Style 43

***view with caution*** some kid tried inviting me to be friends via Youtube... fate decided that i would press play.... he boast to have written, ...

Yessir, the man is back. After much churning of the rumour mill and a pretty hefty backlash from his fans over his live performances, Daniel Dumile returns with his first solo offering in over four years. The artist formally known as MF DOOM (It's just DOOM these days, all caps...) is back with a vengeance and he's as crazy as ever. Unfortunately there are no advance copies of the full LP up for grabs, but DOOM has personally compiled a five track sampler to whet our appetites and for the record, it's worked a treat.

A global soundclash featuring the heat-streaked beats of the global streets. From London to Lagos, via Lisbon, Lusaka, Bamako and Berlin. A pulse raising voyage to a new world order of hip-hop and highlife, kwaito and kudoro, baille funk and bossa nova, ska, soca and soukous...and retro grooves, contemporary classics and futuristic funk from across the planet. Featuring Eslam Jawaad live! (you can check our review of his single right here.) From his stint in the Lebanese mafia to touring the world with The Good, The Bad And The Queen and the Wu-Tang, Eslam Jawaad is about to drop "The Mammoth Tusk" a record that should see his star continue to rise high into 2009. A unique talent who manages to create a groove laiden, diverse backdrop to a voice and lyric that needs to be heard. DJs on the night: Italia 90 (Get Cape Wear Cape Fly & The Last Skeptik), Ritual Beating System and Scribe (Africa Express).
