Your Essential Guide To The Sound Of UK Urban 2003

3 CDs. 30 tracks, 16 of which are brand new and / or exclusive mixes. All the biggest names in the urban scene – Panjabi MC, Artful Dodger, Bally Sagoo, Ganja Cru, Swami, Asian Dub Foundation, Beenie Man. 10 in the shops.

There must be a catch, we hear you say.

Well, if there is, we haven’t found it. Urban Underground is the result of a six-month collaboration between two of the UK’s leading entertainment companies: Decadance is the UK’s leading mid-price record company responsible for putting the record out and Shaanti is the biggest and most successful club / management / independent label in the burgeoning Asian dance scene and is responsible for much of the material on the album. Everything presented on Urban Underground is the latest and best that the scene currently has to offer.

Tracks such as Stereo Nation’s “Mitran” and Shabz’ “Armageddon” are brand spanking new mixes exclusively commissioned for this album. YOU WON’T HEAR THESE TRACKS ANYWHERE ELSE! There are more too – see the tracklist below for full details.
