The dreamy, swoony sounds of Vanessa Kendrick’s timeless ‘90% of Me is You’ is ever-present during this stone-cold classic, while Sister Nancy’s unmistakeable ‘Bam Bam’ lends several elements to the mix. Throw in some Skull Snaps and Sweet Charles and you’ve got the perfect soundtrack for a roll call of Large Professor’s nearest and dearest.

Engineered by the late, esteemed Paul C, ‘Think’ is a study in how to turn well-worn samples into something new. ‘Atom’ is arguably even better, built around a brace of elements from Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s 1967 duet ‘Little Ole Boy, Little Ole Girl’. On it, Large Pro gives the first real hints that he’ll not just be a super-producer, but a committed MC to watch.

Revival Season is an exciting new collaboration project featuring Columbus, GA rapper Brandon ‘BEZ’ Evans and Jonah Swilley from Mattiel’s band. The debut single ‘Iron Warrior’ perfectly captures the classic old school style of early 90’s Hip Hop with echoes of the Beastie Boys, Digable Planets and The Pharcyde, with a laid back feel good sound for the summertime.

The track was recorded and produced by Atlanta based musician Jonah Swilley who has worked with Curtis Harding, Night Beats and is a founding member of Mattiel’s band. He also makes music for his own production label, Sugar Records.

JUKEBOX CUT 7” VINYL IN DYNAMITE SOUNDS HOUSE SLEEVE

G.T. Moore might not be a household name but he's recorded with many... Lee Perry at Black Arc, Sly & Robbie at Channel One, and Zap Pow at Harry J’s. He recorded with Johnny Nash (most notably playing guitar on Nash’s Tears on My Pillow) and with X-Ray Spex’s Poly Styrene. He's had his songs covered by Joan Baez, Georgie Fame and Brazilian percussionist Airto Moreira! This double A sided 7” is taken from his 1975 album Reggae Blue album which he recorded for Charisma Records. The vital ‘People (Who Kill People) is sadly just as apt today as it was in 1975, while ‘I Wouldn’t Mind’ is simply a beautiful song.

Legendary Jamaican trombonist Emmanuel "Rico" Rodriguez became a regular contributor to the Two Tone label, recording two albums for the Coventry-based imprint. Both are now 40 years old - hence this reissue of the second, Jama Rico. Unlike its predecessor, That Man's Forward, Jama Rico looks further afield for inspirations, with the trombonist's usual easy-going reggae and ska instrumentals being joined by a handful of tracks that draw inspiration from West African rhythms and spaced-out jazz-funk. As a result, it's arguably one of his most vibrant and interesting solo sets, while the inclusion of the Special AKA on final track 'Easter Island' highlights his link with the Specials (famously, Rodriguez performed on 'Message to You, Rudy').

Check “Destroy Them, Distant Drums, Easter Island” heavyweights!
