You've heard 'Be Your Own', you've heard 'Bluebird': now it's time to experience the full impact of the children of possibility known as One Self. With a career marked by critical acclaim and a hardcore following, DJ Vadim could have continued to work as a producer with whoever he liked: the cream of MC talent from around the globe. But this time out he decided to gather his closest musical collaborators together with him to create a true group ethic and radically freshen up his approach in the process. The results are sensational, a revelation. Both Swedish-Brazilian Yarah Bravo and American Blu Rum 13 have been long term Vadim-associates but in addition have rhymed with everyone from TTC to Canibus to Luke Vibert to Kid Koala. Their voices, placed together for the first time, mesh into a lyrical, melodic blend which summons up memories of the best of Native Tongues updated for a new century - Blu Rum's gruff, musical growl the ideal foil for Yarah's sweet, octave-hopping, spoken word stylings. Two intelligent MCs with sacks full of ideas but the subtlety not to ram it down your throat. So there you have it: a true unit (One Self) working together to open up new possibilities for themselves and for the music they love. A perfect record for a summer as cerebral as it is soulful?
