FIVE PEOPLE (LIVING/DEAD)
THAT RESOUND WOULD LOVE TO
COLLABORATE WITH:
1. Sade
“She has such a deep voice it’s just mesmerising.
She would fit right in on pretty much any track
on the CD version of my album which is all about
that deepness.”
2. King Tubby
“Without his groundbreaking work there would
be so much missing in the music we love. I
would give him a dirty minimal banger to dub out
or maybe go for a dubstep track.”
3. Vangelis

Date’ on my album. It’s hard to believe, when
listening to his music, that the man is completely
self-taught and doesn’t know how to read or
write notations. Just goes to show, there is no
need to play by the book in music. Many times,
breaking the rules will lead to better results and
determination is what counts.”
4. ODB
“I didn’t really get into hip hop properly until
I heard the Wu Tang stuff. And Ol’ Dirty was
always my favourite of the bunch with his unique
style. Mad guy. Mad talent.”
