Well Deep:10 Years Of Big Dada
Big Dada
HIP HOP
BIG DADA was started when then-music journalist WILL ASHON approached PETER QUICKE (head of NINJA TUNE) and suggested a hip hop label to run alongside but independently of the venerable indie.
Whilst “underground hip hop” became shorthand for a kind of nostalgic belief in “real hip hop” and dusty samples, Big Dada continued to evolve. Ashon maintains, though, that the label has stayed true to its founding principles. “I always thought the basic principle of hip hop was to keep moving, to constantly be trying something new. To be fresher than everyone else!”
In that 10 years they have brought us an amazing array of music: ROOTS MANUVA, SPANK ROCK, TTC, TY, CLOUDEAD, DIPLO, KING GEEDORAH / MF DOOM, WILEY and much, much more.
This amazing 2CD set (see next box for DVD info) feature tracks from all artists that have recorded on the label (and all the biggest hits) as well as a bunch of unreleased treats. Not just the UK’s greatest hip hop label, Big Dada are now regarded as pioneering the essence of hip hop GLOBALLY!
