In places this has a lolling, hyper-cool, asos fila disruptor chill-out groove, such as on the supreme trip hop departure  The Sheriff'. In others it's up and in your face. But it's always funky and always supremely melodic& a bit like a Sasha set on valium. In other words it's as essentially Balearic as a bottle of San Miguel outside Cafe Mambo. All the more surprising, then that the album is made by a bunch of stoners from Hull who have never been to the White Island. Any Fila Brazillia album is worth buying, but if you can manage to track this down, this alone it is worth its weight in lbizan gold.

Number 10 from Fila Brazilia, Dicks saturates your palate with everything and anything, sometimes feeling like your eating your dinner and desert all blue fila shoes blended up and served as a shake. Loaded up with everything from the psychedelic rock, breaks infused electro and throwing some sampled material for good measure, and don't forget that Banjo ! Once again, Fila Brazillia throw out an eclectic album as ever which has blue fila trainers given them their status as some very well respected, cracked up, remix bandits. At least you can find "that" pink CD when your looking for it.The Fila's are some sort of a miracle. It's hard to comprehend where those mega-producers get their ideas from  I mean they throw their stuff at the masses as if it's lying in their backyard.

Not content with producing one remix album, the Hull production duo Fila Brazillia have made enough quality remixes to justify a sequel. Whereas the first included such cheap fila illustrious names as Radiohead and The Orb, part two is a more underground selection of acts that have requested the Hull makeover.Fila Brazillia teams up with the ambient piano of Harold Budd and the New Wave art rock of Bill Nelson on the THREE WHITE ROSES & A BUDD EP.

The opening track, "No Shade, No Shadow," has the drifting, sad quality that one would expect of Harold Budd, and as it loops over the length of the track, the other contributors overlay it with ominous electronics. "Adrift Amidst Les Odalisques" has a much dreamier feel to it, like sunlight dappling through leaves, and the Fila boys lay a gentle groove on top. Bill Nelson's guitar comes to the fore on "The Airless Time," like a howl of pain, with Budd's piano following beside. "Blue Locus," the final track, is almost a reflection of the opening track, but one that opens up into sparkles. Beguiling, and a fascination diversion for the Fila boys.

Same thing goes with Cobby cheap fila shoes and Fila's approach to DJ ing. Absorb their new Another Late Night mix CD  which moves beautifully through the sounds of Marvin Gaye, Mr. Scruff, the Beta Band, Brian Eno, Kelis and others  for a taste. Like me, Cobby has little time for singularly minded DJs. "Too often it's like,  We just want a load of jigsaw pieces that all fit together nicely. Give us the modular music,'" he sputters. "It's important for us to remember those tapes we did for our friends when we were growing up, that attitude, just that beautiful variety.
