|   |  With the outstanding success of the two first ôàmixingö            |   |
|   |  compilations from Jazzanova and ┬me, it would be a hard task       |   |
|   |  finding the next artist that could bring something special for     |   |
|   |  the third in the series, and keep raising the bar - enter Dennis   |   |
|   |  McFarlane (aka Dego) of 4hero.                                     |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  With his partner Mark Clair (aka Marc Mac), 4hero have changed     |   |
|   |  the face of music and made a huge contribution to dance culture.   |   |
|   |  They were regarded as pioneers of jungle and drumænÆbass after     |   |
|   |  their first album ôIn Rough Territoryö, and havenÆt stopped        |   |
|   |  innovating since. In more than 20 years they have released 6       |   |
|   |  albums and set up 5 different labels: Reinforced, Raw Canvas,      |   |
|   |  2000 Black, Omniverse and Twisted Funk. Their album ôParallel      |   |
|   |  Universeö was named NME Album of the Year, and ô2 Pagesö           |   |
|   |  (released on Gilles PetersonÆs TalkinÆ Loud label) was nominated   |   |
|   |  for a Mercury Prize Award, and won them a MOBO Award in 2001.      |   |
|   |  They recently released ôPlay With The Changesö on their own Raw    |   |
|   |  Canvas label, which received a critical acclaim in UK.             |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  On ôàmixingö, 4hero investigate their musical influences; past,    |   |
|   |  present and future. Things start off on a funky note with Bootsy   |   |
|   |  Collins (who played earlier on in his career in James BrownÆs      |   |
|   |  band) and the infectious P-funk of ôFat Catö. Detroit hip hop is   |   |
|   |  covered with the incredible ôGame Overö and the inimitable J       |   |
|   |  DillaÆs ôOver The Breaksö, taken from his legendary posthumous     |   |
|   |  album The Shining. Then itÆs back in time with the electronic      |   |
|   |  music of composer and inventor Raymond Scott, regarded by many as  |   |
|   |  a major influence for musicians such as Robert Moog, Aphex Twin    |   |
|   |  and Boards of Canada. This childish atmosphere is broken with the  |   |
|   |  disco-funk of ôHigh Noonö by Two Sisters from the Carrere imprint  |   |
|   |  of 1983, made of analogue drum beats and keyboard sounds. This is  |   |
|   |  followed nicely with the soulful voice of Face and the break       |   |
|   |  beats of ôAct Like All Is Rightö.                                  |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  The second part of the mix begins with the exceptional             |   |
|   |  roots-reggae sounds of Jamaican dub mixer Scientist aka Hopeton    |   |
|   |  Brown. ôBlood on his Lipsö is a slow instrumental tune with a fat  |   |
|   |  drum beat giving the pace, choppy guitar riffs and some nice       |   |
|   |  guiro sounds in a pure roots-reggae style. For ôRoots Dubö, The    |   |
|   |  Skatelites make great use of their studio effects, with echoes on  |   |
|   |  trumpet, flute and guitar riffs, creating a special sound that     |   |
|   |  had influenced every reggae, dub and broken beat artist since.     |   |
|   |  Once again, Dego switches styles with the wonderful voices of      |   |
|   |  disco legend Patrice Rushen with ôMessage In The Musicö and        |   |
|   |  Georgia Anne Muldrow with ôBlackmanö.                              |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  Sa-RaÆs remix of Roy HargroveÆs ôOn The Oneö is modern soul at     |   |
|   |  its finest, before the compilation ends with the calm and dubby    |   |
|   |  hip hop of ôNighttime Maneuversö by Little Brother, and ôMake      |   |
|   |  Doeö by Detroit producer Waajeed, a brand-new anthem from Fat      |   |
|   |  City records.                                                      |   |
|   |                                                                     |   |
|   |  From new to old Dego teaches us that Black music is constantly     |   |
|   |  innovating but never forgetful of its roots. If you want proof     |   |
|   |  that Black music is always evolving, look no further than 4hero    |   |
|   |  ôàmixingö.                                                         |   |
