Review: Anushka - My Mother's Mother (BBE Music)

African inspired love song for grand mother's everywhere taken from the forthcoming album 'Ancestry' (did you see what they did there?) along with a remix from South African/Mozambiquan wunderkind, Thakzin.

This is somewhat different to their earlier single, 'Really (Nothig Is Cool)' with the Max Wheeler dub (see review HERE) and we know Thakzin from various appearance on Foliage (see review HERE) and as a DJ, he has been laured by this likes of BBC 6 Music DJs like Jamz Supernova and Benji B and played out by Osunlade, Atjazz, Louie Vega, Laurent Garnier and many more.

Now, put that together with Gambian Kora player Jally Kebba Susso and you've got a might Grand MF remix from a Thakzin Perspective and a Perespective Dub.

BBE are on a roll at the moment with a re-press of Madlib's 'WLIB AM: King of the Wigflip' album (see review HERE) and Anushka's forthcoming album, it's hard to keep up; but don't mis out on this remix!

Review: Anushka - Really (Nothing is Cool) (inc. Max Wheeler dub) (BBE Music)

With previous album releases on Brownswood and Tru-thoughts it was only a matter of time that Anushka have an album on BBE, that's coming soon and hear's a taster - and it's great!

Victoria Port’s vocals and matched by Max Wheeler production skills (particulary on the dub edit) to give post-Chic-soul boogie-Detroit.

This is one of 3 pre-album singles but if you've not heard 'Overwhelmed' that came out last month with a DJ Die DnB mix but it's clear this is going to be a big album even if "Nothing Is Cool".

The album 'Ancestry' is coming out later this spring.
