“Five-piece skat pack DJazz .OrgOnite hook up with Timewarp Music for one of the more curious releases the Greek label has put out in sometime. Combining abstract jazz instrumentation with influences of soul, funk and hip hop, the group’s sound comes across as an oddball pairing of Mr Oizo & Ricardo Villalobos in an acoustic and electrified free jazz vibe. With touches of banjo added to “Nu-Frisco-Funk”, relax into flashes of New York lounge time through “Double ‘O Jazz”, Blaxploitation grooves of “Yo Sco” to the solo-centric “Duck Dis Drunk Dromedary”.
