Domu

So, more stuff from tru-thoughts, this time the legendary Domu who has signed to the label for this and potentially another album. This album being another "One offs, remixes and B-Sides" so got a few tracks thrown my way and they are just as quality as you would expect. Domu's always being a maestro remixer, so it's no surprise really. It includes the awesome remix of Spanky Wilson & The Quantic Soul Orchestra, which was featured on a recent Shapes Compilation, got a wicked bass line, lovely keys and of course Spanky's spanking vocals (hello). A couple of other superb tracks as well, so yeah looking forward to the album.
Anyway I'm gonna be super busy with Uni exams over the course of the next few weeks, although I'm making time to see the Tru-Thoughts 10 years gig for the Brighton Fringe on Sunday, so I'll try and let you know how that goes. Peace out. Oh and here is an example of Domu's remixing skills at work, check it.

The Return of Quantic

Got some more music from Tru-Thoughts the other day, taken from two albums I am very excited about. First off a couple of tracks from Lizzy Parks forthcoming acoustic album. I've been excited about this album since I saw that acoustic video of "Raise the Roof", which I love. So the tracks sound really good, there really stripped bare which I love, takes music back to it's essential parts, great harmonies, rhythmic instruments, and top notch vocals, not to mention some Jazz Flute.

Next up my favorite, Quantic returns, this time equiped with his Colombian band, the Combo Barbaro. This stuff is shit hot, it's pretty much what you'd get if you can imagine mixing Quantic and the Buena Vista Social Club. Super Funky, love that slightly discordant piano and superb drumming, definitely gonna check out the live show @ the Roundhouse later this year.

Anyway here is Lizzy Park's acoustic version of her track "Raise The Roof" I had to put it on again. She sang it with a cold don't you know.
