The Pop Group - Words Disobey Me (Dennis Bovell Dub Version)

Mark Stewart's Essential Dubs

Stinky Grooves Guest Archive #003: Adrian Sherwood & On-U Sound Crew 1995

In Adrian's own words this was an anarchic show on an anarchic tour. Technically it's not a Stinky Grooves as we didit on a differnet night to fit them arriving in from the UK and parts unknown. In the studio are Adrian Sherwood, Audio Active, Tackhead/The Maffia minus Mark Stewart who wasn't up for it after 40 odd hours of flying & sundry other folk, studio was cloudy and I think the most crowded I can remember. The sub suffered. Whole crew were shattered and did an amazing job, lovely vibes

Mark Stewart: Secret Thirteen Mix (290)

'Pull up! This is the new style. Flip the script. This one's for the inmates. The process, the process, the process church of the final judgement. Like my life these tunes are crunked, chopped & screwed. A deep listening reflection on this processed world we live in. No sleep till Bristol. As Prince Jazzbo said ‘one step forward, two step backward.’ Let the drums of defiance ring across this land.'

Tracklist

Live at Dolce Vita, Lausanne, Switzerland 25/5/85 Passivecation Program / Hypnotised / Liberty City / The Resistance of The Cell / As The Veneer Of Democracy Starts To Fade / We Are All Prostitutes / Jerusalem / Blessed Are Those Who Struggle / encore...

I actually caught this tour at The Paradiso in Amsterdam. So good. The time I had caught Mark & The Maffia previously it had been the first album's Creation Rebel line up at their first or second gig at Kingston Uni in London.Tackhead having been formed after I left London

...and then I found this. Mark & Maffia playing in Den Haag back in 2009. I actually managed to get my son who was studying in Utrecht at the time onto the guest list for this gig. he dutifuly made it down there and when I asked him how he enjoyed it he replied that it was 'old man music dad'!

Yet another reinvention of sound for them You can hear some of the new tracks on David Asher's On-U Sound Sunday Roast shows
Finally one of the nights that Tackhead destroyed The Old Greek Theatre here in Melbourne on their first Australian tour back in 1989

Don Letts' Culture Clash Radio: The Black Power Playlist

Pluto - Anna / Anna2

Pluto is the moniker of British born producer Rolo McGinty, a name you might not be familiar with. In the early 1990s Rolo was responsible for some of the most forward thinking and exciting records to be released on labels such as Mr. C’s Plink Plonk, Irdial, Octopus and ITP. His albums ‘Rising’ and ‘Demolition Plates’ are unsung examples of some of the finest House and Techno and speak to the creativity and originality of the producer. For WRECKS035, Klasse Wrecks are very proud to present a repress of two of Pluto’s most sought after tracks’. Originally released in 1994 on Rare Grooves (a sub label of USA Import Records) the EP Pluto’s Retreat compromised of two versions of ‘Anna’ both of which are presented here remastered for modern times. ‘Anna’ and ‘Anna Two’ are great examples of House music of the highest quality; brash, groovy and unrelenting both tracks are destined for dancefloor destruction worldwide. Also included in the package is a previously unreleased version of ‘Point Blank’, the original of which appeared on the ‘Demolition Plates’ album in 1997. https://klassewrecks.bandcamp.com/album/anna-ep
