Quantic - DJ-Kicks: Quantic - VINYL LP

Scruscru and Los Protos hook up on the former's ever-reliable tag for some more funk-fuelled and sample-heavy madness. This eight-tracker draws on the best of Library, jazz, hip hop and soul and collides elements of all of those together with some raw, and what sounds like, MPC beats, all tapped out with a lovably loose vibe. Some like 'Local Sugar Diggers' look up towards a sunny, cloudless sky, others like 'Dreams Of Sonora' are swaggering broken beat workouts with sensuous sax lines setting a steamy tone. 'Por Do Sol Em Shelekhmet' is another highlight with it's aloof, angelic vocal tones.Tracklisting A1. Local Sugar Diggers (3 18)A2. Smoke on the Volga (4 20)A3. Pfonkie Pfonk (4 13)A4.

Vinyl LP pressing. Includes . Will Holland's second album under the Quantic name, originally released in 2002.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2025 . Eor, the second album from Breton musician and songwriter QUINQUIS [pronounced CAN-KEES] (aka Émilie Quinquis). The album - which means InchanchorInch in Breton - takes inspiration from time Émilie spent at sea, leaving her island to go sailing from Brittany to the Faroe Islands, via Ireland and the Scottish Islands. More specifically, it was inspired by the foggy movements she witnessed, far out to sea, that resembled mermaids. While thinking about sailors over the centuries who had also seen what she had seen, she began to imagine how these powerful sirens might appear in contemporary life. Over eight tracks, she weaves stories about mermaids that would like to be sailors, mermaids have fallen in love with mermaids, and mermaids that were cursed for wanting to love like humans, all the time celebrating the enchantment, the power and the mystery of these fantastical creatures, and the role they play, especially in communities with direct links to the sea. Written, produced and performed by Émilie Quinquis and the celebrated producer Gareth Jones. Album Tracks 1. Inkanuko 2. Tumbling Point 3. Blaz An Holen 4. Distro 5. Dec'h 6. Morwreg 7. Peñseidi 8.
