Product Description
San Franciscos Red Melon is pleased to announce the release of its first full-length album - a beautifully crafted collection produced by former paperecordings stars Harlem Zip Code. With a decidedly San Francisco vibe, Colour World Soul has an exceptional range of moods and grooves from the Rasta flava'd "Fling Up Your Wig" to the warm down tempo soul found in "Where Will You Go?". A diverse group of vocalists also appear on the album including Corrina Joseph of Basement Jaxx fame.
Harlem Zip Code consists of Tony Free and Merlin Garnett. The pair met in summer of 1996 and quickly established themselves as a song writing and production team. Their first single for Manchesters paperecordings label, "125th Street" was well received by all and even had a few people breaking sweat on the disco floor.
As well as appreciating the vagaries of house music, Tony & Merlin also like to experiment with all kinds of crazy beats, ideas and concepts as Colour World Soul shows, including tracks featuring Basement Jaxx voice Corrina Joseph, Beverly T. (of Supakings and Zed Bias fame), and David Holmes collaborator Chris Hawkins to name but a few.
