Press Release :
The pioneers are back!! NEW FLESH have always been more than a step in front of the opposition, and from the opening bars of "Backyard," probably the freshest dancehall tinged riddim heard from the UK, it's clear that "UNIVERSALLY DIRTY" is going to be something very special.

With producer & disposable graffiti artist PART 2 mixing up a fresh blend of hip hop, dancehall, soca, grime and Britfunk, this is an album which perfectly sums up where Black British music should be – original, vital, infectious & outward-looking, whilst still smashing the floor! Add to this heavy soundscape the contributions of two world class MCs, JUICE ALEEM (collaborator with COLDCUT & ADAM FREELAND) and the multi diverse TOASTIE TAILOR, then you have a serious contender for an album of the year!

Lead single "Wherever We Go" combines an epic chorus with acoustic guitar, strings and a heavy b-line to show that New Flesh can do catchy whenever they like. From here the LP continues to accelerate! Over a gripping Part 2 hyper-grime riddim, "Howz Dat?," Juice sets his tongue skipping and shows that there isn't an MC in the country who can out-technique him. Toastie, on the other hand, uses his solo track "Home Movie" to suggest a little naughtiness with a video camera, a perfect summary of the yin and yang which makes these two vocalists so complementary.

"Who's The Daddy" is a pointed reminder that this trio pioneered much of what is considered "now" in today's British Urban music scene, and "Arms House" shows that they can bring the lyrical assault and battery with the best of them. "Don't Look Now" joins the dots between grime, old skool and electro in the kind of effortless way that only New Flesh can do. "Money Movers" adopts the "think big get big" motto, playing games with the stock market from their virtual office.

Running towards the end of the record, "Trouble" features the only collaborator, LSK, on a reggaefied dub epic. "Give Up The Fight" is a reminder of the original roots of the New Flesh sound, whilst the last track of the record, "Come Again" delivers a message to the world that they will keep coming back stronger every time. NEW FLESH, one of the finest, most innovative crews the UK has ever produced are back again, and they're better than ever!!
