CLICK HERE TO GET THE SNIPPET When you were young and your birthday was coming up, there was this insane feeling, this hunger for revealing secrets but keeping to the code and waiting for the justified time to take a peak and then rip it all open only for your heart to be conquered by the beauty that hides inside. That’s what I have with some artists and their albums. Joe Kickass is one of them and I have the pleasure of listening to his debut album tonight; let me take you on my journey:

First off, Para might well be our new hero. But what you also need to know is that we're not just some sycophantic, slobbering groupies. We don't throw out accolades like that easily. Hero-status is best achieved through musical excellence and that, ladies and gents, is what we have here. Twelve and a bit perfectly crafted little beauties, laced with soul, funk and blues, along with some of the nicest sampling of drum breaks I've heard come out of the UK in a long, long while. Then he laces them with the sultry vocals of Caitlin and you end up with my new favourite dance-around-the-house-like-a-madman record.

Madlib, his many incarnations and his 4 ton record collection always come with the goods. Too numerous to mention, but you all know the score by now anyway. Well now the Madliberator is in the lab creating a 12 part CD series under the title of "The Medicine Show". Set to be released over the course of 12 months, it will be a collection of his new hip hop production, remixes and beat tapes. Plus soul, funk, Brazilian, psych, jazz and 'other undefined forms of music'.

A few days ago I woke up with quite a hangover, feeling bad. Walked to the front door and there were CD's waiting for me, but also an unannounced 7”inch Para single. While fixin' breakfast I decided to play this Breakin Bread 10 year aniversary celebration record on my kitchen deck which normally is only used for Glenn Miller kinda sounds... I did not expect it to be this good! It absolutely surprised me and improved my mood by a million times. Rescue Me on Side A involves great funky breaks and Motown vocals that made me want to just go back to the house I was at that night and drink all the left over booze and have a private party with my new single. Side B, High Speed Dubbing, carries on where Rescue Me stops, cranks up the tempo and hypes up the solo dancing some more. 7:26 minutes later I returned to my breakfast routine and began the day with a big smile on me face.
