Editorial Reviews

The term dust my broom's rooted in the blues music of Robert Johnson. In the figurative sense, among other, this term means to 'make a clean sweep' and as such indicates the beginning of something new it's an appropriate title far the second album by Boozoo Bajou, two Nuremberg based producers Peter Heider and Florian Seyberth who have joined the !K7 record family after years of collaboration with German independent label Stereo Deluxe. It's also an appropriate term for a group that takes a huge amount of inspiration from the diverse musical landscape of the deep-south Bayou culture form blues to country to soul. 2005.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like 'Satta' with words..., August 29, 2005

How do Europeans manage to absorb the musical idioms of the US and project them back at us so accurately, and in such an artfully distilled fashion? It's like Dr. John's "Gris-Gris" channeled through the very best of Martin Denny's lounge music, then launched into the future. Like movies, music can suffer from their special effects. Not the case here. Very, very cool stuff. "Take it Slow" is a great, great song; so is "Treat Me." For the moment, at least, this is the music of my life.

5.0 out of 5 stars DUSTIN' MY BROOM OFF!!!, October 4, 2005

Even though Boozoo Bajou's "Satta" is without a doubt a classic in its own right, their very impressive follow up "Dust My Broom" catapults this German duo into a whole nother hemisphere...after repeat listens one can't help but get the feelin' that he (or she) is in some steamy, bayou jook joint on a hot summer night! "Dust My Broom" is a combination of down home blues mixed with serious funk, dashed with sizzlin' reggae, soul and electronica to make it all STANK!!! "Satta" was excellent, but with the addition of vocals from Top Cat, Ben Weaver and the legendary Willie Hutch on "Dust My Broom", Boozoo Bajou has matured its sound and possibly reached an audience they didn't reach the first go round. If my mama can dig these guys, anybody can!!! Highly recommended!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Pure driving "atmosphere"..., February 24, 2007

Boozoo Bajou aren't your normal, run of the mill electronica/dance outfit... they're somewhere else. Quite where can be difficult to fathom out at times but don't let that put you off because "Dust My Broom" like "Boozoo Bajou Remixes" is a clever and hugely addictive album. Soaked in driving beats, wonderful reggae & dub overlays and some ridiculously atmospheric, heavily reverbed guitar riffs, it's like Kruder & Dorfmeister meet Dr John and King Tubby with a bit of Luther Vandross thrown in for good measure. Sounds odd... well it is - check out "Keep Going", "Blast", "Killer", "Take it Slow" & "Treat Me" to see what you're in for - but then that's what makes it so good.
