Mercy Mercy / As Far As My Eyes Can See

Portland's Elite Beat is a musical collective with a history spanning back to 2006.Selected Rhymths is packed full of DIY dub mixing, cosmic orchestration and raw, percussion driven polyrhythms, the recordings have been remastered and put to vinyl for the first time with sections from Casual Rhythms Vol. 1 being re-shaped into previously unavailable single tracks.The sound is genre-less rhythm music with an emphasis on live playing, free form expression and technique that borrows from soundsystem culture. Inspiration can be heard from all parts of time and place. Some Ethio Jazz, Black Ark psychedelia, Exotica, Malian blues, even Haight-Ashbury in the summer of love.

Previously unreleased dub plate mixes of some classic Lee Perry material!

Released in 1979, self-financed by loans from friends and allies, Mandinka Dong - The Mandinke Dance - is the genesis of Touré Kunda, the cornerstone of the band’s unique sound, at the crossroads of Disco, Funk, Pop, Reggae, Portuguese, Guinean, Cuban, Zairean, Mandinke and Soninke music.

"11 song LP compiling nearly all of the remaining '70s and '80s output of Clive & Trevor not already re-released by DKR. Vocals, dubs and a deejay cut culled from various releases are all corralled here to complete the picture of the great body of work from these long time partners."
