Radio Slave

Matt Edwards took care of a matter near to his and our heart: an EP dedicated to the crafty DJ Duke, his infamous Power Music label empire and those massive sounds dat ruled di Sound Factory nation. One side holds a modern track in an old fashioned style of lovin' (''That's all the record do? Yeah, bitch, that's all the record do.'' Special thanks go to Omar-S for clarifying these matters once and for all.) Flip for a portrait of Todd Terry circa '92 slipping on his bathroom rug while listening to some X-102. Those people out there who still buy audio plastic might be delighted to find out that they get a special bunch of bonus tracks: super heavy EFX sirens, street noise and soothing rain sounds. Can you dig it?
