“On their own productions this nonchalant, occasionally chaotic octet of musicians have a natural knack for producing quality dance music, a trait that is ever present on this 19 track musical odyssey. In typical Back to Mine fashion this mix is a melting pot of musical styles fused together with great studio prowess. Opening with the Maurice Fulton produced ‘Lets Get Sick’ this mix instantly pricks up the listeners ears before moving into some serious punk funk courtesy of 80’s Rough Trade favourites Maximum Joy. The late great J Dilla covers just a smidgen of the hip hop on here before leading into Rammelzee’s electro classic ‘Beat Bop’. Jack Wilson adds some carnival flavour whilst Bodysnatch and Unique 3 inject some old skool rave before taking it all down a notch. The Sylvers and Kid Creole add a touch of vintage soul, The Fearless Four start the uprock for those partial to a windmill or two followed by the sugar sweet voices of Leon Ware and Carroll Thompson who lead into Earth, Wind & Fire’s aptly titled climax ‘The Departure’.”

If you listened to last week’s Hospital Records podcast, you heard a preview of High Contrast’s new single: “An inspired drum & bass interpretation of Iron Butterfly’s 17 minute rock odyssey of the same name, High Contrast wrestles with rock legend and sculpts it into his own twisted twenty-first century classic.”  You can get the 12″ here.  The entire album comes out October 1.
