Citrona Recordings is proud to bring you - M O N T A - and their debut EP "Message From Istanbul"
Dedric Moore and Delaney Moore aka Monta
"Blunted beats, music for cinema, source of soul,
beautiful landscapes, dubby-broken beats,
futuristic voices..."Monta's distinct sound envelops
the listener with a backwash of atmosphere as
organic layers swirl from ear to ear.
Their music is a story of brothers working it out as
brothers do best. The pair has been producing together
for six years with a design to share their passion for dub,
jazz and abstract funk. Monta has set out on a mission
to explore these ideas further with the thought that
everything is open for inclusion in their musical collection.
Monta has also set a goal to ignore the urge to only
"move the dancefloor" and make music that moves the
body and the intellect.
Monta "Message" EP
CAT CIT04
A1. "Message From Istanbul" (Greg Long remix)
Greg takes the delightful dirty original, polishes it up and lifts this groove about 120 bpm into a bed of afro-beat
funk sure to get any floor warmed upped. Driven mostly by rhythm, the bass leads
way into a jazzy break followed by a never ending funky guitar,
a bed of percussion and Greg's signature of aggressive Rhodes stabs.
A2. "Message From Istanbul" (Original mix)
The original mix is a dark-sophisticated downtempo number we like to call spy-jazz.
Monta's blunted beats carry the listener into the smoky sound of dangerous seduction.
Live sax played by John Aldrich and double agent basslines played by Dedric Moore of Monta
lay over top distorted drums and percussion.
B1. "On The Fly " (Lars Behrenroth Dark rework)
Lars pumps up "On the Fly" by turning a beautiful downtempo original into
a steaming hot broken-beat monster. Staying true to the original mix in the most obvious way of Monta's
signature distortion Lar's laces this remix with uplifting organ melodies, dark keys and a
massive amount of added drums and percussion. This is no doubt a prime -time dance floor burner.
B2. "On The Fly" (Original mix)
Recalling the days of acid jazz this is a seriously original downtempo
piece with a psychedelic flare sure to evoke many emotions from it's listeners.
A strong rolling bassline surrounded by blunted beats and spacey
distorted keys create a dark mysterious soundscape.
A truly unique work of art.
