It was only a matter of time before I dedicated an entire show to the Tru Thoughts label. So much of their discography got love from BSOTS last year that it was inevitable. The fact that the imprint celebrates its 15th Anniversary this year was all the excuse I needed to finally play some Tru Thoughts tunes that Camp Lo-Fi hasn't gotten around to yet. Beyond that, their releases for 2014 alone warrant some serious attention. If you're not familiar with Tru Thoughts, consider this episode your inroad to one of the best independent labels on earth.
FYI: Tru Thoughts recently announced a 15th Anniversary box set releasing in late October of this year. It sounds like this thing is going to be jam-packed full of goodness, so diehard fans of the label need to seriously consider copping one for themselves. Check the promotional video below for a teaser and visit truthoughts15.com for more details.
