Dego

Dego – ‘Love Was Never Your Goal’ (2000BLACK) is broken‑beat soul at its most sumptuous: deep chord science, nimble basslines and pocket‑perfect drums under vocal performances by Samii. Joined by longtime collaborators Kaidi Tatham, Matt Lord and Mr Mensah, Dego folds jazz harmony into boogie kinetics, moving from astral steppers to rubber‑funk workouts and glistening uplift. As an LP, it flows like a proper journey—tight edits, lush strings and head‑nod swing—showcasing the school of London that rewired R&B, house and jazz into one language. Cut to vinyl with real body, it’s a modern 2000BLACK essential.
