"Like You" by Major Effect is a genre-blending love anthem that incorporates Afrobeat rhythms with heartfelt pop melodies. Infused with the warmth of island sunsets and the emotional pull of a timeless love story, the track features soulful vocals reminiscent of traditional male pop - soft, sincere, and captivating. With lyrics like “I’ll go wherever you go, with you it feels like home”,  Like You is a tender reminder that real love feels like coming home, no matter where you are.

Like everything, 'In The Lens' has been shaped by its past, the music recovered from the garbled intestines of a decades-old hard drive and previously lost emails that were, over the years, left to wallow in discontinued, withering accounts. Forlorn and forgotten samples that were recorded on cassette dictaphones shed a gentle light on Solo Andata’s musical lineage, but in this new era fresh elements appear alongside these re-worked sounds. As a result, the music has both a contemporary and a lightly dated feel to it, like memories shrouded in orbs of present moment dust...

‘Night Wave’ is a recording that is a grand production that features some fantastic musicians.
Composed by Zeb Samuels, Joshua Mckenzie (aka Mcknasty) on drums and Byron Wallen on Trumpet.

Mcknasty is a name that many will associate with the UK Jazz scene & most recently as part of the Kamaal Williams project, as well as for working with the likes of Wretch 32 and Plan B. Here on ‘Night Wave’ we hear Mcknasty adding delicate drums to the production that is recorded with an abundance of warmth. Recorded at the prestigious Rubix Studios in London, the drums here contain a beautiful energy that brings light and spirit to the record.

Throughout the recording, we also hear the magical tones of Byron Wallen, who is a Trumpet player that holds a prestigious title as a musician. Byron has worked with the likes of George Benson, Chaka Khan, Courtney Pine and Lonnie Liston Smith to name some career highlights. Wallen also won the BBC's Innovation In Jazz award for his third album ‘Indigo’ and performs a mystical solo towards the end of this song that is silky smooth on your ears.

On Rhodes, pads and Vocals is Zeb Samuels. Zeb also produced and mixed the track and is a display of his talents as writer, composer, producer and performer.

On remix duties are Feverkin and Julien Marchal.
The Feverkin remix continues the journey of mellow vibes, but adds his unique twist on the record that brings a new energy to these magical compositions.

Lastly in this presentation is the Julien Marchal improvisation of ‘Night Wave’.
A classical interpretation of the track, that can only be described as pure genius.

We hope you enjoy :)

	Ryukyu Underground is Keith Gordon and Jon Taylor. The two met in Okinawa Japan in the fall of 1998, both shared an interest in Okinawan music, contemporary dance music and an occasional night on the town. Strangely, on their first meeting both told each other of a vision they each had individually had, to create a musical project which incorporated elements of the Okinawan sound into contemporary electronic and dance music.

Ryukyu Underground is the result: a combination of traditional melodies and textures of Okinawan music mixed with elements of ambient, drum'n'bass, hip-hop, jungle, dub, and electronica. The result is a musical champuru - the Okinawan word for mixture, so important in the culture and society of contemporary Okinawa - but a champuru with a decidedly modern sound and a club sensibility. They signed to Tokyo based Respect Records and released their debut CD in the Spring of 2002.

In the following years they have released 3 more studio albums and a remix album with remixes of their tracks by such artists as Karsh Kale, Junkie XL, Da Lata and Kid Loco. They also contributed a track to the ‘Rough Guide to Okinawa” compilation CD released through World Music Network and have appeared on three Buddha Bar compilations They have remixed tracks for Miyazawa, Karsh Kale, Yuri Chika and Uru amongst others, . They have also composed music for a series of educational DVDs.
