Roots Manuva Spotify Playlist
Posted on 06/10/2011
To celebrate the release of Roots Manuva's fifth studio album, the superb 4everevolution, Big Dada's tired father Will Ashon has put together a 17 track playlist of classic Manuva performances.
New Flesh
On Big Dada
Named after a line in David Cronenbourg's "Videodrome," New Flesh (or New Flesh For Old) have existed since the early nineties. As a loose collective of artists they have consistently shocked and surprised with the music they have made, earning their tag as "one of the maddest and best Brit crews" (DJ magazine). The key members of New Flesh are Part 2 (Keith Hopewell), Toastie Tailor (Garvin Edwards) and Juice Aleem. Their three albums on Big Dada are "Equilibrium" (1999), "Understanding" (2002) and "Universally Dirty" (2006). Part 2 and Juice Aleem both also produced solo albums for Big Dada. Consistently ahead of their time, the band's work has been wildly influential and a byword for futurism within UK hip hop.
