Ticklah<\/b> : Si Hecho Palante<\/b> & Nine Years<\/b> Amp Fiddler<\/b> : Scared \/ Afro Butt (Interlude)<\/b> Black Moth Super Rainbow<\/b> : Sun Lips<\/b> & Rollerdisco<\/b> Of course I love old and dusty vinyl, but I also feel obliged to share the recent highlights from my iPod. Here’s proof that the same things I’ve always loved about records are still thriving in some lesser-known releases. Deep dubby dynamics meets soulful spanish songstress in “Si Hecho Palante”<\/b> – that’s Mayra Vega<\/b> on vox, same lady who voiced the Antibalas remake of “Che Che Cole”<\/b>. Ticklah<\/a>, who some may know from his participation in Afrobeat supergroup Antibalas<\/b> or his hand in producing “Dub Side Of The Moon”<\/a>, is one of the nastiest reggae & dub producers out there right now. Any fans of King Tubby & Scientist<\/b> absolutely need to buy this album<\/a>.<\/p>\n Once again, Amp Fiddler<\/a> comes through with funky fuel for the dancefloor. The new album features guest vocalists Corrine Bailey Rae & Stephanie McKay<\/b> among others. “Scared \/ Afro Butt”<\/b> is apparently only on the US edition of the album, so you foreigners are getting the exclusive import edition!<\/p>\n Finally, perhaps the album that I’ve had on repeat in it’s entirety more than any other this year (this was my Eurorail soundtrack) – “Dandelion Gum”<\/b>. This music is a bizarre and enchanting cloud of sound that disorients me and pulls me away from the ground every time I listen. The album, which I highly reccommend copping<\/a>, is a non-stop, vocoder-infused (or is it a talkbox?), dream sequence. These two tracks go back to back, to give you an idea of how the whole record flows. I see on the group’s website<\/a>, that they have other records too, which I will now proceed to order.
