STEVE SPACEK Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Well Curated is a series of releases and parties that - in its own words - "reflects the ethnomusicology of the last 50 years of music" - and aims to reach into all genres, merging classic styles and breaking down barriers. Steve Spacek occupies the A-side with the breezy broken beat and soul-in-space of 'Alone In Da Sun', while Lukid's 'Hair Of The Dog' is a more intense counterpart, with wobbling sub-bass and swirling, surging atmospherics hovering above.

Review: Steve Spacek, the acclaimed voice behind the ground-breaking genre-pushing group Spacek, who were championed by everyone from Entertainment Weekly to Mos Def, presents his debut solo album. It's his great American album, produced largely in Los Angeles. Old partner Morgan from Spacek provided a few beats and J Dilla produced the monster "Dollar", but the bulk of the beats were created by Steve. The legendary songwriter Leon Ware also makes a guest appearance in the brilliant duet "Smoke". Future soul just got sexier.
