Critically acclaimed Brighton based dj/producer Black Grass aka Mex returns with his third album simply entitled ‘Three'. ‘Three' showcases Mex's skills as a multi-genre artist and features a floating cast of guests including hip hop legend J-Live, vocalist Dionne Charles from funk sensations Baby Charles, Hearin' Aid's Aaron Phiri, Benjammin' and Jah Marnyah, along with many more talented contributors.
Internationally regarded artist /dj/producer BLACK GRASS (aka MEX) returns with a brand new album! Following on from the highly acclaimed sophomore ‘A Hundred Days In One' release of '06. With this being the third Black Grass album the title ‘Three' follows suit and, according to Mex, it mirrors another famous trilogy. "This album is my Return of the Jedi, whereas ‘A Hundred Days In One' was my Empire Strikes Back and was quite dark, this is more fun with couple of Ewoks thrown for laughs. Rest assured I won't be ruining it with a load of unnecessary CGI though."
Among the guests on the album, J-Live stands out as a highlight. "The J-Live track came about by chance really. I heard he was playing in Brighton so I managed to hook up with him and we recorded the track the very next day". Another gem off the record is "Bass Man" which features the ragga stylings of Benjammin' - also the first single to be lifted off the album.
‘Three' showcases Mex's unique skills for effortlessly blending and melding sounds to create outstanding songs.
Mex's career spans 20 years and during this time he has built up a reputation as one of the most talented but under-rated DJs. He was resident at the seminal Brighton night Knowledge of Self, then moved on to open for the likes of OC, JURASSIC 5 and BIG L whilst also producing the self-titled album ‘Black Grass' in 2004, and then the critically-acclaimed follow up ‘A Hundred Days in One' in 2006.
'Three' is without a doubt the long awaited classy return from this multi-genre artist whose admirers include DJ SHADOW, DADDY G, LAURENT GARNIER, BAJOU BAZOO, KRAFTY KUTS and PORTISHEAD's ANDY SMITH.
