Following the massive success of the debut LUST album, compiled by Master At Work Louie Vega, suSU are now delighted to announce that ‘all things dance’ music connoisseur, production wizard and remix extraordinaire Joey Negro (aka Dave Lee, Jakatta, Akabu, Raven Maize, Z Factor, The Sunburst Band etc) is supplying the soundtrack for the follow up album.
The LUST theme is threaded and has been inspired by Swedish born artist Jonas Larsson who is fast becoming one of the acclaimed names of the visual arts fraternity. Jonas’ tastefully erotic images combine conceptual imagery with textual prose. His unique blend of digitally enhanced monochrome photographs of the female form are then tinged with hand daubed paint and they caused a sensation when they were showcased as part of the ‘Off the Record’ series at ArtSpace Gallery in London last April.
The images from the ’Off the Record’ series provide the exclusive artwork for the LUST albums and a source of inspiration for the DJ compiling them. Following Louie Vega’s New York inspired first edition, Joey Negro has now picked up the baton, supplying two orgasmic mixes of sexy soul, funk disco, acid house, future club classics, exclusive re-edits, house anthems, current dance-floor fillers and unreleased world exclusives.
LUST again leaves the opposition standing, recognising that graphics and music can feed off each other, creating the perfect synergy between erotic imagery and the breathless sexual energy that epitomises the best dance music.
