It's September and we have some aural treats for you. Quantic has a new album out and it is PHENOMENAL. Taking his Central/South American influences and mashing it up with reggae he certainly delivers. His track Death of the Revolution starts it off with Smith & Mighty's remix of Big Youth's Jim Screechy coming in behind. Natural Self also has a new album out and it is equally as tasty as his Tru Thoughts counter part. His The Rising with Andreya Triana channels some tribal burning making way for Battle of the Species a track off the first Antibalas record. Martin Perna of Antibalas hooked up with Grupo Fantasma's Adrian Quesada to form the genre bending Ocote Soul Sounds. Their La Reja slides out of the Antibalas ashes right into Quantic Soul Orchestra's Melodious Wayfarer. Another Tru Thoughts label mate the Limp Twins funk it up a little bit with Moving Closer to the Sofa. Herbaliser gives Lamb's B Line the remix treatment(seriously how many original Lamb tracks do you have? Mine are all remixes!) Blackalicious drop some Lyrical Fathom before de la soul's sort but damn funky It Ain't Till the Fat Lady Plays. James Pants' Do a Couple Things makes way for DJ Shadow's remix of the Flobots Handlebars - hat tip to Brentabousko for the hookup on that track. Roudning out the last track of the month is Amplive's Radiohead remix Faustz
