Manchester based producer and DJ Contours delivers a special remix of DJ Rou & Lite Orkestra‘s forthcoming EP Ambassador’s Way on the mighty Cognitiva Records. Contours has been making waves over the last few years exploring the spaces, rhythms and textures that sit between House, Jazz, Afro-Beat, Electronica and Hip Hop and the NTS and Reform Radio host has conjured an effortlessly funky house track for the EP’s B-side.
DJ Rou & Lite Orkestra proves to be one of those original, eclectic and interesting projects for the musical research of the current scene. They got to know each other in the summer of 2014 and a character affinity was born immediately, later transformed into a very strong artistic empathy, so much so that in the immediate future they decided to meet often between Bologna and Verona for jam sessions, sharing ideas.
In the summer of 2017, Cognitiva Records, label runned by SofaTalk, became aware of the project and decided without hesitating to press 1,2,3, original tracks of the release “The Ambassador’s Way EP”. The compositions are a combination of the electronic drums of DJ Rou (MPC, Korg Electribe and other gears), the contrabass and the guitar of LaChi + ThomasPizzini, better known as Lite Orkestra. The result is a hybrid exuberance between jazz, afro and the experimental flow that derives from the roots of the Jam Sessions.
Boss of Church, Seb Wildblood and SofaTalk join Contours with exclusive remixes for this record.
