Daddy G Album Review:
Daddy G at 2006-06-01
One of the best things about the DJ Kicks collection is the way it allows the mixers/producers/DJs creating them to really be creative, and give props to their influences. One of the more outstanding examples of this is Daddy Gs mix. Starting with obscure tracks from Willie Williams and Melaaz, he segues into a black box mix of Trickys suffocatingly dense Aftermath, and never looks back. He also gives plenty of face time to his day job in Massive Attack, featuring originals (including I Against I with Mos Def, only available on the Blade II soundtrack, and a barn-burner in its own right) and their remixes of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Les Negresses Vertes. With favorites by Aretha Franklin, Leftfield and Foxy Browns anthemic Oh Yeah rounding out the mix, it establishes itself as a seductive reggae/dub/R and B/Euro conglomeration, and definitely a top-tier collection in a long line of prestigious mixes. Definitely one to cherish and listen to during summer nights.

I am a Massive Attack/reggae fan and my local record store guy suggested I try daddy G out. Its been in my cd player ever since. If you like trance, reggae, soul, r and b, with a little twist of euro underneath...all mixed together smooth deep and delicious ....youll love this one too.

Daddy G Album Editorial:
Some DJs get their kicks by dropping the most obscure tunes they can find. Others take pleasure in kicking back with friends and digging out timeless favorites. Daddy G also known as Grant Marshall belongs to the latter school. These he says of the components of this mix are the records that are always in my box. PAlthough hes best known for comprising one half of Massive Attack Daddy G has been DJing ever since he started making mixes on a cassette recorder at the age of ten. Reggae records filtered through via his older sisters DJ boyfriend. And his devotion to a good bassline grew out of his mid-teen experience of Jamaican sound systems. From around 1982 he ran the Dugout club in St. Pauls part of the unique Bristol scene where reggae and funk collided with post-punk - and eventually produced trip hop.
