Synopsis

Album Description

This release from Rockers Hi-Fi is a reflection of the genius of Kruder & Dorfmeister, the exception being a more firm root in dub & reggae. The Black Album showcases Nicolette-style vocals in the genius of Farda P. rich, deep sophisticated lyrics combine with D -n B & dub/reggae. Only recently has the chemistry between 'Da Tosta' Farda P., Glyn Bush & Richard 'Dick' Whittingham delivered fertile products in the sound laboratories of Different Drummer. Farda P. worked closely with Rockers Hi-Fi on their last album 'Mish Mash', which made Rockers Hi-Fi, almost over night, one of the most respected bands of this genre. The musical scope stretches from dub-tracks of Ruts DC & Rhythm & Sound by Maurizio to trip hop by Snooze & DJ Cam to the atmospheric d -n- b soundscapes by T-Power & Kid Loops. The collection is finished off by American cult acts like Small Fish With Spine & Dr. Israel. This is Rockers Style -

CD Reviews

Smooth Vibe 'n Riddums

melodic | New York, NY | 08/08/1999

(4 out of 5 stars)

"Another exceptional installment from the DJ Kicks collection...Rockers Hi-Fi is probably one of the least diverse of the DJ Kicks, sticking mainly to dub-reggae. But if that is your bag, then this is an outstanding album. Vocal contributions by Farda P are always welcome and kick the album "uppa proppa like" to a higher level of trip hop massive."

Pure Head Pleasure

"Pure head pleasure is what this album delivers. Sonic drones, reggae spliffs, and fat knowledge. Crank this mo up! Chill."

Rockers Hi-Fi: Best in DJ Kicks Series

melodic | 11/13/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Staying true to their sound-system roots, the Rockers are prolific in their production of mixtapes which incorporate live DJing, chatting, toasting and mixing-desk mayhem: what they call 'Dex'n'Fx'.It was only a matter of time therefore before they were invited by Berlin based label !K7 to produce a 'DJ Kicks' compilation - subtitled 'The Black Album' because of the ramifications of stepping outside the normal boundaries of their deal with Warners. Along with Kruder and Dorfmeister - whom they hold in deep and mutual respect, and who added their own brand of magic to the remix of 'Going Under' from 'Mish Mash', - this was one of the best selling albums in the DJ Kicks series."
