organic, soulful, funky, global & groovy rhythms
Ubiquity's first volume compiling a bunch of the best acid jazz stuff to come out of the early 90's – but which had only been floating around on expensive import singles. Cuts include "Honeydipped" by Marden Hill, "High Noon" by Kruder & Dorfmeister, "Sweat" by Paolo Achenza Trio, "World Keeps Fallin" by Cunnie Williams, and "Say Yeah" by Izit. Lots more, and in a nice package.
BACK IN THE DOGHOUSE (BUGZ IN THE ATTIC)
A pulsing, bouncy set of electro funk and dancefloor future soul from Bugz In The Attic – the first-ever official LP from the sprawling DJs/producers/mix master collective! The Bugz have been tearing up the remix scene for years with their unique blend of soul, funk and electro-learned beats, and Doghouse is a really strong outlet for a less experimental, more party oriented vibe. It's packed with thumping computer funk, ceaselessly riveting grooves, and a truly coherent overall sound! We're having a tough time pinning it down with words, but a much easier time leaving it on the turntable all day long! It's a great headphones listen, too – much, much more than a string of club tracks. A wonderful surprise!
ORIGINAL SOUND OF CUMBIA COMPILED BY QUANTIC (SOUNDWAY/ QUANTIC)
Soundway Records delves deep into the great history Colombian cumbia and porro – beautifully putting together an expansive set that traces the evolution of the sounds throughout 3 decades – and keeping it coming feverishly and furiously well paced the whole way through! They do a terrific job of making this set reverent of the history – it was very well researched by Will "Quantic" Holland – with one half featuring earlier Columbian cumbia and one half of the evolving sounds and instrumentation that came into play over the years. The sound is beautiful, even on the earliest recordings, and it's heated, intensely rhythmic all the way. Holland and Soundway's Miles Cleret here deliver as exciting and informative a set of benchmark cumbia as we could have hoped for – and it includes nice set of notes and photos.
LIGHT OF THE SUN (JILL SCOTT)
Jill Scott returns with Light Of The Sun – once again lighting up modern R&B like only she can! It's a solid return to form for Jill – delivering distinctively soulful, emotional gems with toned down, natural grooves along with funky hip soul backed tracks and righteous diva groovers – and it'll sound great for years to come. We wish she'd record more often, but we're pleased enough that each album she's delivered to date has been truly excellent! Guests includ Anthony Hamilton, Doug E Fresh, Eve & The A Group
