When you go to the Doctor, he may have to refer you to the Emergency Department. In the case of The Rhythm Doctor, this is an emergency as the first release on the label sold out very quickly and with only 300 vinyl sets of 'Digital Juju', it's time to act now!
Chris Long (aka The Rhythm Doctor) has set up the label Almost Unkown in Tallinn where he lives, DJs and broadcasts from IDA Radio every Monday.
And as for thier, the Rhythm Doctor has a seven track album out his own label.
Gilles Peterson is a big fan and old associate; dating back to his Peterson's broadcasting days in his parents' garden shed - see interview on Worldwide FM HERE - and this release is a reflection of Long's own radio show with the tracks being an infusion of "deep techno, sparse dub, dense ambience and fierce percussion" that feels like that other doctor, Dr. Strangedub, Steve Barker, Fela Kuti/Highlife, elements of On-U-Sound and more.
The semi-Paisley-fractal artwork is a combination of 'The Grand Illusion' by Prof. Akiyoshi Kitaoka and Chris' collage idea and don't you just love the 'Digital Juju' is only available as a physical release! What a wag, he is.
If you're in East London tomorrow at 3pm, get down to the 'Digital Juju' album launch party at the Love Vinyl record store (see HERE)
