Ballistic Brothers, The - Blacker / Cubafro Con Amigos (2025 Reissue)

*Re-press of first-time 7″ release / limited 300 copies
red vinyl / Shipping from 11 August*
If you were part of a clubbing tribe in 1994 – any
clubbing tribe – you will have danced to the Ballistic
Brothers astounding ‘Blacker’. A track on a
mysterious 12-inch that no-one could quite work out
if it was a 12-inch single of a cheaply packaged album
(it was in effect a 12 inch EP), but in the end it didn’t
matter. It provided any DJ with a guaranteed dancefloor
winner. A sly mix of beats and samples, it is
nothing short of an anthem, and with the full cooperation
of the group, we are making it available for
the first time as a 7-inch single.
The Ballistics – Ashley Beedle, Rocky, Diesel and
David Hill – went on to record a further 12-inch EP
and two full-length albums, making them one of the
cult names of 1990s music. On the flip of this seven
is one of their most popular cuts, what at the time
was an LP-only track ‘Cubafro Con Amigos’, which
has been specially edited for this release.
Following the sellout of the first-time 7″ in 2023, we
are excited to offer a repress. Limited to 300 copies
and pressed on transparent red vinyl in a black disco
bag!
