VA: pt. 17 - Cup of Tea at the Coffee Table

Here's one from Cup of Tea Records. I shared a bit of Cup of Tea releases during Trip-hop February a few years back. The label was an off-shoot of the club of the same name in Bristol. Cup of Tea Records  released quality tracks of slo-mo beat excursions & weirdelic sound collages between 1994 to 1999. The label, founded by Pip Diaz, started with the release of The Mud Skipper EP by a band called Junkwaffel, remixed by Bristol royalty Portishead. This one is subtitled "Sounds & Soundtracks mixed by Grantby", Grantby being the nom-de-mix of Dan Grigson, who worked at Cup of Tea

    1. This one's a really mixed bag, as VA comps should be, I feel. Thanks, brother.
