Dj Format - Presents A Right Earful Mix Tape Volume 1
(Antidote 2004)

Les amateurs de hip hop old school bien groovy et funky se sont tournés en masse vers Jurassic 5. Ils ont bien raison: ils sont au top depuis leur premier mini-album ("Jurassic 5 EP") et leurs disques ("Quality Control", "Power In Numbers") assurent autant que leurs shows, largement au-dessus du lot. Ugly Duckling, tout aussi doués, font beaucoup moins l'unanimité malgré le talent en or massif déployé sur leur trois albums ("Fresh Mode", "Journey To Anywhere" et "Taste the Secret"). Relativement, Edan est lui un inconnu, malgré un très bon premier album ("Primitive Plus") et quelques maxis ("Mic Manipulator", "Sprain Your Tapedeck", "I See Colours") et mixes ("Fast Rap", "Sounds Of The Funky Drummer") exceptionnels. Dj Format est à peu près au même niveau, avec un premier album ("Music For The Mature B-Boy") renversant et quelques remixes (Major Force West "The Re-Return Of The original Art-Form", "English Lesson"), pas piqués des hannetons. Si vous aussi êtes branchés hip hop fresh, funky & ensoleillé comme ces quatre-là, vous êtes tombés sur la bonne compile, où Ugly Duckling et Edan y vont justement de leur inédit: la meilleure de l'année dans le genre "block party mixtape".
