Hear no evil, luciano evil
tim wright - the ride (luciano’s dancehall mix) (mp3)
something from the top shelf today … now now, nothing rude, top-shelf is my term for records bought once upon a time that don’t get to see much needle-time anymore. it might be back of the box or bottom of a pile for other people, but as you can see from my set up it’s easiest putting things you don’t listen to often up above head height, hence “top-shelf” - not just a clever name!
this is another techno destroyer from luciano, nailing the minimal paradox of a track doing very little but still managing blowing your head clean off. i’d be tempted to stick my neck out and tell you it’s all down to that xylophone, but there’s so many little production quirks that if anything was missing it just wouldn’t be right. i first heard after damian lazerus dropped it as his opening track at a party celebrating the launch of hiscrosstown rebels project. the big divider on this track is the rap - i personally love it, but it seems to split people down the middle and can ruin the whole thing for some.
shit, if i can find something this good in the record room by accident, i wonder what could turn up after a proper root? hopefully more to come!
oh and we’re bringing in some new blood here at bff, my good friend rob, professionally educated in hip-hop (and that’s the honest truth), wil hopefully be posting sometime this week. i’m sure you’ll all be nice to him ….

jonny added these pithy words on Feb 07 07 at 9:05 pmI like it, it reminds me of my days in detroit back in th early nineties me and derek may and some of the other UR chaps used to hang out and play risk or sometimes scrabble, they was rubbish at both.
jonny added these pithy words on Feb 07 07 at 9:32 pmBy the way am i allowed to get in drunk and give the new boy crap? Or what?
Marc added these pithy words on Feb 07 07 at 9:50 pmWas a massive record for me a few years ago. One of those records that people weren’t sure of on a cold week day in a record store but one that makes perfect sense at 4am on a Saturday night.
Kev added these pithy words on Feb 08 07 at 8:26 amsure jonny - go nuts - I heard carl craig was a pretty mean monopoly player, any truth in that?
marc - totally agreed. mainly because at 4am on a saturday night there’d be more than just the caffeine of a cold weekday morning running through your system …
Marc added these pithy words on Feb 18 07 at 8:14 pmKev, I have no idea what you’re talking about. My body is a temple and all that.
enimateK added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 12:29 amYour records are in the sunlight! I’d cover that sun shit up if I was u. Nothing worse than warped records
Kev added these pithy words on Nov 21 07 at 10:20 amhaha yeah you’re right, but just off camera to the right is a set of blinds, which i normally keep pointing the other way!
