Dedy Dread (Feat. my 9year old daughter, Nicole White) - SHIMALAMALA

Listen to one of the new tracks by The Bas Lexter Ensample - New album - Tres Greatful Amigos out now on www.Deja-Tunes.com. 

Die nächste Platte bitte! The Bas Lexter Ensample ist zurück. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist das 3te Album des in Hannover ansässigen Multi-instrumentalisten, DJs und Produ-zenten Ricci Puncha, welcher der Mann hinter diesem Projekt ist. Was sonst könnten wir sagen? Diese Platte bereitet einem einfach gute Laune. Wieder Mal bietet Bas Lexter uns seine großartige Spieltart zwischen 50iger bis hin zu 70iger Themen an, die in gewohnter Manier mit modernen, swingenden Beats, jazzigen Meldodien und Einflüssen, sowie mit vielen knisternden Soul Samples garniert sind.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ eröffnet das Album mit einem atmosphärischen Feeling, das einen an den Eröffnungstitel eines alten Alfred Hitchcock Streifens denken lässt, der auf einen 90iger DJ mit echten ‘Scratchskills’ trifft. Bas öffnet uns von der ersten Minute an die Türen in sein musikalisches Universum. Der zweite Titel ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ ist eine ‘dicke’ ‘Rare Groove’ Nummer mit wunderbaren Bläser- und Strecherlinien unterlegt und einem Oldschool MC, der seine Rhymes über eine Menge positiver Energie fließen lässt. Man würde am liebesten nach Jamaika fliegen nachdem man die ‘heiße Sommernacht’ Reggae Nummer ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ gehört hat. Der Track ist schlicht und ergreifend eine Perle von einem Underground Reggae Titel. Ebenso wie ‘Blessings’, welches eine Remix Adaption von Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ ist, hier in einer ‘rootsigen’, energetischen und leichtfüssigen Retro-interpretation. Was mehr braucht man mehr um ein Bas Lexter Album zu machen? Jazzy Swings? Diese werden mit ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ und dem percussionlastigen Titel Voo-doo King serviert. Auf der Uptempo Seite haben wir authentische Breakbeats mit dem B-Boy Track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas wäre nicht Bas, würde er uns nicht für einen Moment in die Gefilde der ‘Latin’ Musik entführen. Mit ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ und der Easy Listening Nummer ‘Bá!’ kommt er unseren Freunden auf der Süd-Amerikanischen Seite des Globus entgegen. Er spielt seine melancholischen Gitarren- und Pianolinien über wunderbar rhythmische und treibende Latinobeats. Auf der Soulseite haben wir tiefe und langsame Soultracks wie ‘Wassup’ und ‘The 4th Take’, die einen an die guten alten ‘Marvin Gaye’ Zeiten erinnern. Mit ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ und ‘Follow You’ beendet Bas sein Album in einer traditionellen Manier mit etwas Downbeat ‘Freshness’. Titel die sich von der ersten Minute anhören, als ob man sie schon immer kennen würde und als ob sie schon immer da gewesen wären.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ ist wie ein Statement bezüglich der nun insgesamt drei erschienen Bas Lexter Alben. Sie sind allesamt ‘Amigos’, es gibt` drei oder ‘Tres’ von ihnen und wir sind dankbar – ‘Greatful’ bei Deja-Tunes, dass wir mit dieser tollen Musik arbeiten dürfen.

                                                                                                                                                  

Next record please! The Bas Lexter Ensample is back. ‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is the 3rd album of the Hanover based multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Ricci Puncha, who is the guy behind the project. What can we say? This record will make you having an uplifting time. Again Bas Lexter provides the finest mixture between 50ies to 70ies music styles, combined with his modern swinging beats, jazzy influenced melodies and many sizzling, soulful samples.

‘DJ Cuzcos Revenge’ introduces the record with an atmospherically feeling, reminding in the opener of an old Alfred Hitchcock movie, meeting up with skillful early-90ies Dj cuts. Bas opens up the doors into his universe of music from the first minute on. The second title ‘Sweetback Fresh Out Da Jack’ is a heavy ‘Rare Groove’ track with amazing string- and hornworks and an Oldschool MC who is flowing with his rhymes over a lot of positiv energy. The ‘hot-summer-night’ Reggae tune ‘Lonley Feeling (Rocking Night)’ simply is a pearl of an underground Reggae music title that makes you want to buy a ticket and fly to Jamaica and get deeper into their Reggae music culture. Just like ‘Blessings’ which is a remix adaptation from Aaron Bingle’s ‘Can You Hear Me Now’ – in a rootsy, easy sounding and energizing retro-interpretation. What more does it take to make a Bas Lexter album? Jazzy swings? They are being served with ‘Dickie’s Freestyle Mambo’ and the percussion weighted track Voo-doo King. On the uptempo side we have some authentic Breakbeats coming with the B-Boy track ‘Blendsfield’. Bas would not be Bas if he would not lead us into the fields of Latin music for a moment. With ‘No Te Meta’, ‘Me La Llevo’ and the Easy Listening tittle ‘Bá!’ he is satisfying our friends on the South-American side of the globe. Sweet, melancholic guitars and piano melodies are running over his swinging and powerful latino rhythms. On the ‘souldside’ we have the deep and slow soultracks ‘Wassup’ and ‘The 4th Take’, reminding a bit in the good old ‘Marvin Gaye’ times. With ‘Jane C’, ‘Last Time Last Chance’ and ‘Follow You’, Bas is finishing the album in a traditional manner with some downbeat freshness, sounding like these perfect tracks you would know since ever and which have always been there.

‘Tres Greatful Amigos’ is like a statement regarding the 3 albums Bas has done so far. They are all ‘Amigos’, it`s three or ‘Tres’ of them and we are ‘Greatful’ at Deja-Tunes to being able to work with this great music.
