A Muso’s Top 10: Dälek

Damn, if you look at my iPod it’s very schizophrenic. As far as new stuff I’ve been listening to goes, I’m a big fan of Flying Lotus and a huge fan of Kevin Martin –The Bug Project – I think that’s amazing. Other than that, I listen to a lot of old shit. I’m a big fan of Iron and Wine, and a lot of old school salsa. I still listen to old-school hip-hop, but this is what I've had on lately...
1. D’Angelo – Feel Like Makin' Love
2. Héctor Lavoe – Mucho Amor
3. Iron and Wine – Radio War
4. James Brown – Out of Sight
5. Modeselektor - Earth
6. Tom Petty – Time to Move On
7. Al Green – Full of Fire
8. Billie Holiday – The Very Thought of You
9. Booker T and the MG’s – Mo’ Onions
10. Chris Kenner – Sick and Tired
That's funny, not one hip-hop song...I must’ve been fuckin’ that night.
New album Gutter Tactics is released on 26 Jan via Ipecac.
