Rewind: Special Request
October 29, 2009
Stop whatever you are doing and listen to this record. It may be from 2003, it may be really badly recorded, and it may be deeply offensive but it is still amazing.
Special Request is a paen to some of Britain’s favourite serial killers and a rock solid old school dancehall track to boot. When it came out there were rumours that this was a Chris Morris side project. There was also a story that Carlton Killawatt Valley was an unemployed plumber from Wolverhampton (or something like that). Either way they’re on to a winner.
Have a listen here if you dare.
Killawatt Valley is also to be found on MySpace and some of his more recent tracks are available from the excellent Rubadub records.
NB: I think it’s fair to say that this track is, in internet parlance, NSFW. Use your headphones.
