The first release from the Albert’s Favourites family sees co-founder Jonny Drop at the controls with two slices of beat tape deepness. Drop is best known as one quarter of The Expansions and for elevating rhythm sections as live drummer for Andrew Ashong and The Gene Dudley Group.
Mind Field kicks off this release with a chunky beat and soulful vocals that draw inspiration from south London luminaries like Mo Kolours and Wu-Lu. This Is The One’s initial gentle swing gives way to a hypnotic drum beat that almost trips over itself. Tasteful vocal edits spatter the track with texture while a quick vacation into jazz territory draws it back to its roots. Yet another twist in the tail here as it strips back almost to a slo-mo-jazz-house work out to close out. For fans of Eric Lau and Tall Black guy!!!!
