Mr Manuva returns with one of the standout tunes from last year's superb "Slime & Reason." "Do Nah Bodda Mi" was produced by man-of-the-moment Toddla T and, in true Rootical style, Rodney Smith used this bouncy piece of electro-dancehall to tell people to leave him alone! Packing in the hooks in amongst his switchback turns of phrase, it's a superlative performance from an MC absolutely at the top of his game and having all the fun he can squeeze into three minutes of rhythm. And that's before the remixes get going… On "Do Bodda Mi," Wrong Tom takes the original and turns it into classic eighties digi-dub, the spirit on "Sleng Teng" snapping with the lyrics so perfectly it's hard to tell which is the original. Xrabit then turns in another of his dayglo, cartoon-bright productions, a little like Mr Scruff bogling, but less beardy. The package is completed by Red Light's club stomper, a straight-to-the-floor cruncher that's already being caned by the DJs. Roots Manuva himself is currently working on material for his new album as well as liasing with Wrong Tom, whose reggae version-excursions will see the light of day later in the year on the full length Manuva retrospective "Slime & Version".

UPDATE: Isaac Aesili's full album is now available on cd hereJust in today is the 12" album sampler for Isaac Aesili's forthcoming album Eye See. Featuring the vocal talents of Mara TK, Deva Mahal, Rachel Fraser and Rosita Vai. The full album is due for release on September 7th 2009
Isaac Aesili’s debut solo album Eye See is a rich tapestry of sound with R&B at its heart, and lashings of soul, reggae and funk woven within. Experimental and futuristic in some parts, warm and soulful in others, the album, an extension of its author, is a tribute to diversity.
The concept behind Eye See was born of Isaac’s desire to offer today’s youth a counter voice to the glorification and idealisation of gangster culture, so often promoted by commercial R&B. Destructive lyrics endorsing kids to fail school and encouraging promiscuity, drugs, violence and degradation of women, saw Isaac grow increasingly disillusioned with the genre of music he had loved since he was a teenager. He resolved to record an R&B album that used contemporary production styles, with references to commercial R&B so that it would still appeal to youth, but he would transpose the negative messages with hopeful, positive themes.
Eye See is an inspired album of intelligent, conscious music, an investigation of our world from the perspective of the youth. The opening eponymous track, a song that explores the state of the world today, features Isaac’s nephews and nieces each reciting a line. It is for them and their generation that Isaac created Eye See.
