Fresh from a tour supporting the legendary DJ Shadow with his band Stateless, kidkanevil is back with another razor-sharp 12†to splice up the dancefloor. Yes, our perma-beanied beat technician’s called in the big guns on MC duties in the form of Quannum’s Lateef The Truthspeaker, Yarah Bravo & UK heavyweight Lotek (Roots Manuva). First up, Lateef takes things into ‘5th Gear’ with a tale of a hot night’s dancefloor liasons, backed by One Self’s Little Miss B. This low-slung groover is guaranteed to get the bootys shakin’ as the killer flute slices through the tribal rhythm, as hypnotic as the Truthspeaker’s conquest. This tune’s got back! As if that wasn’t enough, we’ve got ‘ASBO’, a super-fl y track laden with bass as heavy as the wit Lotek spits on the flow (“He thinks algebra is a terrorist cellâ€). This is social commentary that’ll slap a grin right across your noddin’ noggin. The 12†is fi nished off with a remix of kidk’s awesome debut single ‘Kranium Rock’ by the man like Diesler. Tru Thoughts’ bespectacled wonderkid sprinkles some summer funk into the mix to give Testament’s on-point fl ow a fresh perspective.

those with a leftfield leaning will not shy away from this 12”. Big Dada’s Lotek drops social commentary atop Kid Kanevil’s twitchy beats on the topically ripe ‘ASBO’, whilst Lateef and Yarah Bravo get frisky on ‘5th Gear’. You also get a rework of the mighty fine ‘Kranium Rock’, featuring the insanely gifted Testament, by none other than Tru Thought’s Diesler, adding the all-essential horns and fat drums. Lovely stuff. - Shepdog I-DJ
