035 – Greeen Linez

One of our finds of last year, Greeen Linez debut album, Things That Fade was exotic ray of retro-funk, disco ball reflected sunshine in very austere year of music. Coming in at the rather lofty position of 37 in our best albums of the year list, the placing reflected not just beautiful funk jams that made up the album, but some of the wonderful washed out sonic scapes and retro synth lines that made the listen far more dynamic than just a nostalgic funk odyssey.

The brilliant thing about crafting an album with a nod to this particular musical past is the myriad of influences that can come from this era. Like any act with influences from a bygone era the mix from Greeen Linez informs as well as entertains. On Greeen Linez’ Crack Mix the duo fire through funk, disco, slow jams and soulful moments, even making space for a bit of Goldie at the end. The mix marries the old and the new in a 23-track whirlwind that sounds as effortless as their music.
