Yoruba Records is pleased to welcome Dario Rosa to the family with his first release on the label, “No Ede”. This two-track EP takes listeners on a hyponotic journey and delivers nothing short of a rhythmic workout. Starting off with the title track, No Ede is originally a gospel song – but not the type you may think. Traditional African percussion leads this track from the opening bars. Smooth stringed rhythyms open up and create space as the hypnotic melody of the Kora carries you away. On the flip side we are greeted with Somethin’– which is already everything. A decidedly deep cut heavily influenced by the early ‘90s House sound. Funky keys and an infectious bassline beg you to move as the low end keeps you locked in motion. This introspective groove is made for the late night dance floor and will bring you back while looking ever forward.

Moodymann creates innovative soul funky music with deep 70s inspiration. The vocals are simply outstanding. A step back in time, 50 years ago! Superb. jef37
