a propos:
Having seemingly been taken aback by their success over the last two years, Vancouver's Mood Hut crew has decided to go back to basics with an album - the crew's first - from the previously unheralded Disco Mantras. Naturally, they're keeping tight-lipped about the identity of its' creators, but it appears to be a collaborative effort containing various members of their extended family. Musically, it's as rich, attractive and loved-up as we've come to expect, with their usual blazed, new age ambient house sounds being joined by influences that range from spaced-out disco and humid African rhythms, to horizontal jazz-funk and scratchy, dust-laden dub reggae. The result is a blazed, early morning classic in the making.
