HUGE NEWS: DJ Rashad & DJ Roc albums for Planet MU


The day has come! We've been dreaming for years now that SOMEBODY would release DJ Rashad's "Its Not Rite" on wax. That dream will soon be fulfilled by none other than UK based Planet Mu, who are also releasing a DJ Nate Ep next week. We will finally be able to replace all those bassless imeem rips with some high quality 320s!!! Happy day!

... from a dissensus thread started in Oct. 08 to DJ Rashad, DJ Roc, DJ Nate, all having vinyl releases on Uk based MU in 2010. We are officially in the future. You think Obama is a closet juke fiend? I bet he gets down.

Well the electronic veterans have now announced full details of DJ Rashad and DJ Roc’s releases for the imprint. First off, Rashad, a veteran of the Chicago dance scene whose links to Paul Johnson and DJ Godfather go back years (you might remember that us and Night Slugs tried to book him for our Cable party this year, but immigration weren’t as keen on the idea), will release a six-track EP this October titled Itz Not Rite.

Rashad, along with his partner DJ Spinn, made his name on a series of releases for Juke Trax and Databass, many of which are available for download on Juno and Boomkat. He also represents the snappier, more club-focused side of juke, compared to DJ Nate’s pitch-bent cuts for the weirder side of the dancefloor. Itz Not Rite drops early October.

Later in October, DJ Roc will release his album for Mu, The Crack Capone. Roc has been producing juke for the best part of a decade, and formed the Bosses of the Circle crew who put on some of the city’s more successful juke parties. They were also, according to Mu, the first juke squad to put out their own mixtapes, the Juke City series.

Itz Not Rite will be released on October 4, The Crack Capone October 20.
