An evening reflecting on change, losses, missteps, new direction.

I do want to believe in some weird way that life's losses can send us to where we were meant to end up even when change is difficult & the way forward uncertain.

#NewRelease #NewMusic from the 2nd album that's coming from Tropic Vibration. They fuse a lot of styles, plenty to enjoy in their tracks.

This time around they've added to their signature funky upbeat blend of reggae, atmospheric EDM/Dubstep elements & (spanish) guitar with pan pipes too.

I enjoy their Future Roots album btw, maybe check it out if this is your groove.

It's 1990, and a gateway single to the Madchester scene for a lot of people was this track. I might still recall the code to the jukebox I'd play it on.

Norman Cook did a remix-lite little tidy around on the track in 2003 that mostly just punched up the production a little.

A year ago I started a little personal #Fedi project to every week share #newRelease music + a variety of older tracks from all sorts of eras & genres too.

I called it #BearTracks for my own humour & just to sort of see what I was doing.

It's over 500 tracks now. Lots of good music, quite a bit you might not have heard.

I keep a playlist too, which can be found here:

Yes mate! Get in. Dookie is 1 of the evocative moment in time and stuck with me albums personally. I bought it on LP and played it tons. Then I bought it on CD & played it in the car too. Takes me back & still enjoy.

Grimey London pt. VIII

1998 So wtf is a manc rock rap group doing in a london grime segment?

Big shift from US style and flow, bringing more UK regional delivery in to UK rap. Rock rap hiphop acts like Dust Junkys in the 90s were rare, but laid groundwork for expanding the range of the UK scene similar to say Bodycount or RunDMC did for diversifying rap rock hiphop in the states. Creating more attention & space for breakaway sounds.

The Dust Junkys sound was really fresh for most listeners when it first hit UK.
