Massive funk soul brotha type shit...the Diesler LP "Tie Breakers" arrived in my inbox from the good kids at Jus Like Music this morning - what a tasty way to start the holiday. After neglecting many things - this blog for instance, and catching up on new beats - due to university constraints, it's just plain nice to have global riddims such like deeze turn up unexpectedly. Anyway, enough gush - give the album a whirl on Mr Diesaler's Soundcloud. And if that's not enough to get you excited, try a free 320 mp3 ...here. Right click, save as on the link named Diesler, Deepest Cut...
Jus Like Music said good things, as follows...
Tie Breakers encompasses elements of nu-jazz, funk, hip-hop and electronica. Imagine the wild offspring of the more recent Mr Scruff material and the infectious horn and rhythm stylings of Quantic - then you'd be getting closer. But, comparisons aside, the UK's Diesler (AKA: Jonathan Radford) has managed to strike a golden balance between amazing instrumentation and dancefloor rhythms. Incredibly well constructed tracks that would be just at home on your headphones as they would in a club.
Cheerfully tasty stuff. Anyway, 'ave a go at this one folks...
Exciting stuff - fruitbeat is well and truly still alive in Auckland shitty - rockin' many a morsel at the Ginger Minx for Slipper Sessions on a Wednesday, radio on Saturday, and, shockingly, even a gig from time to time. Who'da thunk?
I've been giving the first Warren G album a good going over - it's really something else. Nothing sounds like summer like a big stonking swelling synth to me. G funk captures my favourite nitty grittys in rap music, and I wish there were more like it!
What else have I to say? Probably more later when the stainage commences propa...
