Something Different

Well, now it's time for something a little different.

If your; (a) struggling to get through the week, (b) lounging around in the sun, (c) looking for a bit of a change or (d) trying to cap your internet quota to get back at your shit of a brother - we suggest you try this. As the title reads loud and clear, consider this some new age electronic, dub reggae. It's from a man by the name of Manolo Escobar, but you might know him as Mnolo.

Half El Salvadoran, half Nicaraguan, Mnolo has opened up my eyes to just how far electronic sounds have become commenplace. The two tunes featured below make up a small segment of Mnolo's new electronica-infused experimental reggae album 'Irie'. Out on 'Collage Records', the album filters a number of his life interests and provides an offering well beyond my semi-habitial music playlists. Drawing inspiration from his prominent hiphop background, love of all things dub and his passion for Jamaica, he stirs the pot in quite a different way to many of the artists we feature on here. I'll confirm this electro-dub-reggae sound won't be taking over my I-pod, but it definitaly won't be leaving it any time soon. See what you make of the final product and if its something that sparks an interest, buy the album right here.
