You are about to enter a space where hardly any clubber has danced before… Feel well-absorbed into James Dean Brown's most extraordinary, emphatic and convincing DJ work so far.
As soon as he is supposed to feel reasonably safe in terms of a conclusive music selection and respectable mixing skills, JDB starts (and keeps on) experimenting, merging and warping styles, leaving the comfort zone. Consequently, you will experience weirdness of epic dimensions here while listening to a story that pleads for a great diversity of sound cultures at parties. Surrounded by nature, outdoors vibes and the heavy, monsoon-like rain must have been a great inspiration. Otherwise one could hardly explain how JDB managed to mix some of these hazardous grooves in such a relaxed way.
The trip becomes an audio drama: psychedelic Soul, Funk and Blues full of exotic magic and mystery, intoxicating Voodoo House, decelerated grooves, flexible shuffle modes, alien sound signatures, tripping hazards, spiritual vibes, enchanting incantations, ghost whispers, tribal percussion reverberating from the electrically vibrating rain forest, echoes from space, strange and unusual music not quite from this world, fluid fairytales, passion, temptation, ritual ecstasy, obscuration and revelation, and other oddities – it's all in here. Welcome to a subtle dislocation off the norm.
Mixed + recorded live under heavy rain at "Contour", ://about blank garden, Berlin, 29.07.12 between 5.00 and 8.00 a.m.
