Description
2020, 12″ compilation LP, San-Kofa Rhythm Records.
Black Gravity is a collection of tunes that aims to find the perfect sweet-spot between groove and soul. It is named after the Herbie Hancock and A Guy Called Gerald collaboration from 2001 which, say the label, achieved just that. Belgium’s 21-year-old AliA, already a revered digger, puts togther the first collection and sure does unearth some late night treasures. These sounds are future fusions of jazz, broken beat and bossa that are richly musical and atmospheric. There are deep cuts from Pippin, punchy rhythms from Forbidden Fruit and sun-worshipping synth grooves like Windows Daidu that all add up to an essential first volume. – Juno
