Mo Kolours, Kutmah and Brownswood Recordings

by Alex Chase on February 1, 2012

Here’s some info about a new compilation we stole from XLR8R. What they forgot to mention is that THE BEST TRACK IS FIRST and Mo Kolours’ second record, EP2: Banana Wine, will be out in March and also kicks off with Ridda Mountain.

“London-via-LA producer, DJ, and visual artist Kutmah—who was infamously deported from the US back in 2010—has curated a new compilation of idiosyncratic and provocative tracks for Brownswood, dubbed Kutmah Presents Worldwide Family Vol. 2. The compilation draws heavily from his roots in LA’s beat scene, tapping Southland producers such as Flying Lotus, Dibia$e, and Samiyam, but also touches on UK bass with tunes from the likes of Slugabed and Hudson Mohawke. The compilation is set for release on March 26, and the record release event featuring The Gaslamp Killer will take place on March 9 in London. The artwork for the release, which was crafted by Kutmah himself, is above, while the compilation’s entire tracklisting is below.”

No, we never thought we’d see the day either. Boutique US label Sweat Lodge Guru approached us about making some copies of Mo Kolours’ EP1: Drum Talking and we thought, well, hell, why not? So here we have just a few copies of what might well be a collector’s item one day – though we ask you not to hold it against us if it isn’t. Check out the pics and if you like what you see just click here to buy it for £5 + P&P or listen to the whole thing for free.
