Title Dub Echoes
Label Soul Jazz
This monster double CD is a lightning journey through Dub featuring Jamaican originators such as King Tubby, Lee Perry, Prince Jammy and Bunny Lee, alongside electronic futurists and Dubstep artists such as Kode9, Harmonic 313 (Warp) and LV (Hyperdub), as well as hip hop pioneer Roots Manuva and original junglist Congo Natty. Musical worlds collide as Francois Kervorkian meets Jamaican DJ legend U-Roy, and German techno giants Rhythm & Sound meet Cornell Campbell.
This album is a celebration of all things Dub and related, featuring rare classics alongside new tracks from the pioneers and futurists of this electronic musical form.

Title Fly Girls! - B Boys Beware: Female Rap (2CD)
Label Soul Jazz

 ‘Fly Girls!’ celebrates the 30th anniversary of female rap on record!

This double-CD (and limited edition two volumes of super-loud double-vinyl) narrates the story of female rap from its birth in the tenement block parties in New York City’s outer boroughs through to the dizzying career heights of Queen Latifah, Missy Elliott and other modern day power brokers. ‘Fly Girls!’ also discusses the influence of an earlier generation of black female poets whose ideals (both in their art and how they established career paths) helped lay the foundations for birth of the genre.

Title Unsound
Label Epitaph
Remember those Punk-o-Rama compilations? Well they’ve changed the name to Unsound. Personally I prefer Punk -o- Rama, just like I prefer the name Marathon to Snickers, but we can’t stand in the way of change. Anyway, enough of that, the cheap as compilation has a wide selection of Punk, EMO, Screamo and Hardcore. Here comes the science though, the compilations now have some HIP-HOP too, now I see why they cant call them Punkorama.There’s also a free DVD with 10 music videos. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey.
