The
new Danish modern sound belongs to Owusu and Hannibal of Copenhagen.
“Delirium” has already been getting serious nods on
CD-r, wait ‘til you hear what else is in the bag. They’ve
got cosmic freak-outs, street smarts, electronic pop, and crossover
ballistics packed into each next level track. Think Moody Man
meets Steely Dan meets Scritti Polliti meets Dilla meets Jorge
Ben meets Spacek and you’re getting kinda’ close.
“Delirium” is a dj-friendly soul cut that has already
been played by the likes of Gilles Peterson and has been licensed
by Compost - but it’s such a heavy track it needed a full
12” release. Also included here is an exclusive fantastic
boogie-tune re-work from NYCs own Morgan Geist (Metro Area, Environ,
etc). This is soul for hip hop fans, hip hop for Detroit fiends,
or even down-tempo house for those who like it freaky and 4/4
but not all-out four on the floor. In addition fellow Scandinavians
Up Hygh, who have been turning heads on Swedens super fly Raw
Fusion label, kick out a peak time hip hop style mix.
On the flip is a brand new, exclusive, never been-heard-before
track called “What’s It About”. Again the vibe
is heavyweight, chunky and DJ friendly futuristic soul.
With Ghanian, Danish, German and American heritage the pair are
set to take 2006 by storm with an amazing album of unique soul
productions. The most forward thinking beats we’ve heard
in a long time power along some amazing musicianship and fantastic
songs. The end product sounds amazing on either iPod or in the
club
