Futuristica’s latest release is by one of the most talented producers around, Kamara.
The sound is crisp, tight and very soulful, up there with any contemporary beat maker, you can easily compare him to the late J-Dilla, Spinna, Spacek and even Pete Rock. Joining Kamara on this debut single is an equally talented singer/songwriter Deborah Jordan, who is not only the vocalist for one of the best soul/broken beat groups at the moment, Silhouette Brown but also fronts the contemporary jazz super group Robert Mitchell’s Panacea. She has also graced tracks for Bugz In The Attic, Unforscene and Domu.
The original title track ‘Rise’ is sparse, lush and incredibly soulful where as the remix kings Yam Who? twist it into a broken boogie dancefloor monster with the dirtiest bass line in years. The bonus cut, ‘Namaste’, is a deep trip into the world of future hip hop with Kamara’s trademark drum groove knocking a hole in your speakers.
There’s more music to come from Kamara in the form of a second single and full album later this year. Keep an eye on Futuristica Music for all this and more.
