Lots of great beats, a variety of musical textures, and always damn catchy. Despite the contrasting musical styles and time periods, this is one of my most cohesive tapes.

An institution in New Zealand, but relatively unknown in the U.S., Shona Laing began recording in the early seventies. But her first U.S. release, "South" didn't appear until 1988. She's released three …
