Dublin producer The Expert aka Cian Galvin was one half of Messiah J and the Expert and some 15 years on since they called it a day, is still releasing top-quality albums. In 2022 he released The Overview Effect with US rapper Jermicide and this Friday releases Ritual with another US rapper, Stik Figa. We talk about his journey from the late 90s, starting out with Creative Control, on through the career of Messiah J and the Expert, how close they got to making it, and then discuss his 'second act', constantly released beat and mixtapes and now working with a series of rappers on some brilliant records.

Catch Ital / Halal and crew at Club Time on January 23rd: restlessnites.com/clubtime/

A few words from Ital on this incredible mix showcasing the best of Lovers Rock:

This mix is exclusively made up of artists on Lovers Rock, in various permutations & aliases. The DJ Python (aka DJ Wey) track will come out on Prohibito; many of these tracks also aren't made for release. A few of them of course have already been released: DJ Wey "Tare Gent Us," Earthen Sea "Beat 13" and Ital & Halal "The Thirst." The "Radio Interference" is a recording of some very unsettling, drifting noise that sometimes comes through the radio unprompted at LR HQ. As for the rest of them, we'll have to wait and see.
