It’s all started with a cheap drum machine at the beginning of the 2000.The drobs choose sounds from musical libraries and experimenting with them. Italian and French music from the 60’s, early 70’s soul,traditional rhythms from Nigeria and Ethiopia and Brazilian bossa nova….He take the samples and then he adds beats and keys.
George Karanikolas (the last drive, blml) produced the record, adds some guitars and vocals and the result is 14 low budget high fidelity tracks.
The sound of the record is between funk, ambient, soul, electronic and hip-hop. It’s like captain Beefheart meets Madlib and Sun-ra.
