The Popular Peoples Front

Really diggin these guys, haven't be able to stop the foot tappin and neck noddin, infectious grooves to say the least! A group of anonymous musicians/DJ's who have been adding there bit of Oomph to some lost gems. To add more weight to the name, The Popular People's Front ONLY realease vinyl. So if you see it for sale digitally "then somebody is ripping off our ripped off music, which is a copyright and philosophical mindfield mindfield, to say the least".

The Popular Peoples Front - I'll Make Your Day

Alice Coltrane - Something About John Coltrane

Been jamming this album a lot lately, Alice Coltrane definately had the goods. Really diggin the whole eastern blues vibe, kinda feels like you've been through some religious experience after it. Plus it makes for good listening while im puffin on the ol greenery.

Shit is deep son.

Tony Toca

Tony Touch's "The Peacemaker" is one of those classic heavy boom bap LP's that you can keep coming back to and find new gems. Been digging this one alot lately, could be the onset of summer...
on another note shouts to Dizz 1 and the whole Fredericks, Ol'Dip, exD, Flava and Slomo crews for tearing up studionine on sat, big night.
