I've a wide taste in music but especially modal jazz, reggae (I do some reggae DJ'ing), drum n bass, British and Australian punk, new wave and indie, soul, funk and lots inbetween

I am a reggae moderator and happy to give any help or advice on reggae submissions - just email me.

Also do some writing about boxing at 15rounds.com

None of my music is for sale. Cheers!

Something wrong with this pressing. I have to run up the speed to over 34RPM for it to sound even half decent but it still sounds as though its a cassette being played on a player running out of batteries. No - its not my equipment. It just sounds awful

I have this version, but the plastic shrink wrap had the sticker "Rough Trade coloured vinyl, limited edition of 500 copies, hand numbered" on it. And it was priced as such. So watch out for that. Given the current state of global postal services its not ... See full review

Umm, I am not really sure what the point of this was. Its a lot of noodling around, pleasant enough I suppose, but very rarely lands anywhere. Disappointing

2019 was such a vintage year that we are already into the second quarter of 2020 and I am still listening to 2019 releases for the first time. And this one was worth the wait. Cleanly percussive soundscapes, ambient yet driving and purposeful. Its really ... See full review

Quite surprised more people haven't got this - maybe in a year of great releases it just got missed. But this is an excellent record, quiet, reflective and soulful. Side A is particularly good, especially "Twenty Eight"

My copy comes in a plastic sleeve, with a barcode 5060670888310 . Is this a repress? Just acquired, March 2020

A wonderful record, at the cutting edge of what's possible in a loosely defined "jazz" genre. Remarkable virtuosity and creativity

Strong contender for album of the year. So primal, so lyrical it just moves you. Superb. But virtually everything on IARC does that - its a label totally on its game

Its quite extraordinary the variety and quality of the music that the "I'm New Here" sessions have produced. I really liked the original album and the Jamie XX remixes, but this takes it to a whole new level

Pretty sure this is a different "Zorg" though. There is nothing about this on Bruno Schmidt's facebook

This really is an excellent record. Smoky, sultry, understated and hypnotic. A late entry for Top 10 of 2019

Same for me. I thought there was some sort of marbling effect on the record, but no, its ink thats rubbed off. Great music though as you say

A relective, dreamy record, like a pebble rippling in a crystal-clear brook. Whilst being proper music, not new agey drivel

It seems a shame that I seem to be the only person who has this, because its one of my favourite records of the year. Wonderfully fluid and ... liquid. An all round pleasure
posted a comment on Kamaal Williams - DJ-Kicks. 6 months ago
This is a very nice mix indeed. Alright so its got a lot of Kamaal Williams / Henry Wu's own work on it, 8 tunes in fact, and I already had all of these, but it flows funkily and generally works.
