Vlado dZihan, from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, was raised in a musical family and was known in the local scene as a drummer. He recorded music for the film Arizona Dream, starring Johnny Depp and Faye Dunaway. Mario Kamien, German-born and raised in Switzerland, met dZihan while they were studying in Vienna. Both were interested in traditional Arabic music and Trip hop , and combined their interests and musical backgrounds in the production of their first album, Freaks & Icons.

dZihan & Kamien pronounced (pronounced Jee-hahn and Kammy-en) are a downtempo house and acid jazz music duo based in Vienna, Austria. Their sound has been described as having "jazzy texture, trip-hop rhythms and Eastern ambience". Their first production single, Der Bauch, released in 1996 under the name MC Sultan, was popular in European clubs and was included on several compilations.

dZihan & Kamien's first debut album, Freaks & Icons, was released in 2000 on their label, Couch Records. The group followed their debut with two more albums, Refreaked in 2001 and Gran Riserva, with a more jazzy sound, in 2002. All three albums were released in the U.S. under the label of Six Degrees Records.

Sweetback - Stage2 - 2004

Sweetback -Sweetback - 1996

Original Release Date: October 15, 1996
Label: Epic
Copyright: 1996 Sony Music Entertainment Inc.
Genres: Soul, Jazz, Pop, R&B
Style: Soul, Urban

Sweetback is an English musical group made up of members of the band Sade, not including the lead singer Sade Adu herself. They are a jazz/funk band with R&B overtones. Stuart Matthewman, Paul Spencer Denman and Andrew Hale had been recording with female vocalist Sade Adu since 1984. The group Sweetback began in 1994 at the end of Sade's Love Deluxe world tour. Their albums feature a host of guest vocalists such as Amel Larrieux, Maxwell, Bahamadia and El Debarge just to name a few.
--------------------------------------

La antigua banda habitual de nada menos que de Sade Adu, integrada por Stuart Matthewman (guitarra y saxo), Andrew Hale (teclados) y Paul S. Denman (bajo), se lanza en solitario bajo el nombre de Sweetback ofreciéndonos este su primer trabajo del mismo nombre (Sweetback, 1996). Nadie espere encontrar en este disco una especie de continuación del trabajo anterior del grupo, algo así como un "Sade sin Sade"... el sonido de su grupo en solitario en ningún caso es el mismo que cuando se limitaba a acompañar a Sade. Así, en este disco cargado de colaboraciones (Maxwell en Softly Softly, Amel Larrieux de Groove Theory en Gaze y en el tema estrella del disco, You Will Rise...) se deja ver la inquietud personal del trío, con sonidos marcadamente experimentales y con un cierto aire Drum & Bass más o menos evidente en casi todos los temas del mismo.

Estoy convencido que hay muchos discos de trip-hop que han envejecido de forma estupenda, y ese es el caso de Sweetback, que, aunque sea tangencialmente, está ligado a dicho género.

Members

• Stuart Matthewman (guitar, saxophone)
• Paul Spencer Denman (bass)
• Andrew Hale (piano, keyboards)

Federico Aubele - Gran Hotel Buenos Aires - 2004

Artist: Federico Aubele
Title: Gran Hotel Buenos Aires
Original Release Date: February 24, 2004
Label: Eighteenth Street Lounge

Argentinian electronic musician Federico Aubele made a wise choice when he first approached Rob Garza and Eric Hilton with a demo. The twin heads of Eighteenth Street Lounge Music, also collectively known as Thievery Corporation, saw something of themselves in his work. It's a fusion of music without boundaries, beat-driven without once falling into cliche, carried by gentle, reverberant vocals. So what if the words are in Spanish. That's all the more appropriate given Aubele's origins, both musical and personal. The lyrics touch on feelings, memories, relationships, and culture.

Several musical themes emerge throughout the recording. Aubele's guitar is omnipresent, usually fueling grooves with repeated vamps but also rippling and providing off-center accents. The vocals, with few exceptions, feel honey-sweet and warm. This is music for romance, no doubt about it. Flamenco, tango, reggae, dub, and other less easily-recognizable styles intermingle, whether through reverberant echoing afterbeats, Latin-inflected hip-hop, gentle bandoneon-infused folk, Flamencoed electro, or thickly textured synth/percussion grooves.

Aubele mixes up the vocalists on this record—Sumaia, Gabriela Maiaru, La Susi—in order to provide variety and reinforce a sense that the disc is winding along a musical journey. Sumaia, who opens and closes the record, has a breathy delivery and floats effortlessly up into the higher register. The sing-song melody of "Ante Tus Ojos" ("Before Your Eyes") is an appropriate counterpart for reggae-tinged keyboard and guitar accents, a bright welcome to Gran Hotel. She transports into jazz diva territory on "Besos De Sal," gliding smoothly along the countours of the song. Gabriela Maiaru sounds like she's half there on "Postales," wisping along in a dream state on "Esta Noche" and tranforming a sense of melancholy to discovery on "Contigo."

Aubele himself sings on "Salvacion." He's not a virtuoso in any sense of the word, but there's something about his fragility and understatement that serves the song. It seems like he's explicitly reminding you of his folk roots (stereo guitars peacefully stepping along), emphasizing the organic feel that informs his music, and emerging as a humble, grounded artist.

Gran Hotel goes down easy and never demands close listening. That doesn't subtract from its impact, subtle and sweet as it may be. Friendly music with soul most definitely has a welcome place in the gritty world of contemporary electronica.

Released: 24 Sep 2002
Genre: Electronic
Style: Dub, Downtempo, Ambient

This CD features Scandinavian ambient/chill music from Stockholm, Sweden. The writer/producer, Stefan Lundaahl, has really served up a great selection of sensous, high latitude dreamscapes, ideal for the autumn into winter season. The tracks are deliciously slow, but have a definite rhythm to them, and each one has a different view to offer. There are some vocal treatments by Linda Martio, and other guests, which only enhance the dreamy quality of the music. To get an idea of the spaces created here listen to track 1 (Underdub) or 3 (Sunbathdub). I've been playing both on the airwaves in Alaska, and listeners keep calling in to find out more about the music. Definitely a good sign. (By Guardian of the Zen Sea "Indigo")
