10. Attica Blues ‘Contemplating Jazz’
"Holding the test pressing of Vibes, Scribes ‘N’ Dusty 45’s in my hand for the first time will forever go down as one of my happiest musical memories. I fought so hard to find a way to make music work as a career. To actually hold and touch a piece of music I’d made was monumental in building my confidence in other areas of my life. Opportunities for people of colour in the music industry have always been limited, but back in the early ’90s opportunities were even more scarce, so I’ll always be indebted to James Lavelle for taking a chance on me. It’s not my most favourite record that I’ve made, but it’s definitely the most important one within the archive."
