ALEXANDER SOPCHEK-Masks-African rhythms Jazz-Funk CD

ALEXANDER SOPCHEK

Masks

NEW CD

 A wonderful crossover of styles -- recorded by Yugoslavian producer Alexander Sopcheck, but influenced strongly by mode of African rhythms, all filtered through a European remix sensibility to give the record a fresh modern sound. There's a heck of a lot of percussion on the set, all looped and layered, in a mode that we might call "downtempo Afro Funk". 

Masks is Sopchek's first album for Cosmic Sounds and is entirely dedicated to Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanzania. All the tracks are based on original local stories and are almost short documentaries. Sopcheck's approach to African music is the most original I've heard so far. Although everything sounds so fresh, full of Jazz, Funk and even Drum'n  Bass, he succeeded to preserve the roots and original African atmosphere. None of the styles is prevailing. Everything is blended so nicely into original and from now on very recognizable Sopchek's style.
