17.01.2004 - SUBURB
A soundlab for the coolest new music makers from the globe’s party places, with the emphasis on LIVE house sounds... bringing a taste of Saturday night clubbing from around the globe. From Paris to Lisbon to London we present the very best of the planet’s coolest party people. Musically edging into house music for lovers... twisted soul... something a little jazzy.
Featuring a special live performance by...
COLORBLIND is a project of DJ Spider and Tokyo DJ Jun Matsuoka. They both are responsible for those groovy nights at La Marquise - Lyon (F) - , host of internationally acclaimed DJs like Ross Allen, Jazzanova, Amon Tobin, Mr Scruff, Rainer Trüby, Freddy Fresh or Zero dB. Spider and Jun are largely influenced by Afro-American music in its widest sense, and their open-minded DJ sets - a cross-over of latin jazz, two-step, soul or deep house - reflect the way they compose.On this first album, they are joined by musicians with jazz and latin background. Sir Jean (Meï Teï Sho) and Mr Day (Rotax, Glasgow Underground) also joined on vocals. COLORBLIND’s compositions are destined to be played live, allowing spaces for musicians to improvise. Unlike most of today's so-called live acts, COLORBLIND really achieves to deliver a flesh-and-bone performance.
"Nu-swing !" is an alternate version of "Swing it up !" which was Colorblind's first outprint and met with a warm response from DJs worldwide. Its powerful beats mixed with true jazziness perfume makes it a sure floor-filler. The latin orientated "Novo dia" is a deeper shaking bossa combining future funk synths with sweet Brazilian vocals. The 2-steppin’ “Wonderbass”, funny mambo of “Whachacha”, loungin’ “B.Erotica” or the soulful “Superzoom” are good examples of the wide spectrum of moods and grooves of their repertoire.
