Fingerlickin have confirmed that the second edition of their 'Export' compo series will come out on 31 Jul. This one has been mixed by A-Skillz and he promises a very fine fusion of funk, hip-hop and old school electro including contributions from likes of the Jungle Brothers, Ali B, Black Grass, Superthriller, Kurtis Blow, label mates The Plump DJs, plus there's plenty of A-Skillz and Krafty Kuts. Press info from Get Involved.
Talking of great compo albums, remind me to tell you about an upcoming installment in Distinctive Records dance/breaks Y4K series - though this one will be called YrocK because it is being compiled and mixed by dance-meets-rock master Eddy TM (do you see what they've done there?). I've had a sneaky preview and all I can say is that you music journalist types should be making sure you're on Distinctive's press list ahead of its August release.
