"And the beat goes om" is a work of strong catchy basslines, crisp
compressed beats and colourful cyber-squelch! Its mix of styles and
influences pays tribute a wide angle slice of musical genres that have
been aired, on the groovy side of mid-tempo, over the last few years J
In this, his debut album, Jonathan Smith (the Slack Baba himself)
introduces the un-initiated to his version of eventsc a melting pot of
fluid grooves and swirling psychedelic melodies, a touch of the ethnic
and some very respectable bottom frequency actionc
As one of a new generation of British psychedelic artists, Jonathan's
individual style has produced some memorable live sets; turning down
tempo audiences into full tribal stompers and delivering his
cross-boundary hybrid grooves with impunity. His music draws the
listener through a labyrinth of pulsing rhythms and mind-bending sonic
states, demonstrating his skills in sound manipulation and delivering
a new take on psychedelic electronica.
