Skill Mega - New songs on the way

Skill Mega were formed early in 2004 when London based rappers Reps and Dan Fresh (of Brighton's legendary Lost Souls, Janomi records) began working on a project with Bournemouth DJ Rod Dixon for the fledgling label Cryogenics (Double D Dagger, The IRS , Usmaan) alongside producer Peepin' Tom.A chance encounter between Rod and Polish Super producer OSTR in a Bournemouth record shop culminated in a collaboration on Cryogenincs -Bitter Blocker EP which also featured Lost Souls emcees Uncle Dickie and Witchdocter Wise and jazz singer Amanda Stevens.A short tour of Poland and numerous UK dates soon followed and Skill Mega spent the following year cultivating new songs for their debut album, occasionally playing out in Poland and popping up for a quick cameo alongside Tame One on OSTR's critically acclaimed '7' album.By the tail end of 2006 Skill Mega's debut Album 'Normal Magic' was finally finished, incorporating the talents of the three main Megas alongside Uncle Dickie, Witchdocter Wise, Amanda Stevens and Zebra Traffic's rising star Rup the Cnut.You can buy it from the shops if you live in Poland.

This is a current review (translated into English) of Normal Magic from Poland's only pop-cultural-monthly "Machina" excerpts from content: Person number One here is OSTR. With his funk-full beats he proves once againg he's a premiere league player. What is most admirable is his good taste in little things. Also no one can complain now that music is not selected right... "Normal Magic" is a row of hits, one by one. Dan Fresh and Reps go along the vibe, with so cheerfull accent afirmating everydayness with their lines. "If Your loving Your life/If your dying inside" - its an album for You. The best Asfalt release this year!
