WICKED LESTER- FUNKY PSYCH

Mad Liberation is a collection of songs that I have been working on for the past year that ranged from mostly original compositions to varied sample work (retro vinyl recordings and new all original recordings); digital synthesis that took me weeks to master; to live instrumentation tediously and soulfully recorded by myself and some of my very good friends. 

This collection of noise - to me - became an album, a sound in a whole, an idea free from limits of thought and more an idea of the heart and soul. Mad Liberation is a piece of me that is representative of my past, breathes life into my present, and is a taste of the future. 

I don't have fancy recording equipment, amazing speakers, crazy keyboards, complicated sample packs, proper studio time, cutting edge midi controllers, or outboard mixing gear. 

What I do have is an endless imagination of the future/now, unrelenting will, constant fascination, and a heart that has no capacity to stop loving and trying. 

This business - when you boil it down - is not about the machine, but about the man. Even electronic music is humanistic. We breath life into these dead things to make them whisper and ROAR!! I am inspired by that fact, and this is what sets me free.

This is Mad Liberation

P.S. Thank you all for continuing to support my sound. I am so blown away, impressed, and excited at how many of you guys come out and show love at my shows! Thanks for being such a big part of it!! (this is only the beginning for #teamGRiZ)


Big love to my friends Dominic Lalli (of Big Gigantic) and Dan Hacker (aka MuzzY) for providing some live instrumentation. (Dom's sax in "Mr. B" and Dan's guitar in "Fall in Love Too Fast" & "See You Again")

Nneka - Africans (Neeco Delaf remix)

Umbo is back on Timewarp imprint with a heavy roasted nufunk EP Sunday Jam.

Grand opener is the self titled Sunday Jam feat. Goran Schmidt on the Saxophone. As the title states it is indeed a great jam funk tune to blow your minds featuring a great baseline, amazing solo saxophone and heavy funk guitars. Basement Freaks remixes and recreates a nudisco/nufunk floor-filler track while Audio InFunktion transforms the song into a well done funk breakbeat to the bone groove.

The second song Keep That Beat feat. Mila continues the journey with soulful and funky vocals from Mila. With a crazy fast clavinet and big breakbeats the song drives through the amazing baseline. Label boss Timewarp inc slows down the song with his remix by adding elegant and stylish keys and afro vibes over the original. Cayetano closes the Ep with his downtempo funk groove rework.

Track 1,4,5,6 analogue taped by Umbo. Mastered by Angelos Timewarp Stoumpos.

Track 2 - keys & synth by Dado Dzihan, bass guitar by Dragan Rokvic

Umbo – Sunday Jam EP will be available on April 22, 2013 for sale in special edition CDR and digital download at timewarpstore and all mp3 retailers across the internet.

Petit rêve bizarre X - Improvisation by Milana

"...excellent latin-breakbeat roller rework of Mankoora‘s El Loco, which steams through at a breezy 140-plus bpm" Monkeyboxing.com (28.5.13)

This remix is included on the new Hiperbole Records compilation Jamboree 2012

http://hiperbole.bandcamp.com/album/hiperbole-jamboree-2012-go-jazz-not-ape

"Jamboree means “Coming together” and Hiperbole’s Jamboree compilation is a melting pot of unreleased nuggets that bring together the label’s artists. Listen to previously unavailable remixes, versions or teasers of forthcoming releases.

Go Jazz Not Ape! is a showcase extraordinaire of the Hiperbole artists’ sound from the past, present and future. From lush Downbeat themes to hot Latin uptempo beats, Dub driven songs to Folky tunes, and from Jazz infused and Soul flavoured Breakbeats to mystical sounding Analog Kraut form the Black Forest, this compilation has it all. 

The artwork displays a chaotic “Death Star” composition of boxes and speakers done by Austrian Graphic Artist Dubhead, underlining how it's all about the sound. Triberg opens the album with the great bass and drum-driven “Lafette”, while Renegades Of Jazz join forces with Soul singer Jane Kennaway to deliver a brass-driven and soulful mid-tempo Jazz theme. Daytoner keeps things moving with his Latin rendition of Mankoora's “El Loco” and Mister Bingle & Renegades Of Jazz come together for their “Bossa Nostra”. Get your hips shakin' to Savages' “Beatsmith”, a breakbeat and brass styled uptempo jam, as well as German beat connoisseur Quincy Jointz’s superb remix of Napz' “Ain't Got Nobody”. Fredo, who gained notoriety through various compilations, delivers Dub anthem “Black Panther” featuring beautiful horn lines and a great arrangement. 

Kaleidoscope Jukebox once again shows off his production skills on the wonderful remix of Loopez's “Wachimanes”, taking it into an exotic and Latin direction, while UK based producer Simon Ham aka Phase 5 Stereo turns 90's Latin Jazz track “South Of the Sun” by Skip & The Velvet Black into a modern Acid Jive. Madball Scientists has been re-souled by South-American based Loopez who takes this dusty Jazz number into Latin depths, working it into a wonderful slow-tempo belter. German Funk duo Mash & Munkee show that they're also great at working out some Jazz fudge with the upright “Spines And Rays” featuring bass clarinet. Savages again has been remixed by the wonderful Cuz who turned track “Fun” into a dark Downbeat joy. Hamburg-based Folk duo Sirens And Whistles recorded their song “Man's Freedom” exclusively for this compilation and with it prove how a guitar and vocals are enough to create an intriguing tune. The Penguin Walkers provide a track from their upcoming EP on Hiperbole, “Nosferatu”, a dark and mysterious sounding Jazz theme inspired by movie soundtracks. Finally Berlin-based producer and multi-instrumentalist André Lamb aka Audiophysical features the flute of Marseille-based Hugo Kant for a deep sounding and drum layered track. 

Get excited by the Hiperbole Jamboree!

Released: Monday 3rd June 2013
