Limitiertes blaues Vinyl! Über vier Alben hinweg hat sich Pachyman als
meisterhafter Handwerker des Dub-Reggae bewiesen. Inspiriert von
Legenden wie King Tubby und Scientist, nutzt er Vintage-Equipment,
erschafft monumentale Klangwelten und versteht intuitiv die hypnotische
Kraft der Wiederholung. Mit 'Another Place' geht er einen Schritt
weiter: Er verbindet Dub mit den vielfältigen Einflüssen moderner Musik -
von der Synth-Pop-Ästhetik eines William Onyeabor und Yellow Magic
Orchestra bis hin zu den tiefen, atmosphärischen Klängen von Basic
Channel’s Dub-Techno. Ein Album, das Tradition ehrt und zugleich neue
Klangräume erschließt.
Die neue LP des britischen Multitalents James Alexander Bright ist ein
dynamisches Set aus drängenden Funkern, sanften Soul-Balladen,
Kopfnickern, Fuzzy-Folk-Songs und geradlinigen Disco-Krachern. Dabei
übernimmt James' Stimme, die irgendwo zwischen Eddie Chacon, Beck und
Michael McDonald liegt, selbstbewusst den Lead. Nach Kollabos mit Flying
Mojito Bros und Tom Findlay (Groove Armada) bietet der Release auf dem
schottischen Trendsetter Athens Of The North eine sich entwickelnde
Vision, die sich von Outsider-Art-Rock über Machine Funk und Mystic Folk
bis zu experimentellem Jazz bewegt.
Charlie Hunter's 1995er Blue Note-Debüt „Bing Bing Bing!“ war eine
groovende Tour-de-Force, die Ankunft eines virtuosen Gitarristen, der
auf seiner 8-saitigen Gitarre eine Musik hervorbrachte, die
beeindruckend und unbändig war. Hunters Trio legte hier ein Programm mit
Eigenkompositionen und einem unvergesslichen Cover von Nirvanas „Come
As You Are“ vor.
Primed
for a massive summer, multi-award-winning Billboard chart-topper Sean
Paul heats up 2022 with Scorcha, his 8th full-length album and Island
Records debut. The album is a collaborative celebration of his Jamaican
heritage and dancehall roots in which Sean trades the mic with Buju
Banton and Damian Marley. Dancehall can be stereotyped as a competitive,
macho space where sound clashes are king, but 2021’s Live N Livin set
out to emphasize what’s possible when unity is the goal.
