    Les Gammas sky larkin` 2.2002

    ladies + gentleman,

    we´re back. winter break is over and so the Gammas decided to return after a relaxing 5 week retreat in the snowy mountains to the world.

    Compost on a role , you got the outstanding Koop LP, so watch out for more awesome albums out of Munich/ Berlin this year: Jazzanova & Joseph Malik albums are arround on promo CD and even The Trüby Trio is in the studio!

    Music is our sanctuary, music is our life, be prepared for OUR 2nd album by the end of the year ,too.

    Next is a new LES GAMMAS 12" called "outra vida" (featured on the Compost 100 compilation) with excellent new d+b flavoured mixes by our mates Eddy+Dus (Kontrapunkt,Zagreb) and by DJ Patife , Sao Paolo. Sambassim! mixes finally have arrived, so expect the release on Compost Records in the next weeks.

    here it is: the Jazz Floor anthem of the season! Lina Caroll on vox with some shuffling bossa beats , let the good times roll! Japanes only and around there for a while, big thnx to Junja for the hook up.

    3. JAZZANOVA: in between (JCR CD)

    my fave tune from the forthcomin album: a deep soulful late nite affair with that magic touch that gives you goosepimples !

    10. CLEVELAND WATKISS: torch of freedom ( DJ Patife & Cosmonautics rmx) (slate)

    more drum+ bass pressure via Brasil. beautiful balearic vocal jazz d+b that reminds me a bit of the best moments of......the Special AKA.

    11. GOTAN PROJECT: tryptico (Peter Kruder mix) ( ya basta)
