Three years after his successful Jazz&Milk EP, label founder Dusty returns with a release that once more proves his passion for an eclectic and diverse sound. Every single track delivers an organic vibe, from Funk, Jazz to Latin and Exotic influences.
While the opener "Keep It Raw" comes with a heavy and vintage jazz rhythm and a grooving brass section, "Tap Tap" makes use of similar aspects, but fuses them with progressive beats and percussion that turns the track into a modern jazz production. Check out "Loco Para La Pista", a Latin monster that causes pure dance floor madness and, not to forget, "Voodoo" with its exotic flavor and melodic bass clarinet lines on top.
This release presents a foretaste of Dusty's new and same titled CD album "Keep It Raw" with brilliant collage artwork and poster inlay by graphic designer Tim Schmitt.
Being absolute favourite of mine, ’Voodoo’ track indeed consists of some kind of magic – between handclapping and somewhat creeping beauty that crawls up your spine...It’s fantastic. And I like the other ones too – a scent of latino, a shade of palmtrees, a glance between two cockatil glasses that met on the dancefloor...All in all, it’s funky, it’s melodic, it’s seductive (and, which is a compliment, sometimes in an exotic, scary way), it’s gorgeous in tehnique and inventive in idea, still following the good ol’ paths of jazz and latin. This elegant eclecticity works out for me again and all I have to say is – keep up the good work!
