ADTRAX 40 – Sufferin’ Succotash

New Robert Glasper album this month, it’s a bit hit and miss as with most of the Experiment studio records, but there are a couple of blinders including the joyous ‘I Stand Alone’ which manages to be mighty mighty despite Common’s usual lazy lyricism. Good job that dude has cadence super powers.

Big month for quality Hip Hop Albums. So many more incredible producers out there compared to rappers at the moment, too much throw away content and not enough realness. Thankfully though, no need to aim the vicious teeth of that particular bug bear in the direction of Jonwayne whose ‘Rap Album One’ is chock full of belters. Also this month some funny ass story-telling courtesy of Verb T and Quelle Chris and a-brace-yourself biggun from Cise Star & Blu who go nuts deep over some ridiculously mournful last post beat by P.R.

Last 31 days at adtrax HQ has been one epic rewind session on the new Spacedtime album ‘Spaces’. There are two tracks here, showcasing the dude’s ridiculous feel for genre-splicing. Heavy, raw, emotional electronic business, no doubt but fk me if I didn’t have a right old footwork session to it in my lounge last week. Legendary East Anglian rididims!

Slow dance section is out of control this time around – with new music from Dornik, Long Arm, Anthony Hamilton and the Benny Tones, even Om Unit has enlisted the mighty Jinadu from Beauty Room to add some introspection to his drum weight.

Basically it’s all bumper no filler culminating in the Kodak Cameo/Saint Pepsi edit which sounds like Twilight Sparkle (from My Little Pony crew) playing out at Fabric. Impossible to ward off of the tune though, believe me I’ve tried a trance exorcism. No luck – Reverend Hucklebuck left mine covered in glitter on the Friendship Express Train.

Best of 2013 coming soon, plus couple of special shows and rumour has it Six and I might actually get time to do a sequel to the now mythical ‘No one beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times’ Mixtape for WYWRadio.

S’it Peace
