Solo Moderna - Boogalookalikes (socialcd05)
Dutch producer Bas Voorn (aka Solo Moderna) makes it all sound so easy. Listening to Boogalookalikes is like leaning back and letting it all happen. But don't be fooled by this cut-and-paste artist with a twist. Before you know it, you will be sucked into his ever expanding sound universe. The hypnotic and futuristic lo-fi nostalgia sounds on Boogalookalikes are fueled with contemporary jazz, tango & bossa influences, all of them branded with the typical Solo Moderna-style. A big warm sound that digs deep into the roots of afro, funk and break beat, complimented with a heavy dance floor shuffle. Infectious rhythmic patterns that are enhanced with sampled electronics & melodic acoustic strokes, supported by fierce jazz horns. His ability to paint a decor that shifts from moody psychedelic John Barry cocktail music to abstract shades of Balkan blues is rare & unique. Solo Moderna is raw talent with a passion, daring to be different. Boogalookalikes brings you a unique variety of musical & emotional expression and stands firm as an essential landmark in modern electronic music from the past & the future.
