The latest instalment of BBE’s Kings Of series is quite possibly the best mixes of Drum ‘N’ Bass i’ve heard in he last few years. My long term favourites 4Hero provide the niceness on disc 1, while DJ Marky gets busy on the 2nd episode. The double disc isn’t released until Feb 2010 and apparently some of the joints on here are brand new. I have however made a few minutes...
This is...expansive, ethereal, cosmic soul. And Soulpersona is originally from from Wales! Well, there's lovely for you! Appealing to fans of 4Hero, our man, Soulpersona, treats our ears to a chilled set of songs that bodes us well for the coming new decade. Exemplifying this further, if you really warmed to the more futuristic, sensual modes of soul on Marva King's latest set (think "Lovely")...

○○○○● THIS latest LP from 4hero extends the group's back catalogue to nine albums - and as you'd expect with so much under their belts this is pretty slick stuff. Taking the group's ascent from pioneering early drum and bass through their chill out phase - which gained the group a Mercury Prize nomination for Two Pages - to their more jazzier efforts to the next natural...
I can't front. I honestly have not been up on Jody Watley's most recent audible offerings post-'80s bustier-petticoat-big hair loveliness. I was surprised she had a song with 4Hero, "Bed Of Roses", that stayed on repeat so much that had...
Well, I think thats it from me for now, the poisoners back monday as usual. Hope you’ve enjoyed some of the posts and thanks to those of you who posted and commented yourselves. Have a good weekend and take it easy….
Ok so while we figure out what we're gonna do on the next 4hero album (2010 fingers crossed) we have a little something for you to deal with in the mean time. EXTENSIONS wasn't really planned, it just happened. On my DJ travels around Europe I kinda put the idea out to a few artists and they came back with positive vibes and interest, add a few new cats that I found through FB and Myspace and we have...
