“Kick-style drums with beautiful funk, jazz and soul flavours — a proper Nu-Jazz gem.”
Why I Stock This Record
This is a Jazz / Nu-Jazz great from Session Victim. The standout track for me is “Walk In The Park”, which I regularly play myself for its kick-style drums combined with elements of funk, jazz and soul.
It’s got a really nice laid-back yet groovy feel that works brilliantly both for listening and in deeper parts of a set. The whole record has a warm, musical quality that sets it apart from a lot of modern Nu-Jazz.
If you’re into Jazz, Nu-Jazz or records with real musicality and groove, this Night Time Stories release is a must-have for vinyl collectors and DJs alike. Clean copy and plays strong every time.
Review
German pair Session Victim have long been invigorating the deep hose scene with their rare musical skill. They have managed to imbue their sounds with elements of funk, jazz and soul while keeping their grooves fresh and stylish. Their fifth studio album Low Key, Low Pressure is "an anathema to today's fast paced, industry driven musical landscape" in that it is sophisticate and unhurried, not full of obvious singles but instead a coherent body of work that really excels as a long player - not something that can be said of much of today's disposable, Spotify-ready dance music. Across the ten tunes there's a lovely cover, a fine collab with occasional partner Carsten "Erobique" Meyer and playful sounds a plenty.
