with Burdy, one half of Baby Mammoth. He's one of the kindest,
most real individuals that I've ever worked with.Oh yea,my name

>The Return of Quango; Seminal Grooves Label Returns With Full Slate of
>Releases in 2001
>
> NEW YORK -- March 13, 2001-- Palm Pictures and Quango Music Group
>announced a joint venture to relaunch the Quango label. A new slate of
>compilations are set to be released in 2001.
> The story of Quango begins with a battered mix tape made by Bruno
>Guez that fell into the hands of Chris Blackwell, founder of Island
>Records and Palm Pictures. The forward-thinking global grooves that
>scratched their way through the speakers inspired an imprint deal for
>Quango via the Island label from 1995 through 1997.
> The vision for Quango was created by Bruno Guez, the popular Los
>Angeles-based DJ, producer and tastemaker. Guez was joined by Jason
>Bentley (KCRW/KROQ DJ) to create the Quango aesthetic via compilations
>and artist albums that are widely acknowledged as being ahead of their
time.
> Releases included the first Kruder and Dorfmeister EP and Talvin
>Singh's Anokha. Compilations included Quango Abstract Vibes, Quango
>World Groove and the Journey Into Ambient Groove series. In all, some 28
>titles were released through Island featuring early tracks by the likes
>of Tricky, Sneaker Pimps and Basement Jaxx, among many others.
> Fast-forward to 2001. Bruno Guez and Chris Blackwell have again
>teamed up. Guez has compiled a series of releases that further push the
>notion of a global future sound. Featuring tracks from a combination of
>now-known (Jazzanova, Fila Brazilia, Tosca) and soon-to-be-known artists
>(The Funky Lowlives, Radar, Kaidi Tatham), Quango continues to be on the
>leading edge of global culture.
> Quango is also developing a new, fully featured Web site to be
>launched this spring at www.quango.com. In addition to information on
>the label and artists, the site will feature a Quango radio module, a
>lifestyle section with city-by-city culture guides and a global products
>marketplace.
> Quango will continue to introduce new artists that cross boundaries
>and push the envelope of progressive global culture, Guez commented. I
>am thrilled to be working with Chris Blackwell again, who saw my vision
>from the very beginning.
> I am very excited to be relaunching the Quango label with Bruno Guez,
>said Blackwell. We introduced the label first a few years ago when I was
>at Island, and in a very short time Quango created a following for their
>beautifully structured musical soundscapes.
> The six Quango compilations slated for release this year are:
> ° Quango Cosmic Funk -- London's most modern hybrid of dance music
>fused with modern soul, featuring The Funky Lowlives, Neon Phusion, New
>Sector Movements and more.
> ° Quango Mystic Groove -- A downtempo excursion into the Asian
>underground, featuring dZihan & Kamien, Nitin Sawney, Najma, Stoppa &
>Nobby and more.
> ° Quango Brazilified -- Where Brazilian rhythms collide with club
>culture, featuring Jazzanova, Mr. Gone, Da Lata and more.
> ° Quango Space Jazz -- A downtempo excursion of trip hop, jazz and
>rock, featuring Tosca, Akasha, Love TKO and more.
> ° Quango Dub Selector -- A contemporary look into modern dub by
>electronic artists, featuring Groove Corp, Seven Dub, Keiser Volten and
>more.
> ° Quango Lush Life Electronica -- Hybrids in ambient electronic music
>to chill to, featuring John Beltram, Move D, Soul Circuit and more.
