an ecletic musical representation of infamous rotterdam jazzclub bird with well-known and lesser-known dutch artists from the black music spectrum, varying from jazz, soul, hip-hop to electronic music. compiled by bird musical curators philip powel and guido van dieren.
dutch disco dons kraak&smaak make their debut on razor-n-tape with a pair of boogie originals pressed to wax for the first time ever, featuring two remix gems from ben sun and tiger & woods! the soulful vibes run deep on way back home, with ben sun and t&w taking us to frankie and shepp town, respectively, on their mixes. and with its synthy uptempo disco stomp, seb s party rounds out this wonderfully varied 4-tracker perfectly.
juicy fruit is as succulent as the name suggests - a feast of flavour served up by dutch masters kraak & smaak. their fifth studio album is one that sees them sonically revisiting the roots of their first releases, producing an organic and warm electronic disco and funk album packed with hot property collaborators including mayer hawthorne, eric biddines of golden rules, parcels, gallowstreet and cleopold to name a few. effortlessly flitting between outright dancefloor boogie and meditative mellow moments it s a record that captivates the listener from start to finish, blending the timeless appeal of disco and electro with the best in indie dance and electronica.
the album works its way through the band and fan favourites and showcases some of the incredible guests they ve worked with over the years – from lee fields to parcels, romanthony to mayer hawthorne, ben westbeech to durand jones. a wicked listen from start to finish, twenty is a collection that does not disappoint...
compiled and mixed by milk&sugar. 2xcd, 28 tracks, 2dj mixes! including claptone, mousse t, monolink, purple disco machine, maya jane coles, david penn, roger sanchez
