I have to second this recommendation, I have been playing Luomo heavily, this is a must for fans of Main Street Records or you early Chez and Trent fans -- who are wondering where you can scratch that itch with newer artists (besides the Playhouse and Perlon catalogs). I love the vocals that creep in and out of the murky dubbed-and-dialed-out deep house. And it's a triple-pack so you can mix and match this stuff forever, each track is like 12 minutes long... Also I am way into the other stuff Tom C. & Marsel have been reviewing, the Bitasweet, IG Culture and Mainsqueeze/Bugz in the Attic tip, but I skew towards the more electronics-infused stuff than the real way out "pure fusion" afrobeat stuff... which gets too wanked out for me, personally. People in Detroit looking for the west london / broken beat stuff (i.e. - 2000 Black and various Dego abstract projects of late, like what he was spinning at DEMF) should check out DJ Supply in (yes, Warren!?). Brian go-go Gillespie is doing the buying and the selection is not gigantic but what's there is QUALITY... all the stuff Goya distributes. And there are surprises in the bins like old Roy Ayers reissues for the headz who want to go back that far... Other stuff I can't put down right now: -- CiM - reference LP (DeFocus) -- V/A - Laws of Motion compilation -- V/A sampler and Sonar Lodge 12's on Music for Speakers -- Cheateau Flight - Puzzle (Versatile) - beautiful & thoughtful music -- Nubian Mindz - New World Chaos (Archive) so UR insipred! Brillaint -- Soul Circut - Don't Spoil the Tension, soundtrack -- Mafia Sound System (Dialog? / Sonar Kollektiv) weird spooky brokenbeat also heard a wicked 10" on Plug Research but forgot the title... (Mr. Moto?), when did this originally come out? Everything coming out of Rush Hour distribution lately seems red hot too. peace -- Matt MacQueen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.reverbmag.com archived radio shows --> http://macqueen.com/radio
