Next up in the series exploring the extraordinary corners of some of the finest DJs' collections, we present this beauty from one half of Optimo (Espacio) - JD Twitch. Twitch delves into the work of under-stated, under-rated and oft-forgotten UK reggae producer and artist, Mike Dorane.
Some words from the man himself:
"It’s a 100% Mike Dorane selection and features some sadly crazily hard to find music. Jamaican born, UK raised, Dorane was a multi-instrumentalist and on many of the tracks here he plays everything you hear. He was active throughout the 70s and is perhaps best known for releasing the Disco Dub Band’s For the Love Of Money on his Movers label but is sadly mostly forgotten despite having one of the most unique and magical sounds of the era. I’m on a mission to make his music available again but it is proving very difficult. I'll be very happy if this mix lets some people hear his music in the meantime. Hope you dig."
