Innovative blend of latin, dubstep, broken beat sounds - From the opening atmospheric <b>'LLuvia'</b> via the frantic yet latin broken beat of <b>'La Gallina'</b> through to the dubstep leanings of <b>'Ship of Monsters'</b>, <b>Phuture Motion</b> create a diverse and coherent soundscape. <b>'The Thief'</b>, weighing in at 18 tracks, pinches an influence from here, takes a bit from there and brings it all together for something different.

Long time musical collaborators <b>Danny Mager, Levi Bussue and Chris Welch</b> met and worked together as DJ's and promoters at the highly respected and long running club night <b>'Phon-etics'</b>, they have made a name for themselves as resident and guest DJs at a variety of nights over a number of years using these sets and their radio show to push their love of of a wide range of upfront music ranging from the nastiest, bassiest grumble to the most beautiful, soulful singsong.

The album features a new, toughened up vocal version of the first single, latin drum n bass bomba <b>'Carne Negra'</b> which first appeared in 2008 receiving support from the likes of <b>Gilles Peterson</b> and <b>Freddie Cruger</b> amongst others. The new version features two of the UK's finest latin MCs <b>Magico & Flowrian</b> (who also raise the temperature on the digi-reggaetonish cut <b>'Electricidad')</b>.

Elsewhere, erstwhile musical raconteur <b>Earl Zinger (2 Banks of 4/Galliano etc)</b> delivers a haunting lament over a dnb backdrop to the cursed inmates of the <b>'Freakshow'</b>, Brooklyn latin hip hop b-girl and actress <b>La Bruja</b> drops some Spanglish advice on <b>'Tu No Sabes Nada' </b> as reggaeton meets more familiar UK sounds. Stepping up from Colombia's highly acclaimed <b>Bomba Estereo</b> is <b>Li Saumet</b>, whose distinctive voice graces the big band sounding cut of <b>'Dimelo Ya'</b>. Meanwhile <b>Rubi Dan</b> get all ragga over the baile funk bigness of <b>'Shape n Size'</b>.

<b>Phuture Motion</b> take a healthy dose of latin influence around the corner; ruff it up, shake it down and send it off in a new direction!
