Its not often i listen to a drum n bass album and like most of the songs in there. Well, let me introduce you ROSS-D and his mid 2009 album Musical D-lite (i know its almost a year old, but some of the tracks in the album are just timeless)
from the press release:Playloop Records recording artist and Philadelphia native Ross Dis bringing back that classic UK drum-n-bass sound of the mid-90’s golden age with his debut artist album, Musical D-lite . There are no fads here, no bells or whistles and no sub-sub-sub genres to confuse you by. No, this is simply drum-n-bass at it’s purest and most beautiful. No doubt the thick layers of jazz and soul will take you back in time to that time when you first heard licks from LTJ Bukem and his classic original Logical Progression compilation. Ross D has always been musically inclined, having an extensive music education background in drums, piano, classical guitar, bass and music theory. However, one thing you can’t teach is soul, and there’s nothing better than the kind of Philly soul Ross D deftly infuses over the jagged beats.
