Comment: it is a fabulous contemporary jazz-based roundabout. More profoundly, jazz music meets electronic beats and soulful singing or at least samples of speech snippets over the place. Indeed, if to trying to differentiate it from acid and nu jazz compositions then one could perceive more sample-based aesthetic and slowly, even lazily meandering rhythms on the nexus. These cadences are also sprinkled with lo-fi aesthetic and subtle concrete music samples. Indeed, the latter is an important thing because of being the counterpoint to crafty, mind-blowing harmony progressions. Pardon is the favourite of mine with slightly ominous synth progressions and threateningly stomping rhythms below it. The issue is a part of the discography of the Bulgaria-based imprint Dusted Wax Kingdom. The artist comes out of Almaty, Kazakhstan. Regarding the country I guess Sasha Baron Cohen should listen to it. I am afraid of he is obviously way too dull because of being immersed in his predispositions to be able to understand something like that or it might disturb his embarrasing picture of the world. His attitude in his motion pictures and the tolerance of it by Western people is a case of hypocrisy on its own.
