UrbanWorld Record's two first releases have been on the top sales charts on both SoulSedection and Juno Downloads almost from day one. Unkle Ho and Analogik have made us belive in the project, and we knew that we had a hard time finding a worthy third release.

A long time friend of ours, Al Lindrum, now resident in Barcelona and known from Alberta In Love and The Beat Nation teamed up with DJ WellBecome from the legendary Polka parties in Denmark to form a very special colaboration "Al Lindrum & His Magic Hat". With DJ WellBecome's magic and Al's production skills the duo produced two tracks for us. It is a heavy roller not to be stopped, with heavy bass, jazz and balkan vibes right for the dance-floor. We invited the Spanish producer Makala and our own Unkle Ho to do the remixes. All in all we think this is a very spicy Paella indeed. An a worthy third release.

Sometimes you don't realise there is a new style of music around till it has already been here for some time. Over the last few years there has been a definite new genre developing, based on mashing up beats, swing, jazz, balkan, latin and other global musical influences, with a really cheeky edge. Check Makala, DJ Kormac, Toy Selectah, Palov and Mishkin, Nicodemus, Up Bustle and Out, Ahilea, Sola Rosa etc etc. It's coming together strongly and if ever one record label typified the genre then it's Urban World. So far every release from Urban World has been top of the box stuff and this is no exception. It just needs a name. Art-funk? Burlesque-beat? Quirk-core? Who knows but I'm increasingly playing nothing else in my sets. Absolutely love it. Keep up the good work.
