An outstanding and imaginative collection of old, new and rare breaks - Smith mixes, cuts and layers each track with his usual flair
"A mix album more accomplished than any since Coldcut's 'Journeys By DJ'… The Document II really is that good." - NME Magazine.
Tour DJ & unofficial cratedigger for Portishead, Andy Smith has long been acquainted with the good grooves of yesteryear & the booming beats of today. He supplied his friend Geoff Barrow with the samples that underpinned many a Portishead classic & now drops his second classy mixtape.
The Document II is an outstanding and imaginative collection of old and new: from Serge Gainsbourg to Black Sheep, Kate Bush (!) to Craig G, Three Dog Night to James Brown, Eric B & Rakim to Georgie Fame, Five By Five to Jack Jones, Ultramagnetic MCs to Barbara Acklin… finding strange but beautiful bedfellows, making playmates out of the incompatible - that's the DJ Andy Smith stance!
Delivering another top-class selection of rare hip hop, soul & funk breaks. Smith mixes, cuts & layers each track with his usual flair, working a vibe that few others can achieve.
