Slack Baba

A melting pot of fluid grooves and swirling psychedelic melodies, blended with a healthy dose of dubby phatness and a touch of the ethnic, Slackbaba's music draws the listener through a labyrinth of pulsing rhythms and mind-altering sonic states. Jonny's debut album on Liquid Records, ‘…and the beat goes om…’ demonstrates his skills of sound manipulation and organic instrumentation with a new take on psychedelic electronica, combining quality production and skilful musicianship with an ability to cross genres tastefully.

Lettuce

(...)It was 1992 at the Berklee School of Music, and a few high school summer session kids exploded onto the Boston jazz scene with killer chops and bottomless energy. Drawn together at the altar of funky soul, Eric Krasno, Sam Kininger, Adam Deitch, Erick Coomes, Jeff Bhasker, and Ryan Zoidis began taking over local clubs and jam nights on borrowed sound equipment. Brash and precocious, the guys always got what they needed: "Let us borrow your gear." "Let us play one more tune." "Let us crash on your couch." Thus Lettuce ("Let us...") was born, and the funky gospel found another apostle.
