Groovy, dub, soul, electronic. Carboot soul builds a bridge between everything that makes today's music.
Groovy rhythms are fine and powerful, while bass is pumped up and unavoidable. This ain't no Big Beat, far from that. We are talking about Nightmares on wax, one of the jewels of the tremendous English label Warp.
Down tempo and sensitive, Nightmares on wax's music is highly emotional and faithful to the label's style We could almost talk about « Electronic Blues » since the emotions conveyed by the sum of the tracks are complementary and, however, contradictary.
Conveyed emotions: they are the key of their music.
The lucky ones who attended their live show (Paris – Le Divan du Monde – June 99) will tell you : there is someting going on and everybody reacts to it in his/her own way. One is touched at the body as well as the heart.
At a thousand miles from calibered dancefloor music, Carboot soul is an intimist and generous album that will gather fans of good groove, dub lovers, sound addicts as well as melody maniacs.
