First Word are proud to present the debut album from Mike-L, the fantastic 'On A Columbo Tip'. Following on from other First Word releases this year, Mike has crafted an album that shares the dusty-fingered, crate-digging sound of Herma Puma with the unashamedly retro style of The Simonsound's 'Reverse Engineering'. Mike's been with First Word since day one, winning over fans with his dusty-grooved hip hop and funk production. Eye Of The Storm was one of the first 12's we released back in 2005, and was a defining release for the label. A veteran of six DMC finals Mike has managed the seemingly rare feat of combining jaw-dropping turntablist skills with genuine beat-making talent, crafting a 15-track opus that takes in Madlib-style Hip Hop, Cut Chemist-influenced breakbeat funk and the eerie soundscapes of RJD2.
The Gaslamp Killer - Akuma No Chi Ga Odoru CD (Disques Corde)
Available Here
Issued in conjunction with the Low End Theory club’s tour of Japan in autumn of 2009, this limited pressing CD finds the MFGLK bouncing like a hairy pinball DJ from rave to dubstep to golden era hip hop to phuturistic wonkiness to outer-psyche to astro-soul and back again … and out again … keeping the noggin nodding throughout. Like some of Andy Votel's crazed mix CD frenzies, or Dom Thomas's recent Brutal Music comps, this is party music from the other side of the sun, and one that only the keenest of trainspotters will be able to name the whole tracklisting for!
