Reissue des Debütalbums »Press On« (2007) des Multiinstrumentalisten, Produzenten und DJs Adam Gibbons (aka Lack of Afro), ein Koloss der UK Retro-Soul/Funk-Szene. Laut iDJ »eines der wichtigsten Alben der modernen Funk-Ära«.
From starting to play the piano at age 7 through to picking up the alto sax, then being introduced to a drum kit (as well as plucking a few chords on the guitar), it's safe to say that Lack of Afro lives and breathes music. Sorry to start off with such a cliché, but listening to the almost instinctive style prevalent on this young musician's debut album, it is hard to imagine him doing anything else. Still only 26 years old, Adam Gibbons found his feet after getting into funk and soul whilst studying Music Technology at University and started to ply his trade in various bands around Exeter.
Having posted a few tracks onto a friends website in 2006, word soon spread to the Freestyle offices, where he was instantly snapped up and released the huge selling "Wait A Minute" - the magnum funk opus included here. One of the label's fastest selling 12"s, it has gone onto sell huge numbers worldwide and licensed to countless compilations. The follow up "Roderigo" also flew off the shelves and is still in huge demand to this day. Soon after this, the offers of remix work came flooding in - to date Adam has sprinkled his Afro magic on Diesler, The New Mastersounds, Eddie Roberts (NMS), Tim Wood (Social Beats) and is currently working on remixes for Nicole Willis and Flevans, as well as producing an entire album for US band The Diplomats of Solid Sound. His tracks have also picked up numerous radio plays, appearing on BBC Radio 1, Radio 2, 6 Music, Xfm and many more.
Taking its cues from the heavy funk and soul of the 70s, but giving them an updated twist, "Press On" is without a doubt one of the finest albums of the Modern Funk era. Playing the majority of the instruments himself, Adam has created a contemporary classic. From the opening track, you can hear a sincere and honest love of funk and an understanding of what works both on the dance floor and at home. Highlights include the does-exactly-what-it-says-on-the-tin "Pure Filth", the sublime genius of "Touch My Soul", featuring the voice of the late Steve Marriot, and the inspired cover of the Arctic Monkeys' "When The Sun Goes Down" - already a firm favourite with DJs.
Already being touted as "the next Quantic" we're sure you'll agree that this young and talented producer has carved a new niche for himself. With the charm and musicality of funk pioneers such as The Meters, James Brown and Jimmy Smith, but with a contemporary twist, we're sure this will find favour with fans of artists such as DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist, The Breakestra, Quantic Soul Orchestra and Mark Ronson.
Press On….Stand Up….and Feel The Funk!
