Various Artists - If Music presents: You Need This! An Introduction to the Handson Family - DOUBLE LP

This BBE released compilation is seriously a must have in any Black Music lover's collection.
Compiled by the London DJ and promoter duo of husband and wife team, the Handson
Family, as part of the massively important If Music presents: You Need This series and
released on the UK's foremost independent Black Music label, An Introduction to the
Handson Family has Black Music heritage coursing through it's ten tracks.
With a tracklist that includes music from Emanative, the much missed genius of south
London's Ty, Cecilia Statin, Xantone Blacq and more, the album that Cyndi and Christian
have put together is one that sheds light on the high quality and considered variety of
selections in their DJ sets (Including Cross the Tracks, Southport Weekender and We Out
Here), their hugely influential Off The Shelf radio show on Soho Radio and their south
London residencies.
If you are looking for knowledge in what is the sounds and styles of Black Music genres in
recent years then this is a compilation that will be an education in absolute brilliance, if you
are aware of these artists and tracks then this is a release that brings them together in a DJ
set style of the highest order and if you are so far unaware of the Handson Family and their
undoubted influence on south London place in the capital's (and the Uk's) club culture then
here is their calling card.
Releasing as both digital and a double vinyl LP, If Music presents You Need This: An
Introduction to the Handson Family is simply superb and is unapologetically Black Music
selected by Black DJs for everybody.
