oh man, i think you're totally on with the quincy jones reference... just
read up on degiorgio, that man knows his rhodes from his moogs - but really,
yeah, it's all in the nuance.
as for atjazz, i *think* it's a he, although that seems counterintuitive.
and just wait for the full-length - damn, it's good. but as for singles,
"touch the sun" can't even be touched. amazing.

Right on. I was turned on to Atjazz recently. Dope stuff ("Touch The
Sun").
It increases my interest in this 'Brokenbeat' thing.
Is Atjazz a he or a they? I thought Atjazz was a couple of producers.
Is it just me or do I sense a Quincy Jones (circa late 70s-early 80s)
influence with the brokenbeat sound? Not really with the beats, but the
funky analog synth bass, the ethereal strings/synth pads and the Rhodes
piano...
