Anything Mek touches is gold.
There’s rumblings on RíRá’s myspace that he might be working on an album. I certainly can’t wait.
Its a deadly mix, cheers nialler
Mek is a legend to be sure, his Word of Mouth mixtapes inspired me to buy a pair of 1210’s back in the day!
He was supposed to release an album about six years ago called ‘Mekanisms’.
Apparantly he had a track done with Suggs & Rodney P!
Check out the ‘Mekstravision trailer’ on youtube, quality viewing!

I have a great CD for you to check out! It’s called Above the Bones and it’s by the artist Mishka.
He’s got a really smooth sound and he’s got lots of soul…the CD is a great play for summer.
