Top 5 for the summer
1) Sin Palabras - Salsita
Beautiful
latin voice over some salsa with beats and electronics. Salsa meets
technology. This tune featured on Latin Groove, one of the much
acclaimed Putumayo World Music Compilations
2) Le Peuple de l'Herbe feat. UKApache - No Escape
Massive
jungle tune by one of the best french live bands of the moment,
featuring UK Apache, who collaborated with Nicolette, on vocals.
3) Tanya Stephens - It's a pity (Doctor's Darling Riddim)
Probably
the best jamaican voice of the last decade, the very soulful Tanya
Stephens released this huge hit on this very popular riddim produced in
Germany by Dr Ring Ding.
4) Jim Murple Memorial - Sampson
Jim
Murple Memorial is a revival of the R’n’B/Rocksteady that could be
heard in the Carribean Islands in the early 50s. Their music sounds
like it was composed at the time, giving it a very original sound.
5) Zion Train feat. YT - Life that I Choose
Zion
Train is probably the biggest dub act in UK and visited Limerick
earlier this year. The tune features YT, an MC from London that
collaborated with Morgan Heritage, Bounty Killer and Tanya Stephens to
name a few.
ALL the tracks listed above can be listened to on the artists myspaces/last.fm pages/official websites. Enjoy
