| · Another reason to go down the up escalator. Their aim is true.
Prolific, intelligent and sonically determined, Tru Thoughts is producing some of the most innovative left field beat music heard in years. While this label, unlike Ninjatune, is certainly not the pioneering kind, it’s blowing the doors open on the sound that was once only attributed to artists on the Ninja, G-Stone or Compost roster.
Tru Thoughts specializes in the bastardized beat realm and this compilation proves they can spliff with the best of them. There really is something for everyone – meaty downtempo, break powered nu-jazz, dub infused smokers, funked-out French hip-hop and even a nod to the intelligent jungle realm. Perfect for those who prefer to keep their progress on the down low.
Chances are slim to none that another label will assemble a body of work this solid almost right out of the gates and as a result Tru Thoughts is fast proving itself as a force to be reckoned with
