about

The first album from DLX ADV showcases the depth and breadth of their musical chops alongside the key tenants of its message with the polemic ’Let’s Talk About England’ featuring the voices of former Coldcut vocalist: Aurelius Calliste and the unmistakable tones of Roots Manuva collaborator Wayne Paul, both of which you may recognise from their work in the superb Lo Tek Hi Fi.

Celebrated American Hip-Hop artist Mike Ladd voices the lyrics to ‘The Murder That Changed Nothing’, a heart rending litany of hundreds of years of injustice and oppression. The track echoes Ladd's own lament on the death of Amadou Diallo, Feb. 4 ‘99 (For All Those Killed by Cops) from his essential 'Welcome To The Afterfuture' album, a track recorded over 20 years prior to George Floyd’s death at the hands of U.S. Police officers yet sadly still dealing with the same issues.

Inspired by Arthur Rimbaud’s idea that in the face of self interest, complacency and personal interest, DLX ADV and the brilliant Beth Frost remind us that “Love (Needs To Be Re-invented).’ Whilst in ‘We Are Your Gods’ the role corporations like Facebook, Apple and X play in our everyday lives and the consequences of their products and services that they profit from are brought sharply (and loudly) into focus.
