Blu Rum 13 - Smell the Urgency

Have people heard this? It's sick as fuck, can't believe I just discovered it. Apparently it's been out for like 5 years. Check it out:

Nice find, thanks! Didn't know about it too, cool track!

Album is fucking great

Great! Sounds 100% vibert with vocals on top

Hey guys..... does anyone know where to get this? Just found out about this. I swear this wasn't on discogs before? =/

9 years, according to discogs. I knew he did a bit of stuff with rappers but never a whole album! Great find.

Wow, the whole album is produced by Luke in 2004?! What a nice treat, I'm buying this immediately. Thanks for the link.

Quickly skimming through the album, Deviant Diction is a killer! It has a few samples and beats that appear on Rhythm as well. I'll sit down with this later

This is crazy, there is almost ZERO information about this album on the internet.

What's there to know? Its a good album.

From 1998 to 2006, BluRum13 was closely associated with London-based DJ Vadim and the Ninja Tune record label when he toured as emcee for Vadim’s live group The Russian Percussion^[2] (also featuring beatboxer Killa Kela and DJ Mr Thing)

BluRum13 has been a member of several bands, including Montreal-based Bullfrog (featuring Kid Koala, released on Ropeadope/Atlantic Records^[5]), and is a member of the London-based collective the True Ingredients

But notice even on the Blu Rum 13 website there is zero mention of Luke Vibert. I can't find one review or blog posting about the album involved Vibert. I wish he did more albums that sounded like what he was doing in the late 90's and early 00's.

The founder of his group WaterPower (featuring Keyez, Primo the Cinematic and, Resyte Theez), solo emcee BluRum13 has lent his talents to such groups as Us3, One Self, Reverse Engineering, Bullfrog, the Russian Percussion, Resin Dogs, Ez3kiel, Groundworks, True Ingredients, Funginears among others. His passion seems to be in working with a range of sound, teaming up with such producers and Deejay’s as DJ Vadim, Luke Vibert, DJ Grandtheft aka GT, Kid Koala, Ben Mono, Miss Ill and PM.

I dont think its in his discogs on the site because it was never released on a label, or in a physical format.

yeah, I think it just died a death one way or another, and they've found the tape to put it back up on bandcamp.

heck of a thing though, shame it got shelved! i'd like to hear the story behind why it didn't come out. knowing Mr. Vibert it was probably sample clearance issues.

sick ..
