Electro-Blues Vol.2 (2014) is a double digipack CD and download album featuring one side of vintage and another of vintage-influenced sound. Taking a fresh look at what constitutes the blues, both musically and in terms of attitude, this album is not one for the purist. Side-stepping the cliches, it aims to breathe new life into a genre that once defined cool.
Side one is hot off the dance floor at our underground test-bed club nights in London and Brighton where vintage classics have been cut with hip-hop, dub step, glitch and break beat. Combining the energy and feel of the original music with the clean percussive production of the lap-top generation adds a welcome sonic frisson. Side two further compliments this by re-contextualising the idiom as a form of gritty late night jukebox entertainment and offering a reminder that the roots of this music are as much about Saturday night escapism as they are about extended guitar solos on a 12 bar progression.
Electro Blues Vol.1 was released in early 2013 and divided critical opinion and blues fans alike. It received support from the likes of Craig Charles on BBC 6Music - \"I'm gonna be playing this album to death!\" - and Blues & Soul Mag who gave it their coveted \"most unusual blues album of the year\" award. On top of hosting the afore-mentioned club nights in London and Brighton, electro-blues was invited onto the festival circuit, programming electro-blues themed stages at Glastonbury's Shangri-La, Secret Garden Party, Bestival, Love Supreme and more.
The complete series features original classics and remixes of artists including Muddy Waters, Lightning Hopkins, Little Walter, Howlin Wolf, Etta James, Robert Johnson, Wynonie Harris, Freddie King, Ruth Brown, Amos Milburn, Clarence 'Frogman' Henry, The Clovers, Floyd Dixon, Big Mama Thornton, Big Joe Turner, Ann Cole, Little Junior, Julia Lee, Huey 'Piano' Smith and many more Jukebox Blues and R&B from the 1940s and 50s.
