Sorry for the lack of updates, I've had a busy weekend. To make up for it, I'm going to post my favorite track of the year. Story Records is a spankin' new record label coming out of (where else but) Germany and their first record, Subway to Cologne was released earlier this month. These guys are serious purists; the record's songs aren't credited to anyone (although it turns out the artist is someone who goes by the name of C.B. Funk), and they're only releasing on vinyl for the moment. It's all about the music, man. A-side "Subway to Cologne" is mesmerizing, with a slow burning, funky groove and a weird, weird, weird, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful vocal sample. The song has the kind of atmosphere that really feels good on the mind, soul and body around four in the morning-- soft and shimmering. The two B-sides are also spot on, though neither of them have the surreal quality of "Subway to Cologne"'s sample. This record came out of left field for me, and it's pretty much jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Check it out.

He's actually one half of Arto Mwambe, if I have my facts correct. He and Phillip Laurer (the other half) are some of the most underrated producers out there. Good on you for covering this.
This is some really nice stuff. Thanks for the tip broseph.
