ima ceo album sa reggae obradama Nirvane!

 

Released to coincide with the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's Nevermind, Battle For Seattle is a reggae take on 10 of the band's classic tracks. As with previous mope-meets-dope experiments such as Dub Side Of The Moon and Radiodread, it seems destined to lie alongside plastic grinders, fire poi and vague anti-capitalist rhetoric in your local trustafarian's flat. Yet fortunately the quality and richness of the arrangements mean that even the biggest snob will crack a wry smile on hearing, say, Lithium retooled as sunlit ska.

Nirvana's songs have been iried up by Prince Fatty, the alter-ego of British producer Mike Pelancoli, who has previously worked with reggae artists such as Dennis Alcapone and Winston Francis. Battle For Seattle features a host of old-school Jamaican talent, from Wailers guitarist Junior Marvin to Little Roy (AKA Earl Lowe), the veteran singer whose name headlines the project.

Philadelphia DJs lil'dave (Illvibe Collective) and Personify (Little Big Things) have joined forces to bring you Gotcha Covered - a genre bending mega-mix of covers songs from the mid-60s to the present. With more than 35 years of DJing and music collecting between them, these fellas dug deep in their collections to pull tracks for Gotcha Covered and spent months mixing, cutting and blending together more than 90 covers spanning Funk, Soul, Jazz, Afrobeat, Latin, Bossa Nova, Boogaloo, Reggae, Steel-Drum Band, Brass Band, R&B and Hip-Hop, to name a few. From the super rare to the under-appreciated and forgotten to the more common cover versions, Gotcha Covered offers up something for the serious digger and the casual listener alike. If you love good music, stop what you're doing, grab a copy of the mix, and prepare to be taken on a tour of some of funkiest and most soulful covers ever laid down. And sorry - no track listing...gotta do your own homework for this one!
