VuVuVu and Alice Libertas - "Beste"

Mediterranean Funk and Turkish Psychedelia collide in this new collaborative single.

LISTEN

Our beloved in-house library-music magician, Ge-Sol, blesses us with a new excursion into cinematic groove: “Skyline Bonanza” b/w the equally intriguing back alley porno funk of “Pot Roast”

The L.B.'S - "Of August Countenance".
"..Sounds like a joint by Ethio-jazz luminary Mulatu Astatke produced by pioneering '60s producer Joe Meek. The slinky rhythm, woozy horns, Jacques Willis's spine-tingling vibraphone motif, and Tomer Zuk's serpentine organ solo cohere into a graceful journey to enchantment. Flipside "Gazing Lovingly" is suffused in a sublime nocturnal glow reminiscent of Faze-O's "Riding High" while strutting in slow-motion to a funky drummer (Polyrhythmics' Grant Schroff) who has ice in his veins."
