(CD/Digital) Social Beats/Unique UNIQ175, 2010-06-04

With his 4th album Mr. Diesler, a truly unique musician and individual, has knocked out yet another killer LP that provides a 360 degree genre agenda - an overview of the 2010 nu-jazz scene encompassing hip-hop, funk, soul, house, broken beat, afro beat and electronica - The In Sound From Way Out!

As a first proper 7inch single Unique will release Reggae Magic - a stunning roots-reggae vocal version and DUB on the flipside derived from the original album track entitled 'Samba Magic' that was reworked and produced by french reggae aces Grant Phabao.

The Dutch Nu Jazz Movement Whats Nu
Social Beats presents The Dutch Nu Jazz Movement - What's Nu?
(CD/download) Social Beats/Unique Records, 2010-03-26

Early 2006 two leading Dutch representatives, Monsieur Dubois and State Of Monc, initiated a new platform to establish, enpower and expand the scene they are both part of: Nu-Jazz. In the process, two other groups joined in: Flowriders and Jazzinvaders. Nu-Jazz is a style of music that crosses many borders and takes away boundaries; from jazz to jungle, trip-hop to house, dub to disco and broken beat to soul. While respecting traditions and building upon them, nu-jazz creates a new format for improvisation, beats, grooves and ensemble. By founding The Dutch Nu Jazz Movement the bands involved like to acknowledge this growing development in jazzmusic, point out its relevance and create an organization that brings Dutch Nu Jazz to a larger public in- and outside The Netherlands. This is done by organizing events, supporting releases and promoting the DNJM bands...

Really one of the best deep funk albums I've heard recently! And I love Laura Vane's voice... Listen to the Laura Vane mix I've cooked to check by yourself. PS She's not the same Laura as the one we're molesting monthly ;-) (Djouls)

Drawn together from both sides of the North Sea, Laura Vane & The Vipertones consists of musicians from various Dutch & UK projects pooling their respective skills for this funk & soul group. From Holland, and more precisely Dordrecht in the south east of the country, Phil Martin & Ton Van Der Kolk - also known as producers duo AIFF - provide their instrumental talents developing the grooves and beats fired over the internet from the northern UK town of Burnley by Jonathan 'Diesler' Radford. Finally, and having cut it amongst the big boys working with The Streets, Gnarls Barkley & MJ Cole amongst others, Laura Vane, hailing from Brighton on the south coast of the UK, provides the sweet vocals and imaginative lyrics to the project.
