Following on from last years highly-rated selection of P&P material by Danny Krivit comes this mega-mix by the Dope Man. What’s notable here, apart from the overall quality of the music, is the diverse range of styles that the label covered. From down-tempo Rap to up-tempo Disco, plus the more soulful sounds of one of the standout cuts here ‘It ain’t no big thing’ by Personal Touch, P&P alongside its distributed imprints really did touch all bases. But back to the beginning and Fly Guy’s spoken party-time word which kicks of the mix that then builds with various nuggets from the likes of Gary Davis, Cloud One and Lanier’s trend-setting ‘25 hours’. Tempos vary, as does the music, but that all makes for a more exciting journey and it being Kenny Dope some of it is mixed, some cut-up, and some is scratched for that all important authentic touch.
