03 Leftfield feat Roots Manuva - Dusted
03 Leftfield feat Roots Manuva - Dusted
DJ, Mo' Wax label linchpin, and U.N.K.L.E. architect James Lavelle is an icon for good reason. His ease in dovetailing hip-hop, progressive house, and trip-hop is legendary, and it's part of what makes the two-disc Global Underground: Barcelona compilation such a corker. Thanks to clever mixing, cuts from Mo' Wax protégé DJ Shadow seem right at home next to those by former Stone Roses howler Ian Brown, dub-dancehall king Roots Manuva, brilliant Brit DJs Layo & Bushwacka, and agit-prop rappers Dead Prez. Brown's trippy, staccato "F.E.A.R." is almost a full-blown suite, and fans of U.N.K.L.E.'s Psyence Fiction platter will hear familiar snippets (ditto fans of Shadow's Private Press). The flow never stops as Lavelle scorches through these 30-odd tracks without pausing for breath, showing he is to the Barcelona rave scene what Jose Padilla's Cafe del Mar series was to Ibiza: mind-numbingly cool and absolutely essential. --Kim Hughes
Full Title - Global Underground - Barcelona No. 023. James' revolutionary Global Underground debut which zigzags between dub, hip hop, deadly breaks and beat-driven house-and en route finds a new subversive spirit for electronic dance music. It is quite unlike anything that's appeared on a Global Underground album before! This Limited slimline long box set also contains a booklet with additional pictures of the Barcelona experience! James Lavelle is the guest of honor for the next Global Underground album. Inspired by a trip by James and the GU massive to the beautiful city and nights at venues like Nitsa, this mix is of a different caliber. Includes PC CD-Rom material. 2002.
