Unselfish Desires

Me And You And Him [Dilla Version]

On a Saturday morning at the start of November 2013, First Word Records took 3 of our favourite producers out of London to spend the day browsing through the vinyl shelves of the biggest record nerd we know - the incomparable Mr Thing. This was the culmination of an idea that first manifested itself on Record Store Day 2012. Like most ideas it was a natural conclusion to a conversation about records and music - kidkanevil had expressed a desire to dig through Mr Thing's sizeable collection for some inspiration. Chatting to Mr Thing it seemed unfair to limit this to only one producer - Tall Black Guy and Eric Lau were top of our wish list. So - a double 7" (Mr Thing would make a beat too - they are his records after all) in time for Record Store Day 2013 (yes, we're a year late). There was however one stipulation about the records from the usually mild-mannered Mr Thing:
'The guys can sample anything they like, but Nothing Leaves The House....'
And who were we to argue.....
The result is four tracks that celebrate our love for record digging, sample chopping and the simple love of a dope beat.

Franklin Black - Gifted People

With a nod to Roy Ayers ‘Brixton Baby’ masterfully captures the bittersweet essence of one of London’s most prominent areas, in a celebration of coming from somewhere and the opposite to a hip hop postcode war. We’re very excited to premiere this exclusive for Musica Macondo , Ty has called on one of the pioneers of London’s Broken Beat sound Daz-I-Kue (a man who has worked with the likes of Soul II Soul, 4Hero and Macy Gray) to masterfully remix this timeless song with a rare-groove twist.

you only have a little bit of time, or do you? 

5 years have come and gone. After Ours left off with understanding that some things might have seemed good but - AFTER After Ours is when you'll get Loves Alias. The best has yet to come. LA is a joy ride. What's been on your mind? A new love? New habits, New addictions. A new escape? A new destination. 
Sit in the car and listen to what Lex has been up to. Bringing the Groove back, but just imagine if you were talking to the groove? What's love's real name? LeXus.
