Ordered From the Catalog [Audio CD] Only Child; Tony D; Rae & Christian; Fingathing; J Walk; Aim; Riton and Mark Rae & Mr. Scruff

Mark Rae serves up the specials in this superbly constructed mix, free of what he describes as "computer twonkery" for Ordered From The Catalogue. Completely live in other words, using just a mixer and two turntables to drop personal favourites from his label's acclaimed six-year history into a selection that throws caution to the wind in preference of some fast and loose deck trickery. A prevalence of cutting, scratching and the occasional spinback amount to a glorious 70 minutes, which will have b-boys windmilling around their living rooms while the music itself manages to retain a quality which is as valid to armchair aficionados as it is to the time-served headz. --Kingsley Marshall
