about

Numero Group is a label that I've been a crazy huge fan of for a good long while now... They release everything from heavy, gritty and raw funk and deep soul albums and compilations to the lushest, warmest and bittersweetest Americana and acoustic music, with a huge area of musical terrain in between. Pretty much everything they've put out has hit me as a producer and as a ravenous, voracious listener.

They released a compilation around April 2017 called 'Private Yacht', which fell under their compilation series 'Seafaring Strangers', which draws together obscure artists in various contexts and provides a gorgeous selection of music that rapidly hits you as the best stuff you've probably never heard of... This one in particular is based around that unique style of what I guess you could call 'adult pop', a strangely addictive style of soft rock and pop that weaves together all kinds of musical influences but feels like a kind of bizzaro alternative to late 70's/early 80's chart music. Some of the tracks on the compilation struck me as being very much like what my Dad used to play in the car when I was a kid, so there's a nice, rich seam of nostalgia going on there too! Even thinking about Dire Straits can give me a little lump in my throat to this day... Anyway - a lot of the tracks actually bump pretty hard, and there are some really cool moments including some John Martyn-ish goodness, rare groove type situations and some sweet cosmic boogie scenes in there too.

Here I've taken a little selection of the compilation and made my own versions of the tracks, in a kind of non-stop beat-tape style, heavy on the heat and chops and focusing on certain elements of the tracks to extend them and make my own piece of work out of them. I very much hope you enjoy, and as a member of the yacht-less community (of which I'm led to believe there are many), this gave me a chance to vicariously feel that sea spray, that ocean lick and that salty breeze and for a moment, there I was, captain of my own vessel.

Sail with me won't ya, it's a proper headnodder of a cruise. You'll dig it.

Yo... This album is pure perfection. My only regret is not discovering this back when it was released but I'm overjoyed I found it recently. Detroit ambience for nocturnal heads... Buddy Peace

Drummachinemike is an absolute beast with the electronics, breathing life into machines and making them do all sorts... This album is a pure manifestation of that, and is highly recommended. Buddy Peace
