Irregular Spirits by The Menagerie

Brighton based Hip Hop collective The Menagerie are about to drop their first new record in eight years!
Originally comprised of producer Tom Caruana (Wu-Tang vs Beatles) and DJ Nick Maxwell, alongside emcees Dr Syntax (Foreign Beggars/Mouse Outfit) and Professor Elemental (Fighting Trousers/Cup of Brown Joy), The Menagerie's last release was 2005's Wild Kingdom.

After an eight year whirlwind of shows, solo projects and underground success, the team has reunited, expanded, and returned to the lab to cook up Irregular Spirits, a wildly original album filled with ridiculous flows, soulful ballads, and hilariously twisted hip-hop phantasmagoria worthy of The Island of Dr. Moreau.

Joining the collective on this eccentric and eclectic project are Dizraeli (Dizraeli & The Small Gods), Longusto (Too Big to Play), Koaste (Black Grass/Kormac), Baba Brinkman (Rap Guide to Evolution), Jon Clark (Special School), Teej (Boiler Room Collective), Simon Mole (Mole & Iris/Chill Pill), Vecks (Ramblers Association/Genius Squad) and Sadie Jemmett (The Blacksmith's Girl), each adding a unique and indispensable flavour to the audio banquet; where enormous boom-bap bangers rub shoulders with excursions into the surreal outer reaches of the mind.

The album was masterminded by the dusty beats genius of Tom Caruana, who is most famous for his 2010 Beatles vs Wu Tang album. It earned him thousands of downloads from eager fans and the admiration of Wu Tang's Raekwon, turning Tom into a cult Internet sensation.

If you buy the vinyl version you'll get 2 EPs by Boiler Room Collective / Menagerie from 2004 absolutely free (while stocks last). The EPs contain tracks from Wild Kingdom and the Boiler Room Collective album.
