Title: The Sound Of Rhythm & Culture
Genre: Down Tempo
Label: Rhythm & Culture Music / ESL Music / Fontana
Release Date: Sept. 7th, 2010DC based Rhythm & Culture Music recently released The Sounds of Rhythm Culture a 14 track compilation inspired by our culturally rich and musically diverse Nations capital. If you have ever visited Washington, DC you know exactly what I mean. The sights, sounds, food, people all represent what is unique and cool about the world we live in. Imagine the sounds of the islands infused with the middle east yea it's that cool!
The tracks have an air of sophistication while keeping it funky and would translate well in a club or mixer at your home. What I enjoy most is it takes you on a journey around the world without a passport, luggage or sunscreen.
According to the label, their goal was to harness sounds from around the world and challenge conceptions of what is considered dance music. Mission accomplished but I wouldn't expect anything less from the label's creator Farid Nouriad, Co founder Eighteenth Street Lounge and resident DJ and legendary DJ Thomas Blondet. Other artists on the mix include Second Sky, Nickodemous and Zeb all known for their distinct mix of sounds that run the musical and cultural landscape.
To listen, check out their website or iTunes and let me know your thoughts you won't be disappointed! There's also talk about a remix album so stay tuned. Check out one of my favorite tracks from the album, Havana 2am by Thomas Blondet.
