Compost Records will be basking in the 'Golden Glow' of Yuu Udagawa as it becomes a summer must have: expect big support from Gilles Peterson and all the usual suspects.
You'll recall Yuu Udagawa's 'Ride It' / 'The Peaceful Dawn' from last year with the a trio of remixes by three of our favourites on the "knob twiddles": JKriv, Fred Everything and Manuel Tur (see review HERE). Well, 'Golden Glow' is a 4-tracker that's even better as Yuu's jazzy keys have some additional Henri Mancini 60s OST cool with "electric samba-infused broken beat".
It's housey warped jazz CO-OP (see 'Our Music Our Culture Vol. 2' review HERE), especially the killer instrumental track 'Reverie' and 'Velvet City' that hints at 'golden (Ed. no pun etc) era' hip-hop jazzy house.
The other two tracks are just as mesmeric, the title track and the jazzy electro boogie mash of 'One More': love the jazz club vibes here.
Yuu Udagawa is the highlight of the summer so far! Again!
