Diesler - The Rhythm Station (Bonus Edition) (2023)

Freestyle bring us an extended reissue of an album that first saw the light of the day back in 2007. Burnley's Jonathan Radford AKA Diesler was a busy lad in the mid-00s, dropping long-players on the Tru Thoughts label in 2005 and 2006 before switching to Freestyle for his third. 'The Rhythm Station' features many different vocalists and covers a range of styles, from straight-up soul to broken beat and hip-hop... and that's just in the first three tracks! Elsewhere on the album there's room too for lounge-y jazz ('Dopplegang Land') and shufflin' Latino vibes ('The I In Team'), while this Bonus Edition adds in a trio of remixes courtesy of Lack Of Afro, Deela and The Jazzinvaders.
