Hot Chip (ft. Cadence Weapon) - The Evil That Men Do

OK let me just say that Hot Chip have never really grabbed me perhaps as it was my kids who played them first around the house and to be honest they played a lot of stuff that didn't have that certain 'something'that I need in my music. I could admire their pop cleverness but...

I said as much on Facebook a couple of years ago if not more and an old old London friend of mine said to me to REALLY listen to them. Now I take Mark's recommendations seriously as there are probably quite a few records in your collection that he produced or remixed

But nah I still didn't get them and then this dropped two days ago and is stunning

This certainly has that something...

Whatever that something is

80s Syndrum Roots (Live & Learn Special)

Spotlight on Delroy Wright and his Washington DC-based Live & Learn label. He started off as a producer in the late 70s following the footsteps of his famous brother Hyman (Papa Life) Wright who run the Jah Life label and shop from New York. Both brothers had strong link-ups with JA producers like Junjo Lawes, Linval Thompson, Al Campbell and many affiliated artists and regularly travelled to Kingston in the 80s to book out studios (mainly Channel One) and run sessions. Whilst Jah Life stuck to Roots Radics and Junjo, Delroy was more experimental and diverse, with stand-out artists like Don Carols, Junior Reid, Al Campbell (behind many of the arrangements/compositions), Jr Brammer (AKA Trinity), Michael Prophet and Winston Hussey. This mix focuses on the mid/late 80s productions with heavy use of syndrum
