Diesler - Keepie Uppies - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Diesler picked up a huge number of fans, including Gilles Peterson and Mr Scruff, with his debut album 'Diggin It Somethin' Rotten' released last year. This lead to a variety of remixes for labels such as Raw Fusion, Afro Art, Freestyle and Ninja Tune, and increased DJ bookings across the world. As a prolific young producer he has not slacked off, he has put his head down to quickly follow up with his second album. The new record finds him collaborating with more musicians, with an emphasis on writing and producing a few more songs as well as quality dancefloor rockers. And, as you'd hope for from a Tru Thoughts artist, there is a real fusion of music going on here Brazilian, Cuban, funk, Latin, soul and jazz, all fused together with a 21st Century sound. The album also features collaborations with vocalists including Joseph Malik (Compost) and Southampton's Laura Vane, who is currently recording with MJ Cole. Pinnuk.2006.
