about

Mixtapes were great, weren’t they? When someone lovingly put together a comp of their favourite tunes just for you, it got you right in the feels. Albert’s Favourites takes its name from just such a mixtape. An annual summer-holiday collection by Albert, grandfather of label co-founder Scrimshire.

So following the label’s busiest and most prolific year to date, it seems appropriate to finally collect together, in similar form, a collection of highlights.

In three years Albert’s Favourites has gone from just a concept to routinely selling out vinyl releases by artists who represent an essential core of the South London soul, jazz and dance movement. With many of these tracks featured regularly on BBC6 Music, Worldwide FM, NTS and Balamii, and radio stations across the globe, the compilation is predominantly a summary of 2018, but with a couple of older tracks to bring you up to date from our humble beginnings.

Hector Plimmer starts the proceedings with the amazing psychedelic afrobeat of ‘Eastern System’, followed swiftly by some spaced out Jazz Funk from The Expansions, including the hugely loved ‘Cannonball’, which has been pulling in some serious support around the world.

Tracks from Jonny Drop like the classic debut beats of ‘This Is The One’ sit alongside the electric funk of ‘Kingswood Drive’ by Modified Man, while Aeshim’s ‘Hot Scissors’ and ‘Try Love’ sew the Albert’s tapestry together.

Remixes from Julien Dyne, Reginald Omas Mamode IV, Emma-Jean Thackray and Deoke interject with flavours of
their own, helping to expand the Albert’s story and take you along the ride.

These are all songs we love, capturing the spirit of Albert’s Favourites in our selection. We hope this can be the soundtrack to your own journey. Enjoy.
