mass Influence) after collaborating previously on numerous occasions for Ninja Tune (Ground Zero, Dedicated, Systematic and 2 Tha Left), they kept in touch and continued making music together. As more tracks were recorded and friends Ollie Teeba (Herbaliser), U-George, and Therapy got brought into the mix it made sense to make an ep rather than single and the “Dig For Victory EP” was born. As a bonus track we are honoured to include an older track produced by Audessey featuring Jax from Binkis who unfortunately passed away last year and Reality. Using their b-boy ethics while not getting caught up in the past it thumps hard and reminds you why you love hip-hop.
The EP is limited to 275 hand numbered red vinyl ep’s and 10 test pressings on black vinyl with individual artwork never to be repressed. The first 100 standard copies come with a CD of all the tracks and bonus folder with instrumentals, acapellas and remix competition.
