Birmingham's Different Drummer have been releasing music since 1992, back in the days when Rockers Hi-Fi (nee Original Rockers) were starting to fuse their love of dub with 4/4 house rhythms. "A Different Drummer Selection" captures some of the highlights of a 10 year love affair with all things deep and dubby.
G-Stone's Richard Dorfmeister has hand-picked his favourite tracks from the extensive back-catalogue and Farda P adds his distinctive tones to the mix.
The selection kicks of with Frankie Valley's lush "Imagination" (a firm favourite of Ninja's Mixmaster Morris) before dropping into Noiseshaper's bluesy dub favorite "Moving Together".
The mighty G-Corp are well represented with three tracks full of heavy basslines and crunching drums. "Liberation Dub" is a classic steppers tune that never fails to excite whilst "Murder" and "Peace time" show the different sides of the talented duo.
Other highlights include the anthemic "Watch What You Put Inna" by the Overproof Soundsystem, the deep dub house of International Observer's "London", and a reminder of where it all started with Original Rocker's ground-breaking "Sexy Selector".
