LSR 15YEARS REUNION

Daz-I-Kue was inspired to put together this track straight after Maya Angelou passed away some 5 years ago. As a tribute to the great icon had the idea of bringing together his favorite poem "Phenomenal Woman" and the sounds of Fela Kuti, which as musical concept fitted like a glove. Daz then shared it to the world on his SoundCloud page where he got overwhelming love with over 12,000 plays without promotion.

Daz-I-Kue has revisted the mix and has made it available for a limited period in honour of WOMEN'S MONTH on MARCH 8th (INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY). The net proceeds will go to GIRLS FOR GENDER EQUALITY based in NYC, who give amazing support for girls and women. 

Check our their work on https://www.ggenyc.org/

Further news, there will be a pledge campaign for a limited vinyl release of 250-300 copies with exclusive versions featuring an exceptionally beautiful flute performance from Atlanta's own Rasheeda Ali via www.diggerfactory.com we hope to achieve our goal on Maya Angelou's birthday, April 4th.

I hope you can support this and spread the word

Crate Digs Radio - Jeff Higgins #8

Artist: mfp
Title: Natural Law
Formats: Limited Vinyl (300) / Digital
Release Date: January 29, 2021
Label: R2 Records

Residing at the base of Mount Yōtei on Japan’s geological wonder island Hokkaido - with it’s volcanoes, hot springs and national park - Masaki “mfp” Konagi is no stranger to natural beauty. Having resided in L.A. and Melbourne in the past, mfp (or mindfullpeace) settled in this natural haven as the place to set down some roots and create.

Having begun his musical journey over a decade ago, including an appearance on Gilles Peterson’s “Brownswood Electr*c 2”, we are proud to announce his debut full length album “Natural Law”.

Drawing on long time collaborators and friends from his travels, mfp has pulled on his foundation in hip-hop and pushed its boundaries to breaking point, embodying the true ethos of the genre as an ever expandable principle.

Featuring Melbourne stalwarts Simon Mavin (Hiatus Kaiyote) and ALIEN (Piette Aillion) plus Sydney’s Natalie Slade (Eglo), funk maestro sauce81 and hip-hop hero Stan Smith, mfp’s productions ebb and flow, building and releasing pressure, exploring discord and harmony through electronic polyrhythms and diverse explorations in slaps, swirls, lopes and kicks.

Masaki has also opened the very first organic food store in the area - Pyram Organics & Plants - embodying his, (and our) ethos in food and music as a way to bring ecological awareness to reconnect with nature and our planet for sustainable living.

Mastered by Martin Iveson at ARCo Labs UK.
