Fila Brazillia is the name of the decidedly singular collaboration between Steve Cobby and David McSherry, born in the coastal town of Hull in the UK

Bending--and often outright breaking--more or less every rule in the book, they've been effortlessly blending deep house, downtempo, breaks, ambient, and wry humour, sampling anything they can get their hands on. Their frst outing was the 1990single-sided white label 12" Mermaids, an airy deep house tune featuring a cheeky sample taken from the theme from Robison Crusoe. Since then, they've released a boat load of singles, seven highly regarded full- lengths, and more than 60 remixes for artists such as Radiohead, Busta Rhymes, and Lamb. 

Black Market Gardening is their third full-length and marks a creative high-point for the duo. Over nine tracks, the guys guide you through hazy, bass-heavy trip hop, cosmic synth lines, brisk breakbeats, funky guitar riffs, and even touch of drum 'n bass (it's the mid-1990s after all...). There's just so much to take in, leaving the listener wondering where the samples end and the live instrumentation begins. Yes, Fila Brazillia's output fts squarely within the chill-out tradition prevalent in the UK at that point in time, but their unmatched creativity and boundless approach to the studio process makes their music truly timeless. 

Black Market Gardening is available as a 30th anniversary edition of 250 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl for the frst time since 2001.
