‘LUST’ – ‘a deliciously sinful feast of sexy beats selected by Joey Negro…and fused with the stylish erotic images of Jonas Larsson.
Following the massive success of the debut LUST album, compiled by
Master At Work Louie Vega, suSU are now delighted to announce that ‘all
things dance’ music connoisseur, production wizard and remix
extraordinaire Joey Negro (aka Dave Lee, Jakatta, Akabu, Raven Maize, Z
Factor, The Sunburst Band etc) is supplying the soundtrack for the
follow up album.
The LUST theme is threaded and has been
inspired by Swedish born artist Jonas Larsson who is fast becoming one
of the acclaimed names of the visual arts fraternity. Jonas’ tastefully
erotic images combine conceptual imagery with textual prose. His unique
blend of digitally enhanced monochrome photographs of the female form
are then tinged with hand daubed paint and they caused a sensation when
they were showcased as part of the ‘Off the Record’ series at ArtSpace
Gallery in London last April.
The images from the ’Off the
Record’ series provide the exclusive artwork for the LUST albums and a
source of inspiration for the DJ compiling them. Following Louie Vega’s
New York inspired first edition, Joey Negro has now picked up the
baton, supplying two orgasmic mixes of sexy soul, funk disco, acid
house, future club classics, exclusive re-edits, house anthems, current
dance-floor fillers and unreleased world exclusives.
As a DJ
he strives to reflect his extensive love of a massive variety of
quality music by playing the kind of eclectic and mind-blowing sets
that showcase the many edits and updates of tracks he’s become famous
for. The real skill of Joey Negro though, lies in his ability to make
these tracks mix-in seamlessly and stand alongside the very freshest
cuts as it is demonstrated on the LUST album. Who else can mix into
perfection Fela Kuti’s afro beat into Henrik Schwarz’s deep techy
grooves?
The first disc effortlessly drifts from funk and disco
(Plantlife, Atmosfear) to deep tech house (Larry Heard, Bas Noir) into
brand new cuts from Joey Negro’s alter ego, Dave Lee with ‘Latronica’
and then onto the brilliant Pete Heller remix of Underworld’s new
single ‘Crocodile’ where the mix climaxes. The second disc is less of a
mix and more of a blend of late night / early morning wind-down nuggets
from deep in the crates that range from 4 Hero and Nova Fronteira to
Chic, The Sunburst Band and then onto Clara Hill and the Alessi
Brothers.
LUST again leaves the opposition standing, recognising
that graphics and music can feed off each other, creating the perfect
synergy between erotic imagery and the breathless sexual energy that
epitomises the best dance music.
