Tricky
Guests on the album will include Franky Riley, Terry Lynn, Bobby Gillespie, Hamadouche, Blackman, and Tricky’s brother Marlon Thaws.

“Every album is a learning experience and this is concentrated music, there’s no dilution. I’m comfortable in my own skin now, comfortable with being in the light. I’m not just a kid from Knowle West trying to build a future, I have some experience, I can experiment, I can be honest, and honestly, musically, I can’t be touched. I used to hide in the shadows when I played live, now I perform. I used to hate doing interviews, now I feel honoured that people would be interested in what I have to say. I’ve spent my life going between cultures; Mixed Race is about that, and in a very direct way.”

Tracklist:
1. Every Day
2. Kingston Logic
3. Early Bird
4. Ghetto Stars
5. Hakim
6. Come To Me
7. Murder Weapon
8. Time To Dance
9. Really Real
10. Bristol To London

The first single from the album, “Murder Weapon” has already been released and is available on Soundcloud.

Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan was and is still very much considered to be the greatest Qawwal (singer of Qaw
wali music) in the world; not only recognized as a legend in his native Pakistan he also took his musical messages of peace, love and spirituality to the international stage, earning him the title of Pakistan’s premier ambassador of Qawwali music. The origins of Qawwali music trace back over seven hundred years to the spiritual Samah songs of Persia and the mystical faith of Sufism.

About Tru Thoughts via: Wikipedia

Tru Thoughts is an independent record label. It was formed in Brighton, UK in 1999 by Robert Luis of Deeds Plus Thoughts and Paul Jonas.

The label’s earliest album releases included Bonobo’s Animal Magic (July 2000), Quantic’s The 5th Exotic (June 2001) and Jon Kennedy’s debut album We’re Just Waiting For You Now (July 2001).

A number of artists who released their earliest material on Tru Thoughts went on to sign for other record labels. Bonobo and Treva Whateva signed to Ninja Tune, Chris Clark signed to Warp Records, Jon Kennedy to Grand Central Records, Chroma to LTJ Bukem’s Good Looking Records and The Capoeira Twins signed to Timo Maas’ Hope Recordings. Crossing in the other direction, Hint left Ninja Tune and signed with Tru Thoughts.

Three related record labels have grown from Tru Thoughts — Tru Thoughts 7Sevens, releasing funk / soul records; a compilation album label, Unfold; and Zebra Traffic, a label dedicated to UK hip hop.

The label is also involved in club nights (phonic:hoop and Etch in Brighton) and they have regular radio shows Unfold and Dugout on Brighton’s Juice 107.2 radio station and its web equivalent, totallyradio.com.

It is an eclectic mix of chillout and downtempo, which progresses into nice deep techno towards the end.
We do no have a tracklist for this mix unfortunately. If you can ID any of the tracks of this mix, let us know.
