With hip hop based beats, Nostalgia 77 dusts off old jazz, obscuro funk and psych bits n' pieces, repolishing and re-arranging for modern day headphone junkies.
"He has a real talent for making the tunes into an atmosphere rather than a clever collection of beats. This beats Blue Note silly, echoes the best of P-Funk and puts DJ Shadow to shame!"
- Record Collector
With hip hop based beats that come from the same musical crates as the likes of RJD2, Nostalgia 77 dusts off old jazz, obscuro funk and psych bits n' pieces for 'Songs For My Funeral', repolishing and re-arranging for modern day headphone junkies.
The maturity and sensitivity of Nostalgia 77's music belie his relatively recent step into beatmaking. Moodier than your average record dealer with at least twice as much soul, 'Songs For My Funeral' is heavy on atmospherics and even heavier on the beats ~ about the only thing that cuts through the lush instrumentation and weighty, cinematic feel.
"A brooding epic of somber horns, acoustic bass, gospel voices and crunching beats… an utterly engaging debut."
