Twelve speaks the truth! Reckon I might run him close for Redef associated wax, although I think I'd ultimately fall short (I spot a couple of bits I'm missing!).
On the topic of Damu, this was a bit of a quest..

Back on topic & sticking with Redef, I liked this promo cassette compilation:

I'm also a sucker for all things Funk Night & Will Sessions:

I actually have a few more (esp. if you count related artists like Insight or Kev Brown) that I wasn't able to fit in the picture.
If you look closely you can make out the 'Bright Side' and 'Wie ein Kreis' 10"s on top of the shelf...
But if we counted all the Redef releases that have passed through your hands, E., you'd win by a landslide!

Ooh, I still need that one. (At least I've had a rip for years, so I know the tunes...
) If you happen to have a spare or any tips on finding another, please let me know tho...

I've definitely had more than a few pass through my hands!
That Flex doesn't come up often, but they are around. I only have one copy, but I know someone else that has a copy that may be up for letting it go. No idea on the price, but I can make an enquiry..
The most treasured Damu related records I own however are the TP's of the Y Society LP & 12"s that came out on Tres..
This is probably the coolest vinyl I own and definitely the best from this year:

I *think* I had 2 copies of that at some point, direct from Damu. Not sure now though will have to check (unless I traded one with you Fecam!!?)
Damu & Redef have been threatening to drop 'How It Should Sound' Vols 3-5 for HOW long now?!? 2 years? 3?
well, it all landed here today... didn't realize (or maybe it was a surprise?) but they came with a HISS record bag and a bunch of wicked Redef stickers (i particularly like the "for best results, listen w/headphones")
i'm halfway thru Vol 4 right now and this sh!t is CLASSIC.
can't imagine why a producer would sit on tracks like this for so long.
couldn't help but grab a K-Def/45 King 'Back to the Beat' cassette for the car while i was at it.





(sorry for the shite photos, ya'll know i don't have a camera besides my sh!tty webcam)
Great to hear it OceanMan, although there was never any doubt it would be the sh!t - the man is a master of his craft.
Got mine on order and counting down the days...
Damu LP's are like buses - another one out today!
HISS 3/4/5/Abyss still getting regular play over here..

As much as I love Redef/Damu IMO it's high time for them to move on from the HISS stuff.
C'mon, Damu hasn't released any new music since 2013's 'Spur Momento Trailer' (unless you count one offs like his freestyle track on the new K-Def LP or the somewhat improvised 'Live from WonkaBeats' with Flex)!! Most of his current catalogue was created pre 2010, a big chunk of it even more than a decade ago...
And keep in mind Damu's supposedly sitting on a big pile of other material (altough I obviously don't know how much of it was really recorded or finished):
- 2nd Y Society album/project with Insight (definitely exists)
- an LP with Raw Poetic (I distinctly remember there were supposed to be 3 in total; so far we've only seen the K-Def and Kev Brown ones)
- Damu & MC (Kunal) Presto (those teaser vids on WonkaBeats certainly made it seem like they had some completed tracks under their belt already)
- Damu & Flex Mathews (same as above; they've been working on stuff together for years)
- 'Spur Momento'
I'd be thrilled by any and all of the above. Heck, I've been hoping they'd just put out the beats we got to hear on 'Live from Wonkabeats'... I don't mean to sound like I'm complaining and most certainly not like I'm demanding anything, but I do think the HISS series has kinda run its course (even if it is Redef's all time best selling product).
Some nice records in the mail...
