Don Leisure - Shaboo Strikes Back (Album)

First Word Records is very proud to welcome back Cardiff-based Producer & DJ Don Leisure, with a brand new 25-track album ‘Shaboo Strikes Back’. As well as his work as Darkhouse Family (along with Earl Jeffers), Don has had a prolific career beat-maker for many years, releasing under a variety of monikers for labels such as Metalheadz, International Anthem, Fat City, Izwid, Earnest Endeavours and Group BraCil.

Five years have passed since the first ‘Shaboo’ album was released, a collection of beats and pieces that documented the road trip of Don’s youth - hip hop music interspersed with Asian radio station jingles of old, dedicated to Bollywood actor, Nasser ’Shaboo’Bharwani- Don Leisure’s late uncle. Gaining support from Tom Ravenscroft, Huey Morgan, Lefto (and many other selectors across the globe) it was heralded as “the best album of its kind since J Dilla’s ‘Donuts’” and deemed “unmissable” by the folks at Piccadilly Records.
