Rhythm And Sound Best Friend


Okay so it's been three months since my last post. Who knew blogging was so time consuming. I could run of a long list of excuses but i won't i'll just get back to business.
When i used to buy techno 12"s from such fine establishments in sydney like Reachin Records (RIP) and BPM (now the Record Store) and funnily enough Dance Arena at Sanity in Pitt Street Mall ( Don't laugh they had some heat in there courtesy of Dave Slade). I came across a few by a group called Basic Channel. I loved there minimal dub based sound and used to muse to myself what it would sound like with vocals.
Obvioulsy they did too and eventually released some records under the moniker Rhythm and Sound. Incorprating their stripped back electronic dub sound with such vocal talents such as Tikiman and Cornel Cambell.
This is a 10" of theirs featuring the singer Love Joy one half of the the female roots crew The Love Joys who put out an album on Wackies in the early 80s.
This is for Chris who told me im the laziest blogger he knows. This one's for you mate !

Ha ha for sure only Maruzio and Tiki man made it to sydney too, but i missed their set. Got to see the Bug and warrior Queen though. Plus Sub Bass Snarl who killed it and also Steve Spacek and Mark Pritchard who totally destroyed the dance floor.
