Review: The mysterious Knowone imprint presents a collection of dusty, smoked out, dub techno journeys. This is the real deal; for those of you who aren't familiar, this label is highly recommended for fans of Basic Channel, Echospace or Meanwhile. Enough said, right? This collection comes in a limited edition, handmade wooden box with 5 x 12"s and 2 CDs. It's hard to pick a highlight from here because all the tracks on here are so damn good. But we do particularly enjoy the glacial and cavernous vibes of Track 3, the hypnotic and dubby deep house on "Track 5" while "Track 8" sounds like Jeff Mills and Stephen Hitchell going on a stoned UFO journey over the Arctic.

Review: This is a monster overview of one of roots and regales most vital labels over the last forty years. Coming in at a whopping 94 tracks across 12"s, 7"s, CDs, booklets and art cards, this collection packs in obscure sub-label rarities next to big hitters that all very much trace the history and evolution of the genre. Curated by VP Records' Carter Van Pelt, this is a great way to explore the label who made stars of artists such as Sean Paul, Beenie Man and Wayne Wonder through stoner anthems to deep cut soul soothers via empowering anthems that resonate to this day.
