Sobra Recordings : TROPICALISMO Vol. 1

[GottaKeepFaithRecords]

Various Artists - "TROPICALISMO Vol. 1" [SOB003]



Sobra Recordings is proud to present Tropicalismo Vol 1: a collection of music that straddles an array of genres and styles.
As some of you will know, it was always our intention to push the envelope with the launch of the label and we hope you'll agree that this compilation achieves that comfortably.
If we were to write about all the artists and tracks included, you would be reading all day so for once we've decided to let the music do the talking.

This is a very important release for us so your feedback is even more crucial than usual. Please take a few moments to let us know what you think by emailing us at sobra@gkfrecords.eu

Supported by:

- JOHN MATEO – “Hello, INCREDIBLE. I LOVE IT ALL!!!!”

- DR. BOB JONES – “On 1st listen there's some quality music on the CD. Have my full support on this and I will review it for you in MANIFESTO magazine in the issue that hits the streets in Sept. Also charter on my top ten’s. Stay blessed and enjoy the summer.”

- SOSUE (SoulKomplex – Raw Artistic Soul) – “Melchyor A - In your Soul and Georg Neufeld - Betthupferl are my favs. Lovely package! Will support, pls check the radioshow newsletter this evening.”

- MICHAEL FOSSATI – “With "Tropicalismo Vol. 1", Sobra Records presents an eclectic album featuring a gorgeous selection of musical gems that cover many genres and styles including jazz, funk, bossa, broken beat and house from artists such as Steve Paradise, Melchyor A, Spiritual Blessings, Sonic Warriors, Georg Neufeld, Fabrizio Marra or Deymare to just name a few. This is one of those albums that doesn't need much writing as the music does all the talking. Go and get yourself a copy, then grab a drink and chill to these wonderful vibes...”

- RICHARD EARNSHAW – “Some lovely music as always guys.....”

- ZWEIKLANG – “The Tropicalismo Album from Sobra Recordings is a true journey into latin, funk, bossa, breaks and house music. We like the overall feeling. Our favourite tracks are "Melchyor A - In your Soul", "Sonic Warriors - Miles in the Sky" and "Massifsoul - The moonshine". Full support and in our dj bag this summer!”

- DEAN SERAFINI (JjazProject Mag) – “Sobra’s latest is a wonderful album that embraces a wide range of styles.Whether you like it mellow, funky jazzy or chilled, with or without vocals, this album has something for you. If I was to draw any comparison with this release it would most likely be to Acid Jazz and fans of that label will almost certainly enjoy Tropicalismo. There are tracks from some of the established artists from within the GKF family along with contributions from several newcomers. I can’t pick out a single weak link in the package and would heartily advise picking this one up sooner rather than later.”

- SEBASTIAN NORGREN – “Like this compilation a lot. Good music all through. An album that will work well in my bar-gigs and early evening club gigs. 2 tracks I will b workin especially are: Steve Paradise ft Elisabeth Geel 'Indian Love (Summer Paradise Mix)' and Melchyor A 'In Your Soul'”

- GREG DEL PIERO – “Very nice!!!!”

- DJ LENNY WALKER – “OMG PURE FIYAAAAAAAA KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK FELLAS,IM REALLY FEELING THIS”
