B. Dolan's KILL THE WOLF LP, out July 10, 2015 on Strange Famous / Speech Development! Exclusive pre-order packs (SIGNED CD, Vinyl LP, Cassette, MP3 & more) available at https://tinyurl.com/BDolanKTW

B. Dolan's latest record is the self-produced "KILL THE WOLF", a sweeping, powerful opus five years in the making. The album reinforces Dolan's status as a complex lyricist and introduces him as a ambitious, versatile producer, dedicated as ever to concept and vision over fleeting hip-hop trends.

This sophomore studio effort on STRANGE FAMOUS RECORDS / SPEECH DEVELOPMENT features a supporting cast of talent from a wide range of musical backgrounds, including AESOP ROCK, BUCK 65, ALIAS, CECIL OTTER (Doomtree), KATHLEEN STUBELEK (Circle Takes the Square), DS3K, BUDDY PEACE, AUPHEUS, and the late DAVID LAMB (Brown Bird).

It would be easy for an album to go astray amidst such varying styles, but Dolan stays in firm command as the expert conductor, driving the album's layered and visionary sound. "KILL THE WOLF" sets out with a goal of demolishing the boundaries of what was previously thought possible in a B. Dolan record; bringing the best techniques from his catalogue into a new era of production value by fusing live guitars, analog synths, violins and upright bass with formidable vocals and intricate lyrics.

Five years after shaking the foundations of underground rap with his "Fallen House, Sunken CIty" LP, B. Dolan emerges from the earth, battle-tested, clear-eyed, and sharper than ever.

The time has come to Kill the Wolf.

The Live Mixtape: Messengers Edition [Broadcast Version]

⋎ DONALD BYRD TRIBUTE MIX ⋎

Hello everyone, next up in my soundcast series is another great 2 hours dedicated to more Jazz sounds. As some of you may know trumpet and Jazz/Funk legend Donald Byrd sadly passed away in February this year leaving behind him a staggering body of work which begun in the mid 50s to the present day. For someone to be releasing, touring and constantly evolving their sound for over 50 years whilst staying true to their roots is mind blowing and i can barely think of anyone else like Mr. Byrd. Prolific from the start on Jazz labels Blue Note, Riverside and Savoy, he was known for his blues and hard-bop style. An interest in African-American musical history took his sound into a more free-form style in the 60s and early 70s with his albums 'Kofi' and 'Ethiopian Nights' particular reference points in his long discography. As he gained recognition in the mid 70s his sound evolved once more, utilising shorter song-based compositions. 'Stepping Into Tomorrow' and 'Places & Spaces' are full of joyful expansions of his original Jazz sound, combining his great trumpet playing with an expanding eye on arrangement and production. It was also around then he formed the Blackbyrds from a young group of musicians he had been teaching and they in turn released three great albums under his masterful touch. His career continued in the 80s with more pop-based albums with his group 125th Street NYC, and of course later in his career his work was heavily sampled by producers such as J Dilla, Nas, Pharcyde and Madlib.

This soundcast begins in his earlier period with four classic Jazz cuts from the 60s and 70s before moving onto his large body of work from the 70s where influences from Jazz, Soul, Funk, Rhythm and Blues and Pop can be heard. Each cut on here is either performed by or written or arranged by Donald Byrd and is only a brief adventure into the body of work of this amazing artist. May he rest in peace.
