4.0 out of 5 stars Spirited mix of Afro and Latin inflected grooves, April 25, 2002

This review is from: Organic Audio Presents: Hi-Life (Audio CD)

Now here's a primer for a patio party. Andy Spence aka Organic Audio truly has his finger on the pulse of world dance floors, whipping together twelve cuts of Afro and Latin influenced grooves. Try DJ Gregory's mix of looped horn blasts, triangle, and cowbell on the opening piece, or the steel drum euphoria of Tugg (Nathan Curran of Faze Action) to see what I mean. Or Tosca's "Honey" reinterpreted into a vibrant thump-along from Spence himself, who also contributes the oh-so-clever "Unspinached Symphony." Nods go to the Idjut Boys as well, for their dubbed up bass ballad "Whokitsh".

Nope, there's no Africa-ca-ca chanting or other fodder here, just solid, inspired rhythms tied to a modern house aesthetic. And if Soul Ascendants' step into wah-wah space funk ("Pachacuti") is a stretch too far, no matter. As Noiseshaper says, "Music is the only redeemer." Why not inject some spirit into your summer with this?

For fans of: Mr. Scruff, Idjut Boys, summer
