This is Comfort Fit’s long awaited first release on the Swedish Brandy label. On this seven track ep you will find a broad perspective of sounds and flavours ranging from hip hop, street soul, beats to nu- jazz, with excellent vocal contributions by Mercury Waters (Washington DC, spitkickers.com), Blaktroniks (Oakland California) and Nicole Hadfield (Groove Guerilla). These cripsy beats are ripe with thumping funk and jazz influences, sample wizardry and daring shuffles. Composed with the help of unique sound plugins which were especially programmed to measure Comfort Fit’s needs and wishes, we think the chances aren’t bad that you’ll fall for the unique sound signature, bounce and elegance of this tight hip hop production. Like the best mixtapes this thing plays even strongly as a whole - no matter if it’s about classic jazz impressions like Miles of Smiles, scarily deep intergalactic grooves as in Astro Dancin´or the hip hop bomb State of Mind, all the tracks are locked together closely.

The Never Look Back EP is more than just beat fodder for your next mixtape, “it’s a very personal diary of mine. I feel music is my natural form of expression, not words”, as Comfort Fit says. “It is very important for me to escape from the noise pollution of the cities and from the media hypes going on. I’d rather create my own”. This is the perfect record for the leftfield, opendminded dj´s and electronic music lovers.

Comfort Fit has been collecting synthesizers and records since a very young age, even though his first hip hop beats are only ten years old now. His influences are different than the usual jazz/ funk/ soul/ disco references most Hip hop producers name. Comfort Fit’s hip hop is not just rooted in his love for jazz and funk but especially in the techno of the early 90s. He decided to stop his dj career a few years ago in order to concentrate on the music production, but his dj perspective on music is still present in his beats. After all he’s been standing behind the turntables half of his life now, having gained his first club residency and radio experiences with merely 13 (!) years of age. Alot has changed in Comfort Fit’s life since his first album “Museum” was released on Megahertz Records 2001. But despite all the action he has managed to release some critically acclaimed EPs and the masterpiece “Forget and remember” LP via Tokyo Dawn Records (free download!) , as well as remixes for Universal Jazz and other labels. His music is now even being used in the commercials of a many corporation like Mercedes Benz, Chevrolet and Motorola. He is now releasing some new sonic-bombs on the labels swedish brandy, mental records and others.

 

Mercury Waters

Mercury Waters brings about a more personal and integrity marred sound. A product of the Washington D.C. metro area, Mercury Waters’ music can be best described as wizardry. A mixture of revealing and complex lyrical imagery, with a no holds barred, anything goes production theme. Crediting musical influences from swamp-water blues to modern jungle and broken beat rhythms, Mercury Waters paints pictures on a sound canvas too bright and bold to be denied. Making music since the age of 12, gives this 24 year old artist a keen, clearcut sense of what his vision should be. Music that makes you think, feel and become a part of it.

He is a published poet through www.poetry.com’s yearly anthology. Presented with the Editor’s Choice Award and chosen as one of the best poets of 2003. Also Mercury Waters is a featured artist on www.chrion-inc.com and was included on the second volume of The Alpha Project presented by www.alphabeats.com home of The Battle of the Beats.

They were looking for a singer so Nicole went for a short audition and the band knew for sure that she was the one they were looking for. This funk world was very new to her but she felt at home after a few months

and learned how to heat up the crowd and became a new born, power entertainer! During that year, the band decided to start writing and producing their own music and became familiar with the “Logic World” In summer 2000 Groove Guerrilla won the John Lennon Talent Award show with the first song they wrote called Broadway and after that never stopped creating their own sound.
