Sounds Like: ...a new experimental movement into the world of electronica, being so bluesy and funky that its jazz roots appear somewhat superseded. Some fans will be disappointed by discovering that the hip hop element is more pronounced over reggae and Brazilian drum 'n' bass and others will be amazed to find that rembetiko meets rock and 70's soul in a trip hop environment while flirting with some kinky acid jazz textures. You can simply call it Hip Happy.
Record Label: ...still looking for a label madder than me!
