Release Info
*With a slew of infectious releases on his own imprint Kicks & Snares and a seemingly never ending list of remixes at the request of artists including Zed Bias and Four Tet the hype on Roska leading up to this album is written on the proverbial wall across radio, in the clubs and on blogsites. *Aside from Geeneus' 'One' LP in late 2008, UK Funky hasn't really produced any notable artist albums of yet.This self-titled debut LP is a collection of ten of his currently most ubiquitous productions including â??I Need Lov,e and the Jamie Geo collaboration â??Wonderful D' and 'Time Out' (as hammered by Brackles on his Rinse sets). *8.5/10 REVIEW IN DJ MAGAZINE: "MUCH LIKE GARAGE SOULBOY WOOKIE DID 10 YEARS AGO, FUNKY INNOVATOR ROSKA (HIMSELF A HUGE TWO-STEP FAN) HAS SMASHED THE ART OF MAKING RAW GRIMY GROOVES WITH A SOUL AND SWING THAT EVEN THE MOST FUTURISTIC BASS MUSIC LACKS." *Undoubtedly thereâ??s a charm in the the restraint that Roska affords his production whichas seen him adopted by the funky scene as one of their most cherished children. However, welcome as he may be Roskaâ??s more curious than his counterparts to stay outside of the constraints of the genre. He told us: â??If people wanna call me funky thatâ??s cool but I donâ??t wanna go out there and say that myself. I hope this album appeals to as many people as possible. I'm travelling abroad DJ'ing in places where funky as we know it here hasnâ??t properly reached and itâ??s a great experience...â? *Playing to audiences with less rigid expectations has allowed Roska to stay experimental with his sound. Here on the LP youâ??ll find curve-ball riddims like â??Squarkâ?? and â??Tomorrow Is Todayâ?? which betray his onetime love affair with grime (he was a grime emcee before turning his hand to production.) *If itâ??s playing to open-minded crowds that inspires him then things are really going to heat up for Roska once he returns from Barcelona's Sonar this summer, where heâ??ll be playing as a guest of Mary Anne Hobbs for her BBC Experimental stage, following in the footsteps of Martyn, Kode9 and Joker. *Named in Mixmagâ??s Producers of The Year list for 2009 after a flurry of EPs, this LP is the milestone that marks the firm arrival of Roska. *Catch Roska on Rinse FM every Tuesday 11AM â?? 1PM (GMT) *FEATURES / REVIEWS / MENTIONS Fader / Vice / Clash / XLR8R / Clash /Resident Advisor / Dazed & Confused DJ / iDJ / Mixmag / Wire More TBC *CD TRACKLISTING: 1 Tomorrow Is Today 2 Roska & Jamie George â??
