Tek 9 - It’s Not What You Think It Is !!?! / Breakin' Sound Barriers (the oldies but goodies 91-95 )

As one half of avant-jungle outfit 4 Hero, Dego McFarlane has been one of the most influential electronic music producers of the last 15 years. In this brilliant, 1996 debut album as Tek 9, Dego reconnected with his hip hop roots and created a masterpiece which was hailed as a milestone of abstract downtempo. Guests included producer King Britt, rappers Manifest & Cheewa, Aksak Maboul/Honeymoon Killers vocalist Veronique Vincent.

This is the original twin CD set, also including a compilation of Tek 9's seminal jungle tracks: "Breakin' Sound Barriers - The Oldies But Goldies".

Reviews

“Dego rewires hip hop with lazy jazz and deep dub... an album of subtle switchbacks and wild imagination... it’s the sound of music being pushed through the boundaries” (URB, USA)

“Dego distills jungle to its hip hop foundations and mates jazz’s tonality to drum and bass” (The Face, UK)

“Everyone should hear to discover the sound of milleniums yet to come" (Muzik, UK)
