Ben Lancaster, Justin Hibbs, Sean Roche

Hidden Future Reverse Synthesis

Sound Synthesis Archives

A lovingly presented, outer-disciplinary collaboration featuring Ben Lancaster playing Moog, Sean Roche on saxophones, and visual artist Justin Hibbs. The music is a no-nonsense jazz stomper with Sun Ra running through its veins, and an eastern flavour; in two quite different arrangements.

You're Welcome

Afrik / Only Roots

A beautiful song, perfectly suited to BB’s sweetly soulful singing style.

Pure loveliness.

Round One: I'm Your Brother

Besides Basic Channel and Maurizio, in 1994 Mark and Moritz set up Main Street, for song-oriented, vocal house. This first single whips an Isleys b-line, and features Londoner Andy Cunningham, plus a Chez n’ Trent.

With the Loose Lips MC in full flow, and complete with a Spinna house version. On percussion, Miguel Fuentes brings classic Philly vibes courtesy of the MFSB family.

Atavisme

Gregory Isaacs

Temporary Lover

Dug Out

Masterful Gregory from 1997, sounding spooked and hunted over a juddering, propulsive Music Works rhythm, fulgent and full-on, with deep, pounding bass, clattering percussion, parping horns, classy backing vocals and harp starbursts… top-notch Gussies.
Two extended vocal versions, and two dubs, all quite different.
Bimmety bim bim.

Wareika Hill Sounds

One People

Honest Jon's Records

Full, bone-heavy horns, swirling organ and rocking nyabinghi drumming; and with a storming dub.

Seiji And Spoonface

Yin Yang

Honest Jon's Records

West London broken beat meets JA dancehall. A Co-op classic by this Bugz mainstay.
