Review: DFRA & Nick Weaver - Beautiful Place LP (Silver Walker Recordings)

Credit(s) where credit(s) due, to get into this 'Beautiful Place' of eight tracks, you have to fly into jazz-hip-hop heritage from Seattle, Buenos Aires and Colombia!

I've said it before, DFRA on Trusted Rhythm Records with 'Give Me' (see review HERE) or on MATE as a DFRA Experience (see review HERE) you know that  when it comes to blending soul, jazz and classic house, you know that Diego Ruiz (aka DFRA) has got more than one finger on the buttons; especially as he's joined here with Nick Weaver.  

Making the move from 'A Quiet Storm' (see review HERE) he's landed in a beautiful place with Nick Weaver that's moves you like Gil Scot-Heron with Roy Hargrove on a Bill Evans mets ATCQ hill top surveying all that they an see.

Seattle-born hip hop artist Nick Weaver and Colombian jazz and house producer DFRA are set to release their debut collaborative album, 'Beautiful Place', digitally on October 2, followed by a limited run vinyl release. The eight-track project is fully live-instrumented by DFRA's band, and produced and mixed by DFRA, out now under Silver Walker Recordings.

The album traces one person's search for peace inside a city that rarely offers it, with vocals from Weaver that are full of observations on finding your place amid the chaos of Buenos Aires. Weaver and DFRA first crossed paths in the city, striking up a friendship that led to early collaborations on DFRA's house projects before turning to create their first joint album, Beautiful Place.

Lead single 'Beautiful Place' and second single 'Credits' are out now, with the full album following October 2 on all streaming services.

PS. don't mention Seahawks.
