Radio City feat. Bajka - EP One

BLUES AND SOUL SINGLE OF THE FORTNIGHT:
RADIO CITY: Radio City EP One (Ubiquity)

Ooooh, how delish is this? Radio City is Berlin boy Niko Schabel and his enviable band. Encompassing future funk, old soul, new jazz and dreamy dub into their well-rounded sound, Radio City release this debut 4-track EP and the finished product is pure niceness. On the A are ?Everything? and ?The Prophets?. The former is the EP highlight- sounding like the lovechild of Morcheeba and Portishead, with big bass, bold brass and a scrumptious, smoky vocal from her royal highness of funk, Bajka. The latter is a hectic Giles Peterson-style jazz funker. Bajka returns on the flip with the trippy spoken word of ?Voices?, while track ?Mondlicht? is more mellow than those pink and white fluffy sweets. If you like Ursula Rucker, Massive Attack and Nostalgia 77, you?ll love this. (Out: February 7th)
