Little does the French government know, as it attempts to pass Criminal Justice-style legislation to shut down the country's latecomer outdoor raves, that the idle hands of the oppressed youth will simply turn to rolling even bigger blunts and listening to the fusion-skool spliffscapes of the Lyon based Le Peuple. This 12" showcase for their 'OOO+' album ranges from the chilled-out, scratched-up
MC Solaar-isms of 'PH Theme' to the Cuban-tinged house roller 'Grooovembar', and all of it locks in effectively even if you're not doped to the gills. The world just about has room for an even more skunked-out French Herbaliser. Let's call them Daft Blunt.
