“I love it” – Zane Lowe (Radio 1) on lead single ‘Out In The Streets’.

‘93 Million Miles’ is an unflinchingly ambitious product of international globe-trotting that carves a new faultline into the rapidly expanding terrain of bass music, or whatever it’s being
called this week.

The first point of introduction for many will be the Ini Kamoze sampling behemoth ‘Out In The Streets’, played across specialist Radio 1 with Zane, Gilles Peterson and Rob da Bank all loving it. A combination of the ghosts of 1980s Jamaica and the youth culture explosion of juke, it’s a track immediately championed by ModeSelector, Kode9, Seb Chew, Diplo, Tayo, Sinden, Laurent Garnier, Flying Lotus, Untold, Toddla T, Benji B and Scratcha, amongst others.

Africa Hitech are Mark Pritchard (of Harmonic 313 / Global Communications / countless more psuedonyms’ fame) and Steve Spacek (of Spacek fame and notable Dilla collaborator). They began bonding over their shared passion for the seemingly disparate spheres of bubbling Detroit techno, soul and fierce Jamaican digital dancehall. Africa Hitech is the moniker which represents both Steve and Mark’s love for all things progressive within music, whilst acknowledging that the roots of much of today’s popular music can be traced directly back to Africa.
