hooray they say as the email comes through
i can't believe he waited til the last day of june
but alas here it is and its bound to be great
cause its time to unleash the next mongos mixtape
i know you're all very excited by this news and i must admit that i have truly outdone myself on this one. each track is a super tune in its own right and when so lovingly put together they meld into a seamless mix of musical mongoness.
There is a nice selection of quality hip hop with the crackin new single from the hilltops, a deep rhythmic cut from the new mos def album (a definite top 10 album for 2009) and some classic j dilla beats. Some wackiness floats by in the form of Das Racist with a truly catchy little ditty that makes me smile and kotchy's take on a jamie lidell styled electro funk is a grower.
Mongo takes you to the club with Zombie disco squad and the shoulder shrugging tune The Dance while Untold (this guys is going to be BIIIIIG!!) comes good on the twitchy remix of revenue. Major Lazer are diplo n switch in Jamaica pop out some serious raggatown beats - they are playing the monday at notting hill carnival, hopefully for red bull, and i will be at the front going fully sick.
The pride a joy of this mixtape comes in the form of an epic 10minute masterpiece from the new fat freddys drop album. Shiverman sees the drop delve into almost dub-techno territory that builds slowly but surely with the crackin horns signaling a truly awesome crescendo of kiwi goodness. I can listen to this song over and over like its a 2 minute punk track - its glory seems to transcend time and place. essential.
