Diesler - Tie Breakers

Posted a track from this a few weeks ago. Well, now the album has finally come out and I am pleased to say it is one of the most enjoyable listens of 2010. Uplifting and enjoyable Music from start to finish. Here’s my favourite track from the album - ‘Panther Sneer’ featuring the brilliant Double yellow.

Tie Breakers encompasses elements of nu-jazz, funk, hip-hop and electronica. Imagine the wild offspring of the more recent Mr Scruff material and the infectious horn and rhythm stylings of Quantic - then you’d be getting closer. But, comparisons aside, the UK’s Diesler (AKA: Jonathan Radford) has managed to strike a golden balance between amazing instrumentation and dancefloor rhythms. Incredibly well constructed tracks that would be just at home on your headphones as they would in a club.

With a blend of instrumental and accompanied tracks, Tie Breakers features vocal contributions from Laura Vane (The Streets, MJ Cole, Laura Vane & The Vipertones), Double Yellow, Stee Downes (Sonar Kollectiv), Linda Bloemhard (Kraak & Smaak, The Jazzinvaders) and Stockholm’s Carloline Ekstrom.
