DJ Cat - Roots & Culture / PossibelleDJ Cat comes through on Scruniversal here as the young label continues to go from strength to strength early in its existence. This time he serves up some re edits and reworks of old and rare records from Scru's friends' collections. Up first is 'Roots & Culture' which is a languid funk workout with Prince style vocals bring some libidinous vibes up top while sci fi synths and raw claps and perc all flesh out the groove. 'Possibelle' then cuts loose

which captures what makes it so special

Miles Davis's "Water Babies" and Charles Mingus among the key musical influences of his compositions on this album

Booker T and The MGs - all these artists had a huge influence on Jamaican artists and this CD contains versions of songs by all of them
