CHROME

A miraculous sequel to the 2001 Mo Wax raga/dancehall compilation "Now Thing" is now available on analog. The legendary first compilation, which became a gateway to a different dimension of dancehall sound for many people, was released by Chrome, a label run by London DJ Felix Hall, who also boasts a cult following with his mixtape cassettes for The Trilogy Tapes and Cav Empt. Just as roots reggae and dub influenced disco and post-punk in the '70s, jungle, rap, garage, and even pop and rock have all come together in the same way. From Dave Kelly to Steely & Clevie, NYC's Bobby Konders to Ward 21, only the most important cuts from the scene's leading producers are featured. Mastered by Rashad Becker, with art & design by Will Bankhead & Oliver Payne. The album was mastered by Rashad Becker, with art work & design by Will Bankhead, Oliver Payne, and liner notes by Lloyd Bradley.
