Canadian rapper Madchild (Swollen Members) is solid but might not strike everyone’s fancy. Moderat is an electronic “supergroup” comprising Modeselektor and Apparat. Kon (of the elite beat digging duo Kon & Amir) brings some original neo-disco, future soul, house type music. Don’t know much about Raffertie but comes off as pretty minimalistic, electronic soul somewhat à la James Blake. Slew brings some pretty tight Blues/Rock stylings by way of a scratch dj, reminiscent of Mr. Dibbs. The Tru Thoughts label from across the pond rounds things out with another good comp of modern soul and r&b complete with some remixes. Done. And done.
