Legendary selector/compiler Lil Toby with a Lovers rock special for TTT, a label he helped kick off with some of its earliest, choicest numbers.

‘Lovers’ lays down 69 minutes of syrupy sweet vocals and well-oiled, downstroke grooves for reggae romantics with a heart in its early ’80s UK sound. By this point Lil Toby tapes are a buy-on-sight affair, and this one is set to be right up there with his most cherished.

End to end he draws for the slowest, most luxurious strains of the sound that paralleled US soul and R&B with a laid-back JA-UK steez, flush with blushing synths and always locked to a slow sway, most often defined by lyrical themes of love and loss in a crooning style that would help it transcend roots in the UK’s Afro-Caribbean communities to become a prized and precious example of how reggae mutated on these shores.

Aye, you can go whistle for the track-list until some fiend puts them all up online, meantime simply nice up yourself and ease off into Toby’s flawless run of picks for timeless pleasures.

Thanks Boomkat!

“Arch underground agitant and astringent Wanda Group wears his British Museum badge for a wickedly grouchy and absorbing rummage around his viscera for key patrons TTT

Notably absent from the conventional release schedule for years now, Essex-via-Huddersfield’s electronic collagist and iconoclast Wanda Group has nevertheless been prolific in issuing tranches of the rawest, home-brew crud ranging rom janky Jandek or G. Lambkin-esque jams thru to more elusive electronics on his tod. ’SATAN IS A ROOF OVER MY HEAD’ coughs up 16 gritty morsels made under his newest alias BRITISH MUSEUM that fall into the fissures of DIY concrète and ambient bilge, following his nose off-the-cuff from what sounds like pocket-dialled recordings thru to melting rhythmic anarchorganisms akin to NYZ’s algorithmic experiments.

Never knowing what to expect next, tracks buckle and collapse in fits and inexplicable shapes, variously touching on trampled industrial, barbed earfloss, a class bout of Actress-like funk skudge (‘FLEA WORSHIP’), Nomex style dub noise (‘DOYBLE P L’), to revel in pure textural grot on ‘DOUBLE LEAGUE’, and a thrumming post-punk goth stepper ‘VOICE SQUATTING DUB’. Go on.”

Thanks, Boomkat!
