DJ Rashad - Rollin' FLAC

"Let It Go" uses the same vocal sample (Sinnamon) as Tom & Jerry "Papillon Love Song" https://www.discogs.com/Tom-And-Jerry-Papillon-Love-Song/release/200742

Best Rashad release hands down. Remember seeing Kode 9 play these tracks at a DMZ on a function one and nobody knew what an earth was going on, but went crazy nonetheless. Rolling just tops let it go, just.

this is a really emotional record. it's bangin Chicago footwork no doubt, but it tells a personal story that transcends a typical footwork battle. now i finally understand what Ptop really means when he says "some tracks describe your pain" in that Meet The Era documentary on youtube. when im practicing footwork at home in my garage, i find myself mostly battling my own internal struggles. this record UNDERSTANDS that experience and expresses everything while somehow maintaining function as a solid battle record. Rashad has pushed this genre of music so far. rest in peace.

Does anyone else experience tracking problems on Rollin'? Skipping and distortion right 1 min or so into the track? Any opinions of the quality of the pressing?Thanks in advance for your thoughts and opinions.

Mine has crunchy, scratchy distortion on Rollin' starting about 2 minutes in and it comes and goes for the rest of the track. I noticed if I play the record with a Shure cartridge the problem isn't there, but with my Ortofon(better) cartridge it's really bad, like an old badly taken care of record, though this is in perfect condition. Im guessing it's the pressing. Anybody else?

On the track Rollin does anyone else's cut out sooner then it should? Its like an immediate stop, think it might be a pressing issue?

That's just how the song ends, both on digital and vinyl. Not the pressing.

Chicago footwork is finally coming onto its own. It's like what dubstep was in the UK in 2006 - something different and fresh for the dance music scene. Smart move by Hyperub to recognize the changing times and adopt a new sound. In particular, pay attention to the mesmerizing "Let It Go" found on this record.

"Hyperdub is basically just continuing what Planet Mu did over the last three years."Is there resentment in between these lines? How about focusing on the music instead of highlighting which label may bask in the glory of having been first...

I would say that it is about expanding and not about adopting and throwing out everything else.

Finally coming onto it's own? Hyperdub is basically just continuing what Planet Mu did over the last three years.
