Review: Following up their Urbane Rhapsoidia EP with an equally smooth set, the Neo Soul Acid Jazz Combo live up to their name once more with four salubrious instrumental sessions crying out for MCs and turntablists to get busy. Party lounge vibes abound throughout as ivories are tinkled, basses are slapped and beat lollop and roll with no drama or pressure. If you're in need of new home listening, warm up or bar vibes, you can't go wrong with this. Great pieces in their own right and great DJ tools. Like the name of the outfit themselves; you really can't argue with this.
Review: There's no confusion over what flavour vibes these guys are riding on; their meta data seeping from every word, Neo Soul Acid Jazz Collective are honed perfectly for these sexy SEO-tinged times. But let's dig deeper, what other tags could you attach to such a smooth, slinky four-track session? Effortlessly easy-going grooves, each cut is instrumental bliss, that's just waiting for the vocal delights of discerning MCs such as Ty or Q-Tip, or your very own collection of dope accapellas. There's more than a whiff of Roy Ayers at play here, too, with wandering synth licks, freak fretless bass runs and endless sunshine splashed across each track.
