Fresh from his Joy In Variation LP on his own Mythstery label, London’s Mr. Beatnick lays down a sumptuous slice of cosmic downtempo boogie driven by warm drops of bass, luxuriant pad sweeps, even making space for a cheeky loom bird in between the sci-fi funk reverie.
The track is taken from our forthcoming Medusozoa Vol III compilation dropping in Decemeber - an excursion into ambient and downtempo moods, celebrating the fine art of lazy home listening.
No country connects the various strands of 20th century Afro-diasporic music & its 21st century derivatives like the UK, especially the veteran selectors with shelves of decade spanning vinyl. So take a trip with one of the UK's deepest collectors & finest DJs, the irrepressible Luke Una as he joins all sorts of dots, sharing hard won musical treasure to the mapless, making the old new & the new make sense - this is a frankly staggering selection of music TheSlowMusicMovement
I had never heard of Luke Una until 2022, when this fantastic compilation appeared on Mr Bongo.
The more you listen to it, the more you realize the exceptional quality of the work behind it... Ordinary Joe
