DJ Center - Everything In Time
(CD/2xLP/Digital) Push The Fader, 2010-02-09 (CD) / Fatbeats, 2011-05-04 (2xLP)
I had featured New York city's DJ Center in a review from his former band Open Thought, way back in 2003... Well, a few years later, DJ Center has finally unleashed his debut album, Everything In Time, a global soul record bringing back a low-end theory and warmth that's been absent in music as of late. Featuring an incredible cast of guests including Oddisee, Zaki Ibrahim, Gretchen Parlato, Middle Child, Renee Neufville (of Zhané) and Samia Farah, amongst others, Everything In Time is overflowing with lush piano chords, warm bass lines, boom-bap drum patterns, flying tambourines, and soaring horns. Special mentions for the single In A Song, catchy like a Coke slogan, and for the closing track, Center's Groove, a marvelous brazilian/hip hop sunshine cocktail of laidback grooves. Check his exclusive mix for Paris DJs here.
