Amp Fiddler

Joseph "Amp" Fiddler, originally a keyboardist from Detroit, is a funk and soul musician who has worked with Enchantment, the Dramatics, George Clinton, Moodyman, Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, Fishbone and Maxwell. Along with his brother, Budz, he realsed the album Mr Fiddler in 1990 on Elektra. His debut solo album Waltz of a Ghetto Fly was released in 2004. The new album'Afro Strut' is the follow up to that record and a sign that his assured and open-minded approach to his own sound has engendered a stylistic leap forward, creating in the process a diverse and ambitious second album.

Valerio Cosi

"Italian galactico Valerio Cosi returns with his second album for foxglove, and raises the stakes considerably. He bends his saxophone into a glistening array of aural armaments, channelling the ghosts of giants, these spaced-out, eastern-infused missives. Cosi is a master at bending tones and meshing multiple instruments and styles into a cohesive unit. Layers of guitars, horns, percussion and more create everything from whimsical pop to sprawling, esoteric drone. "The Spiritual Committee" is the perfect homage to the roman gods of yore.
