Here, Toddla T does the next-to-impossible, and gives us a Roots Manuva collaboration that can actually be described as a full blown summer dance party affair.

It’s a stark contrast to Manuva’s paranoia-laden previous output like “Awfully Deep”, which sounds more like it was recorded while he was barricaded in a dark room performing a homemade exorcism. But all things considered, Watch Me Dance feels nothin’ but natural, and its laid back funkiness suits Manuva’s delivery quite well. Hooray for getting rid of your ghosts!

Watch Me Dance drops August 1st.

…in the Roots Manuva competition. James Yuill sent over the remix we liked the most and with that he grabbed the prize package. A big thanks to him and everyone else that sent us remixes. We had a hard time picking a winner with all the great stuff we got.

Here is the winning remix:

Roots Manuva – Buff Nuff (James Yuill remix) (direct link)

We were sent the accapella for Roots Manuva‘s “Buff Nuff” the other day and thought that it might be a fun thing do some kind of competition with it. We asked the good folks over at Big Dada if they had something they could give away to the one person that turns in the most wicked remix of the track.

So one winner will get a signed package of all three album releases; LTD 2CD, double vinyl and standard CD.

So if you are a Roots Manuva fan, download the accapella (direct link), remix it and then upload it to our Dropbox. Don’t forget to write an introduction and your email.

This dropped in our mailbox today. Roots Manuva is back with a new album entitled “Slime & Reason” which will be released on August 25th. To hold us over until then is this new Toddla T produced track “Buff Nuff”, Sheffield dancehall ftw.
