Super Rhythm Trax is excited to welcome 303 enthusiast and incredible conceptual artist (check out his website) Yuri Suzuki to the label. Yuri serves up 4 acidic tracks that are perfect fit for the label, all of them giving you that little bit extra, burrowing deep into the groove whilst giving plenty of extra elements to push the listener that bit further ‘out there’.

Yuri has collaborated many times with DMX Krew and appeared on labels as diverse as Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Jnr, Jared Wilson’s 7777 and Chicago’s mighty Trax records.

Emerging Netherlands-based pairing Parallells will land on Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels imprint for the first time next month. Gifting us an emotive offering in Ashes of Snow (The Rebirth Of The Phoenix), it acts as a tribute to their favourite Portuguese beach club, Yamba, which was tragically destroyed by a fire last year.

The title track hits a wonderful sweet spot between electronic elements and organic instrumentals. It feels raw and authentic, blending saxophone segments, electric guitar tones and a jazzy-like backbone to form a cut that feels ripe for both sunrise or sunset. On The Banks of The River comes next, manifesting as a more toughened dance music number thanks to deep bass components whilst still retaining the boys’ natural sound. Rounding off proceedings is Clive Henry, who’s remix of Ashes of Snow flies the flag for contemporary minimal. Weighty kicks reside next to delicate hats before ethereal synths are brought in, creating a romanian-inspired piece that you can’t help but dance to.

Parallells are two Amsterdam-based brothers hailing from the south of France. Multi-instrumentalists, composers, producers and label owners (Klassified), their music cuts across electronica, electro-jazz and underground dance music. Their live, hybrid and DJ sets have graced some of the world’s most esteemed stages, including DGTL, Robot Heart, Mayan Warrior, The Gardens of Babylon, Wonderfruit and many more besides. Their music is also heavily influenced by world culture, a feat that led them to launch their video series concept A Day In. Through this, they immerse in diverse cultures around the world, capturing sounds from their day-to-day life and unfold the story through the medium of music. Clive Henry is a linchpin of house music as we know it today. Cutting his teeth as one half of the tribal house duo Peace Division, he has held a long-term residency at Circoloco, Ibiza and has racked up bookings at standout venues and festivals including Printworks and Houghton to name a few.

House music icon Kerri Chandler unveils his first album in 14 years, Spaces and Places, a global celebration of club and sound system culture, meticulously created by the New Jersey producer/DJ over several years on location at twenty-two of the world’s most distinguished nightclubs. Each track built on the spaces individual relationship with Kerri, often through decades of live shows or appearances, and in the process capturing unique rhythmic and emotional nuances.

Written and performed with a temporary studio on the centre of each dance floor, this jaw dropping 3 x 12” album in a stunningly designed tri-fold picture sleeve complete with hand signed A2 poster insert (first 500 only), showcases Kerri at his finest. Taking in never before heard tracks, versions and mixes separate to the four samplers that preceded it, this incredible body of work and concept has seen the album submitted for two Grammy awards.

As one of dance music’s most respected and authentic figures, Kerri Chandler is a true originator of his genre, with an impeccable discography and signature sound to match. He has unquestionably helped to shape house music’s positive outlook over the last 30 years. Not only from the DJ booth and studio, but also as an A&R via his Kaoz Theory label which has worked with contemporary talents like Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler and The Martinez Brothers. Now, Kerri Chandler is set to release a carefully rendered and truly unique body of work. Spaces and Places will undoubtedly be seen as a timeless tribute that underscores the originality that has kept him as one of the most in-demand artists for so many years.

“The first time I stepped into a nightclub was with my father as a child. I saw the magic of what a club space could sound and feel like as my Dad set up the DJ equipment at The Rallye Racquet Club. Hearing the power of those huge Altec Lansing "Voice of the Theater" Speakers and Horn-loaded JBL subwoofers fascinated me! In the late 80s, I was spoiled sonically by playing on several Richard Long Sound Systems around New York and New Jersey. This is why ever since I first ventured away from home, I have been infamous with my soundchecks at any space I have performed in. I make sure, with the help of the engineers in these “Spaces and Places”, many I have known most of my career, to get the best from each system. Each sound system is unique to each venue, even if it's the same type of gear, because of the physical space. And when you add the right audience to that specific nightclub, it comes to life! The club owners and engineers were gracious enough to let me take over each club and turn each venue, into a recording studio. I wanted to express the love of what could be possible in capturing my productions in the venue, from the heart of each space, right on the dance floor and I translate it onto this album, which I created over the course of 4 years and 24 venues later. I hope you enjoy this journey as I have. I present to you: "Spaces and Places".

With Love, Respect and Admiration.” – Kerri Chandler

aF CD 1-6 | Jakob Faber feat. Katjuscha - How to Describe (Original Mix)

After a resounding success on the 4th release of honne music the 5th record is ready and it's something special.

We are pleased to announce this great various artists compilation, kicking off the A side is the one and only Harrison BDP with ''More Or Less", a driving housy track with electro synths, some lashes of vocals and a stomping groove made to fill the dance floor.

Next up on the A2 is Moray with the funky and banger “Ohhhhh Really”, processed drums and some retro vibes on this one also big track to fill the dance floor.

Flipping over onto the B side we have "My Houze’' by Tripmastaz, a full-on pounding acid house beauty with a pulsing, peak time rhythm that just won't stop!

Finishing up we have as always on the B2 a honne music member this time Rodrigo P. with "Olas", a soulful and uplifting track where if you listen with detail you can hear the delicate work in its arrangements perfect for a warm up hr or closing your set in a perfect way.

Rising Mancunion producers PSTW serve up a tight Tech House roller with Fixation and then we have decided to go big on the remixes to do their hard work justice! First up we have the Nigerian modern music visionary Jerome Sydenham (Drumcode / Liebe Detail / Ibadan Label Boss) coming direct from the European Techno Hub that is Berlin, a man with his finger firmly on the pulse and it’s no surprise, IT’S A BANGER! Following on from Jerome we have Mykel Haze & Plastik Corpse (Noir Music / Naked Lunch) with a deeper more melodic interpretation that still gives a fair bit of punch to keep the energy of the release on track. Then we throw in a curveball with the wobbly acidic vibes of Dan Wild (Just Jack Bristol) which would fit perfectly at any late night Chicago warehouse party, and finally, last but by no means least, we have label boss and rEJEKT supremo Iain Taylor with a straight up House groover that brings a distinct American / Parisian feel to the proceedings.

Artist photos, biographies and cover artwork all included in the resources file.

Please Enjoy Irresponsibly!

Much Love From Planet rEJEKT x

Third part of the compilation celebrating the tenth anniversary of the Milanese record shop.

This collection is entirely composed of previously unreleased music, exclusively produced for the occasion by many artists of great relevance in the worldwide music scene, who supported the store over the last ten years.

The artists who produced the music for this compilation are Egyptian Lover, Ellen Allien, Thomas Brinkmann, Neil Landstrumm, JD Twitch, Matias Aguayo, San Proper, Tolouse Low Trax, Jay Glass Dubs, Dj Marcelle, Jorge Velez, Tamburi Neri, Fabrizio Mammarella, Heith, Itinerant Dubs, Timeslip89, Kregg

Caposile Music guys are proud to present their third release.
The EP is produced by Alessio Viggiano, the international producer and DJ that have been hosted many times at After Caposile.
Alessio shares his “history” as producer with three unreleased tracks, that go from the deep house of Astral Impact to the tech house of Magic Mountain, always maintaining his unique style, clearly expressed on the track We Will Go Dance Together, the track that has been chosen by the French duo Oden & Fatzo for an unmissable remix.

The bass and the overwhelming vocal make this last track the most important one of the EP, that is, with Oden & Fatzo remix, an unmissable EP.

Groovin is proud to present Massiande, one of South America’s most captivating talents in authentic House music. Inspired by the likes of Kerri Chandler, Wamdue and Larry Heard, his own sound merges everything that is heart-warming and soulful, always honouring house music’s roots.

“Dreams EP” shows Massiande’s skills at their best, defining a high standard of contemporary Deep-House music. The title track "Dreams" is an actual attempt on creating how a dream imagery would sound like through a House music lens, with beautiful feel-good melodies and heavenly voices.

"The Original Man" is a classic for the dancefloor, with a driving violin riff, powerful drums and pads in the spirit of the original early House sound.

"Everything" is another romantic House track (a Massiande specialty). It vividly conveys the feeling of keeping everything that's good for the heart by your side.

The final track "Deeply" recalls feelings of heartfelt love and emotive introspection.

Whether it's for a deep dancefloor's needs or for your own pleasure, this record will move any Classic House music fan.

At last, after a long break... WM006.A four-track EP by Morgan Louis— from the 004 showcase —plus three locked grooves.
Pedigree, locomotive, deep steppers.

Noir & Sandy Rivera join forces on this one. Each delivering their sexy
take on SOTOM (Stay On Top Of Me) and Jimpster finish off the package with his excellent remix.

No words necessary.... let the music speak for itself.

'Reise Ins Glück' (engl.: journey into happiness) was the second EP from Pitchwork in 1996 by three young students from Freiburg (im Breisgau). At the time it also marked one of the very first record Alex (Sevensol) ever purchased and since then always finds it´s way back into his record bag. Three of the original tunes plus one unreleased track ('Rückreise') are now available again on vinyl. Fitting for the dancefloors of the 1990's just as much as it still is today.

This record mirrors the personal dance music ethos for Long Vehicle, blurring fine lines between driving tech-house, slightly progressive acid and dubby garage music. Yes sure, let's go to bed grandpa.

We first discovered this when Noir recieved the promo from Ten Ven.Noir then started spreading the word about his love for this new 'Ten Ven' act and shortly after we were generously offered to release it on Noir Music.
We did not hesitate for a second to sign this and we are delighted to be able to present such a great 4-tracker on the label from a new and exciting act. Not only do we believe that Ten Ven could be the next big thing but we also strongly believe that these solid house grooves might lead the way of the changes in the underground this year. Its a throw-back to french and filtered house as it started out more than 20 years ago melted into todays production techniques. It's super refreshing to hear this sound again and we promise there's more to come over the summer period.

Poker Flat's Forward To The Past anthology returns in its 3rd iteration, as lean and mean as it ever was and precision-engineered to make you jack, dream and all things in between. The winning formula remains the same: task a selection of hotshot veteran and up-and-coming producers with recapturing the style and mood of early club music, paying homage to the golden years between 1985 and 1992 when Chicago House and Acid, New York House and Detroit Techno took the world and its dancefloors by storm. The result is a collection of new and exclusive tracks as addictive as the stone cold classics that influenced them - a tribute and, at the same time, the cutting edge of contemporary music production. LA-based compatriot MANIK contributes a rolling, no-frills jam that sticks to the tried and tested production values of early acid as if to say, Why mess with perfection' From his small Amsterdam studio crammed with classic drum machines and synths, Wouter de Moor serves up 'Bon Voyage', a simmering analogue acid jam bedecked with snickering percussive flourishes and long, sustained chords for that blue-tinged Detroit vibe. Pavel Iudin, meanwhile, adds jazzy Rhodes inflections and whistling birdsong to a similarly bubbling groove. Veteran DJ Aakmael adopts the classic Juno bass sound to pay homage to the godfather of deep, Larry Heard, for an exercise in immersive repetition.

Are You Happy?
What would is what we should be doing. Sort out our sorry lives despite obstacles, imaginary or real, does not matter what you feel. We are cornered, floored, bored, abhorred. So do it or die. Do it or die. Hear hear, make do battlecry.

Uruguayans Luis Malon and Jorge Gamarra in his new alias Ecstatic are in charge of SUR’s ninth instance. House, Techno, Breaks, Electro and whatever ; Four mental and dancefloor tracks for the club or the afters.

It's been so long but finally we are back with our 3rd release OTTEP20, brought to you by the Venezuelan artist Onoffon based in Barcelona and resident Dj in MAD Radio. The release has two original cuts that fit perfectly for the dance-floor with tracending melodies, acid basses and energetic drums patterns. It includes a sick remix by the well-known producer Len Lewis which is a track irresistible for the peak hour.

Two excellent production from Ron Trent finally back on vinyl.
Aquarhythmatica comes from the Prescription era and it was produced together with Anthony Nicholson. City Beat was included in Ron's 2009 album "Dance Classic". Two absolute gems of deep house music at its best. Licensed courtesy of Ron Trent. 2018 repress by Groovin Recordings

Hamburg’s Polycarp Records delivers the ‘Never Ever’ EP by Bonn this January, backed with remixes from Johannes Albert and The Cruiser.
The Polycarp Records imprint was launched in 2016 by Simon Ferdinand and across its past ten releases has unveiled an array of material from the likes of Pleasant Systems boss Tilman, Frank Music founder Johannes Albert and Simon Ferdinand and Basch both under their own artist names and of course their collaborative project, Bonn. In 2019 Ferdinand and Basch inaugurated their Bonn guise with a debut album entitled ‘Forget Forgot Forgotten’, 2021 saw the release of a follow up EP entitled ‘Ravenous’ and here the story continues with the pair’s latest collaborative works.
The original mix of title-track ‘Never Ever’ opens the EP and lays down
crunchy, off-kilter drums alongside mystical atmospherics, an unfurling acid bass lead and loopy, fluttering stab sequences. Johannes Albert’s twist on ‘Never Ever’ follows next, the fellow German producer takes things down his signature cosmic, nu- disco path via bubbling arpeggio lines and 80’s tinged resonant leads melded together with fragments from the original composition.
‘Phero’ then opens the flip side and sees Bonn deliver a twitchy house
workout fuelled by fidgety synth bleeps, dubbed out chords and bumpy,
saturated drums. Last up to round things out, The Cruiser turns in a
high- octane interpretation of ‘Phero’, upping the tempo and reshaping the original’s raw elements into a murky, dynamically unfolding thumper.

For their seventh issue, Adam's Bite have tapped italian DJ and producer, Christopher Ledger. His work has steadily risen to the top over the past five or six years, honing in on a reduced style favoured by intimate dancefloors throughout Europe. For his most recent output, Ledger draws upon more muscular, more urgent matter altogether.

His encyclopedic knowledge of dance music's hidden corners reverberates strongly within these five tracks. Find echoes of the fledgling Roman rave scene in its heavy drumwork, whilst the trance-infused synths recall the hazy glory days of mid-nineties Elba. All touched up and bound together by a thoroughly modern approach to sound design and floor awareness. Ledger carries his italian heritage on his sleeve, and although many of the calling cards might appear obscured to the uninitiated, those familiar with his craft will find more to love with every rotation. Pass this gate and discover the depth at your own risk.

The inimitable, Detroit-born, UK based producer and DJ, Demi Riquísimo returns to his unbounded Semi Delicious imprint with a 4-track EP with feature vocals from one of London’s most in-demand DJs - Lulah Francs.

Delivering another delectable spread of speaker rumbling house music in a variety of dancefloor flavours, Demi sets off with title track ‘Rush Common’. A steady rolling kick, with his signature live-feel hi-hats are joined by a rumbling 909 groove and massive synth chords and a wandering acid-lead. Simple, effective, fearless house music.

‘Paroche’ brings the authentic Italo-influenced flavours that Demi has become renowned for. Sampled female vocal chants dissect a metric, live drum groove with lush pads and an oozing, wandering arp synth running through the centre. – Demi also includes a huuuuge, Extended Balearic Mix for the bubbling Ibiza terraces throughout the summer.

‘Circulate’ showcases fellow Londoner Lulah Francs vocal leads, across a gnarly FM synth lead and sassy Roland drum groove. Lulah’s enchanting vocals give this one an extra edge to captivate any dance floor it meets.

‘Don’t Feed The Tiger’ combines Indo-influences with modal vocals and an eastern instrumentation to bask in under the midday sun. A slower tempo from a live-drum groove offers space to move between shaded trees, barefoot in the Balearic sands.

Burnski's Constant Black keeps on serving up the heat with a new one from Michael James, who is something of a label regular by now. He kicks off here with 'Remember' featuring a rather iconic vocal sample that cannot fail to get crowds going. It's well worked over an infectious house beat with warming bass. 'Tequila' is another kinetic cut, this time with skewed synth lines and prickly percussion that is raw and tech-edged. Closing out this classy but party-starting EP is 'Remember Me' (version 2) which is a real pumper with twisted acid lines and a killer groove that is catchy as Covid. Another vital drop from this label, as always.

Vertere Berlin is a contemporary fashion brand and party collective founded by a group of local DJs and designers. It was founded in 2017 and since then rose to international attention for their club-ready streetwear and their fashion collabos with DJs and labels like Jennifer Cardini, Disco Halal, DUAT Records to name a few. Vertere Berlin also made a name for themselve for their hyped party series “Strictly Dancefloor Business” - hosting artists like Roza Terenzi, Narciss, DJ Fuckoff, Boris, Heap as well as their resident DJs.

As a logical next step Vertere Berlin is now launching their music label Vertere Berlin Records.

The first release is by label founder Uli Hasselmann aka Basic Instinct. Basic Instinct’s DJ sets represent a hypnotic and atmospheric dub-house sound. This is also reflected in this release. “Angel Dust” is an elegant and moody house track - enriched with a stab-led groove and a haunting vocal. “Feel It” is dubby and sexy prime-time track. Seducing vocal cuts are joined by a
warm analogue lead line.

The EP also includes two stunning remixes by VRIL and Narciss.

Paranoid London’s PLEDIT series has been a staple for DJs ranging from Tiga to Ben Simms, Marcel Dettman … even Solomun bought a bunch! Devastating dance floor must-haves that just keep coming.

Qasio, chilean producer and DJ based in Berlin makes his debut on 3n0 Records with Sky Patrol, an EP consisting of 4 tracks produced between 2017 and 2021 in Santiago de Chile and Berlin. This work, influenced mainly by acid sounds and rhythms that fuse house, techno and trance, travels through complex and surroundings structures in an atmosphere of apocalyptic science. Abstract sounds evoking landscapes of the future generate a journey of diverse and emotional intensity, conceived as a dancefloor tool.

Next up on Serii Speciale we have another talent from Argentina , Suinyl, 12" limited press on transparent wax

Proudly refusing to let 2020’s negative energies get the better of them, Cologne duo Andhim return with yet another super friendly dispatch: ‘Never Let You Go / Firefly’

Following from their immense and explorative ‘Toy Toy’ EP earlier this summer (an EP inspired by their tours of Asia last year) ‘Never Let You Go’ and ‘Firefly’ comprise even more investigations into the essences of house that inspire them the most. The former is an elegant homage to the garage influence. Poignant pianos, a lavish
vocal hook, strutting 808 beats and bass and cosmic yards of space between; engage bliss mode, Andhim are in full effect right here.

And the bliss mode doesn’t stop there… ‘Firefly’ stacks up even more beautiful feels with a touch down on planet Balearic. Shimmering sunset flavours and an overwhelming sense of innocence and hope that rises throughout, if you’ve been been schooled by the likes of Alfredo or Jose Padilla (Rest In Peace) then you’ll be all over this like ice and a slice.

This is the way to fight 2020’s negative energy: by putting out the positivity you want to hear and remembering those most important to you: the ones we call Superfriends. Stay safe, stay positive.

The second instalment of the Arupa Music Vinyl Limited release presents Bexu, an artist who derives from Cluj-Napoca, North Western Romania. Bexu’s discography has grown steadily over the past few years, and we are super proud to make an addition in physical format.



Title track Calatoria entices mystery from the get go, an artistic soundscape of dreamy, uplifting pads with chugging bass and sharp driving percussion. The hypnotic vocal eagerly anticipating an answer, rightly deserves provoking sequel (part two).



‘Doru Lenii’ is a different approach to the dreamy off kilter nature of the Calatoria tracks. A driving, instructive vocal, builds anticipation and delivers sonic answers for questions asked, chords progress as the track builds, heavy synths drive the track forward and into conclusive territory. A true tale of the sun & moon; day into night, and back into day again.



Crihan’s interpretation of ‘Calatoria responds in true B side fashion, responding with a bounce and giving direction to the adventure mystified in the title track. Off kilter percussion, a focused bassline, vocal converses with ‘Cataloria’, natural production techniques give a truly organic feel. This release disperses absolute warmth.

Transmission number four! Cee Breeze and Midi Drifter coming at you with archive jams...

Produced in London circa 2018-2019BC. From bleep to UKG and a lickle acid assortment, the duo has got you covered from the living room to the rave.

Frankey & Sandrino drop ‘Brainscan’ on Rekids this September.

The German duo have been making music together for over a decade, running the Sum Over Histories imprint and releasing on revered labels such as Innervisions, Mule Musiq, Kompakt, and Diynamic. Now arriving on Radio Slave’s Rekids for the first time, the pair deliver two stunning productions that showcase their ability to craft emotive and punchy dancefloor tracks.

On the A-side, ‘Brainscan’ leads with wonky synths, trippy FX, and dense vocal chants evolving into a lush, chugging track. On the flip, ‘Condesa’ combines slow-motion breakbeats, dynamic progressions, and soaring leads for a riveting piece that perfectly rounds out the B-side.

Volume 3 of the killer Moxy Muzik Editions series sees another who’s who of some the scenes top names, coming together on one standout EP.

Kicking things off, Moxy label boss Darius Syrossian teams up with wAFF for ‘You Cant Stop The Dance’. An oldskool techno-channelling weapon with that rough tough percussive vibe, that was made in lockdown when the government had the cheek to tell people in the music and arts to retrain and reskill into different sectors.

Up next, Lucas Alexander - Enter The Who? A very clever sample of hip hop royalty, this has 10/10 levels of funk when it comes to the bassline and was first played on the main stage at Defected Croatia last summer. A string of DJs have been asking after a copy since, but of course its vinyl only.

On the B side Rooleh – Don’t Need You, again a slice of sampling gold, the young Dutch producer was bombarded with requests for this to get released after hearing it in the wild. Another vinyl only bit of ammunition for the bag.

Fleur Shore - Summer Of Love rounds it out, a lush summery house heater that is the only cut on this EP getting a digi release alongside the vinyl too.

DJ Honesty is back on Scenario with a quality 4 track E.P.

Landmarks and milestones are always memorable, but the 50th EP release on FUSE feels that little bit more special as head honcho Enzo Siragusa steps up to the mark and returns for the second time this year. Having launched the label in 2011 with his now iconic ‘The Sagamore’ EP, the renowned selector and producer has grown and shaped the FUSE from a Sunday after-hours to one of the most notable names within house and techno worldwide - anchoring the label at the heart of its identity and bringing its trademark sound to an international audience. Following material from original residents Rich NxT, Rossko, Seb Zito and Archie Hamilton through to regular guests and close friends such as Guti, East End Dubs, Michael James and Fabe, October sees Siragusa showcase both his and FUSE’s evolution over the past decade as he uncovers two bustling productions across his ‘Dreamscape’ EP.

A production oozing with his signature sound, yet introducing fresh subtleties in amongst the track’s snaking groove and hypnotic melodies, ‘Dreamscape’ welcomes a title cut full of energy as the FUSE boss picks up right where he left off to provide yet more heavily requested material on home turf. On the flip, ‘Bean That Talks’ sees Siragusa get playful while maintaining the vigour of his bustling live sets, combining chunky low-ends with skippy percussion and rich pads to showcase precisely why he and FUSE continue to flourish as leaders of a sound that they can truly call their own.

One of music's most unpredictable characters Tricky is back with his new album Adrian Thaws, released in conjunction with !K7 Records and his imprint False Idols.
'Calling it Adrian Thaws is saying you don't really know me,' says Tricky, explaining the title of his 11th album. 'So many times people have tried to put a finger on me and every album I
go to a different place.'It's typical of one of music's most unpredictable characters that the first album to bear his
birth name is one of his least introspective. Adrian Thaws is a vivid, attention-grabbing set of songs which roamfrom hip hop to house, jazz to blues, rock to reggae. It was recorded in
Tricky's home studio in London, where he's living again after almost two decades in New York, Los Angeles and Paris, and features an international crew of collaborators: Francesca
Belmonte, Nneka, Mykki Blanco, Bella Gotti, Tirzah, Blue Daisy and Oh Land. It's designed to be played loud.
'I suppose this is my club/hip hop album,' he says. 'I've only heard my music a few times in a club but I grew up in clubs from when I was 14: blues parties, hip hop clubs, a few raves. I'm
not known for doing club music but this album has some club tracks on it — well, what I would consider club music.'
Tricky makes complicated music because Adrian Thaws has had a complicated life. Born in 1968, he grew up in an extended family that was both black and white, urban and rural, containing strong women and volatile men. His choice of cover versions is revealing. Janet Kaye's 1979 lovers rock classic Silly Games reminds him of his childhood in Bristol's Knowle West district. London Posse's 1990 track Gangster Chronicle harks back to his musical apprenticeship with the Wild Bunch and Massive Attack under the name Tricky Kid before he launched his solo career with 1995's startling Maxinquaye. Tricky has always used music to explore the different, sometimes contradictory facets of his
background and personality. 'I can be anything I want when I do an album,' he says. 'I could be a woman, I could bea man. It's great to be able to be all these different things.'
