- Paleozoic feat. Joe Maynard – The Force No.3 -

An all-star Charlottesville, Virginia lineup here.
Take a trip to Avon Street, in the heart of residential Belmont,
the Charlottesville neighborhood with true character and flavor.
The sound of a two-hundred foot tall Television tower.
The sound of that mysterious car radiator shop.
The sound of sunlight penetrating a suburban window shade.
The sound of old Virginia theaters in dusty repose –
being awakened and shaken into a new consciousness.
It’s a DIY Southern heat wave.
Featuring Abel Okugawa, Raphael Wintersberger, and Aaron Farrington,
plus a cast of many others.

Phonica Records 51 Poland st London

“Nine track mini album from West Coast producer Abel Okugawa, whose rich blend of influences range from dub to laid back hip hop to loungy new jazz beats to sweetly atmospheric analogue electronica, all underpinned with tabla playing and abstract percussion. With so many elements bubbling away in his sound you would expect something much more hectic than the sweetly refined grooves that grace this 12″.”
