At the end of 2019 Hector Plimmer released his second album, Next To Nothing, to huge love and support from Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Tom Ravenscroft and many more. Support across BBC Radio 6 Music led single Somebody Else to four weeks on their playlist.
Now Albert’s Favourites are bringing through a selection of remixes from the album. Following on from the huge Elkka remix of Joyfulness, the label have joined up with the legendary Matthew Herbert for a bewildering and other-worldly journey into Andrew Ashong collaboration, Wall Street. Breaking up South London soul man, Ashong’s vocals into a ghostly exchange with a mind-bending bass line and double-time rhythm, the “Street Dub” is unmistakable Herbert quirkiness.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
The French producer's debut makes an ideal chillout soundtrack, its synth jams swirling with Balearic textures and hypnotic trip-hop beats. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 21, 2024

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
