The style of music centers around soulful vocals, infectious
beats, diverse rythymns and engaging hooklines. Usually the music swings
laterally although some is vertically integrated.
"I look for something going on, evolving, developing within a tune.
The styles I like are Soul, Funk, Latin, Jazz and Modern Vocal house".

New Release:
Funky Soul Brothers is a testament to some classic contemporary soul
voices. The first part of the cd is placed against a background of
sweet house music in cruise control.
From track 7 my signiture diversion kicks in introducing a soca beat,a
latin feel, jazzy instrumentals and finally a chilled out deep black
vocal.
It's really a celebration of love and music. Very uplifting and positive.
Check it out. |

This is the first CD I did, and it just
clicked into place. Some classic female vocals with a genuine R &
B feel and a funky backbeat. Some real gems from 96 appear here as
well. Has been sold out but has now been re-released and re-mastered
with 3 bonus tracks. |

After a few requests to do another Divas
I came up with this one. Not as funky as the first one, it was definitely
more sultry and tinged with jazzy vibes. I've kept to the previous
format of throwing in some Latin lines. The most laid back of all
my Cd's. Some powerful lyrics and sounds here. |

Is an international melting pot of sauces
and flavours from the middle eastern sounds of Natacha Atlas and Bic
Runga to the mediterreanean emotions of Anna Vissi to the sexy and
breathy strains of Bridget Bardot. The rest of the album is a bookend
of electro-contemorary soul and the classically cool ebony tones of
Nina Simone and Cassandra Wilson. Just put it on and chill! |

Funky London Junction was inspired by
the band in late 1997. The CD has a charm from its own incongruity
which has enabled it to become a bit of a cult hero. It's an interesting
mix of rare groove, contemporary Latin and Lounge. Has a wide appeal. |

As the subtitle suggests this CD contains
some unguarded happy snaps of Oz-Funk between 1975-1996. A few tracks
that made me smile and I'm sure you'll love them too. |

Space Junk 2001 aims to take the listener
on a cinemascopic space trip. From the funky early cuts, to the wierd
Executive Party, the moody Required Dreams, the brooding Blue Skies,
the suprise of CHILDREN OF THE GHETTO to the complex etherial textures,
it's a chill out album that will really put you at ease. Enjoy it!
Released OCT 2001 |

Some various themes of love.
Some infectious feels early that transform to a lighter palette of
acid jazz, drum & bass flavours like the vibraphone on Heavy Vibes,
chill's right out with a Groove Armada classic. |
