Comment: if there is playing an
issue from the roster of Bulgarian imprint Dusted Wax Kingdom one can
be absolutely sure it is something for his/her soul. Dusted Wax
Kingdom is an imprint for refined sample-based music being built on
inspiration from (nu) jazz, soul, funk, chill out and plunderphonics
which on occasion results in cinematic glimpses. Let`s call it just
urban music though depending on an album it could be mixed up
differently of course. And all of that used to inspire the listener
either. At least I feel myself inspired every time I am listening to
it. Frenklah`s 11-track issue which clocks in at a 22-minute only is
the case without any doubt. It is an in-between case of enchanting
iterations in rhythms and suggestive harmonies of psychedelic music
which at times is coated with wondrous, filmic vamps (
Shinkansen,
for instance). At
No Dress
there is up an indicative hint at the title of the album (by
exploiting Japanese-based samples) though
musically it does have a little common with the Japanese culture.
By listening to the first
issue
Godzilla Intro
it is an example of pure funk rock, and its is followed by
The
Theme which is also funk though
relying more on cut-and-paste technique and more laid-back and
afrofunk
combined elements.
In a nutshell, the result is
stunning.
