Adrian Younge's Dark Soul
Tuesday 31 January 2012, 14:55 2
Adrian Younge is a man of his word. Last November we did an exclusive interview with Adrian when he released his stunning new album Something About April performed by Venice Dawn (Wax Poetics), in which he promised to build us an exclusive mix. So here is the thing, a short yet solid all-vinyl, mash-up style, romantic soul and cinematic mix....

Adrian Younge presents - Something About April - performed by Venice Dawn
(CD/LP/Digital) Wax Poetics Records, 2011-11-29
A few years ago multi-instrumentalist Adrian Younge composed an original score for the Blaxploitation tribute and parody Black Dynamite - one of the most hilarious movies of the past decade. And now he's back with a new cinematic project under the mysterious name of Venice Dawn, a killer concept album called Something about April. This is the soundtrack for a fictional film that hasn't been directed yet, in the fashion of the late 60s scores. Playing most of the instruments as he's done on his previous album (plus a very special keyboard of his own called the Selene), Younge is helped this time by Motown legend Dennis Coffey on guitar, funkateer Shawn Lee, italian OST specialists Calibro 35 and young soul singer Rebecca Jordan. Imagine Ennio Morricone meets Al Green meets Portishead and you will get a pretty precise idea of the highly romantic, heavy-soul and psychedelic flavours of the Venice Dawn project.

Adrian Younge
(Interview by Nicolas Ragonneau for Paris DJs - november 2011)
Black Dynamite composer and multi-instrumentalist Adrian Younge gives us an exclusive interview while he releases his new project 'Something About April' performed by Venice Dawn (Wax Poetics Records). On this record one can listen to sheer never-heard-before sounds. Why? The answer is the Selene, a very special lo-fidelity weapon and new keyboard Adrian has invented with friends, and he's got the only copy worldwide.
