Old Shady Grady & The Neighborhood Character – The Wildnerness Sessions Part 2

The second installment of Uzuri’s “The Wilderness Sessions” delivers 3 tracks geared towards the refined dancers and listeners of the world. The idea here is slow burning broken beat tracks infused with the soul of jazz and funk. The EP opens with Fox ‘N Hound, a slightly menacing and equally sexy jam which ebbs and flows with a delightfully funky bass line and enough melodic accents to keep full attention.

The secret here is in the details which are craft-fully manipulated by this talented duo. Futonjam continues the trend of beautifully unfolding composition with its shuffled percussion and gracefully evolving melodies. A perfect track for home listening and for those deep sultry moments on the dance floor. The crown jewel of this release is certainly the near 9 minute odyssey that is Zukunft/ Silber.

A track which entertains and pushes towards a sophisticated style which is undeniably unique in approach. Using broken patterns as a back drop for beautifully orchestrated strings, micro flutes and longing horns it transforms from a sweet and delicate sound to something more demanding of our bodies movement. This release will be sure to mark the beginning of what we can expect from these two producers who clearly aim to set themselves apart from the crowd.
