Last Nubian joins the ranks of Eglo Records with his 'We Celebrate Us' EP, a love letter to London and it's diasporic community of musical creators, innovators and celebrators. The EP is a soul filled, jazzed out affair, flirting with moments of deep and dubby House, skipping Broken Beat and bumping UKG. Last Nubian's production continues the legacy of Underground, Black British Dance music, furthering the sonic conversation that grew out of Jamaican Soundsystem Culture, spilling onto the streets of London and bouncing between cities like Detroit, Chicago and New York. Culminating in a dynamic array of sounds, all of which can be found woven deep into the fabric of this EP.On 'We Celebrate Us' the Brixton based producer is joined by a talented cast of collaborators and vocalists, adding emotive vocal tones and inspired poetic verses. Across three original tracks and two deep, exploratory remixes, the producer evokes tones of West London's notorious Broken Beat scene, the uplifting party grooves of Soul II Soul, the acidic bounce of Larry Heard and the deeply personal, reflective words of Linton Kwesi Johnson.On EP opener 'Black' the groove is in full force, jazz out, syncopated and rich in it's musical musings. Warm chords and a rich B-line carry us through the groove until the flute takes over and ascends into a heavenly cacophony of sounds. The vibes go deep on bouncing House groover 'Desolate Place', allowing vocalist Queen Sherine to get introspective and deep with her lush, velvet tones and on 'Intertwined Cultures' poet Akeem delivers an ode to the magic of Notting Hill carnival, perhaps the true inspiration of the whole EP. Nothing could sum up the spirit of the record better than the words of Haseeb Iqbal on 'Haseebs' Interlude', an eloquent poem, dedicated to this wonderful, sprawling city, and the energy it brings to the world, beautiful synthesized through the hands of Last Nubian.Tracklisting:A1.
