For:Fans of neo-soul, nu-funk, drum'n'bass and live-oriented urban music

 The five tracks offered here are extremely effective, while experimenting with very different solutions from one another: it moves from the typically jazz intimacy of "Slow" to the black and catchy side of "Ride The Wave" complete with upbeat trumpets.

 Magnetic, danceable, the tracks follow each other without ever boring and leaving the impression of finding oneself dancing to old hits rather than unknown new tracks.

 The formula is the same. Attention to beats, but also killer grooves (listen to A New Dawn or The Plot, featuring one of the leading New York rappers of the moment, m1dedpreez, to believe it), elegant, jazzy sounds, or original and sophisticated arrangements like the string sections in Goosebump.
