Tickle Me Fancy Bredrin

Working with DJ Spinna for any length of time can only enhance your musical credentials as far as i'm concerned. I first saw Ticklah's name while reading the tracklist of a french compilation album, on which he & Spinna had remixed a Les Nubiens track. That was great stuff & so is this. What i had no idea about, however, was Ticklah's association (& love for) Reggae & Dub. I was expecting some kind of jazz infused, piano laced Hip Hop. But the surprise soon turned to great satisfaction when i heard the quality of the music coming through my headphones. Bar 1 or 2 latin flavoured joints, each track is a testament to the superb Dub sound of yesteryear. When i was younger & still living in a 3 bedroom flat in west London, my uncles room was an epicentre of all things Dub & the rich b-lines & sharp snares i heard then are used with controlled abandon on this album. Plus with Mikey General, Vinia Mojica & Rob Symeonn along for the ride, there's all the more reason for the good people to check this one out.
