the guy produces so much and a lot of it did sound so similar that it was hard to differentiate between releases. just think the stuff on 7th city stood out more. 7th city seems like a mythical label now. remember walking into a now long defunct record store in dublin and they had a dj set-up and the guy was playing a track off his 2nd 12" on 7th city. walked straight up to the counter and said i'll have one of those, please.
but you've reminded me of a lot of other stuff that he put out. like on mosaic (which i have somewhere). also, his album and releases on (de)focus with the divine styler rhyming and his mother (that right?) singing on them.
