raw artistic soul - you got rhythm too

13.4.2007 von mk.

Quite some time has passed since GOGO Music unleashed the worldwide acclaimed debut album of Raw Artistic Soul “What About Love” and moved the global world music-scene, Deep house, Freestyle and Afrobeat music fraternities alike. Fresh for 2007 Phil Kullmann delivers an outstanding rich tapestry of dancefloor-grooves with his second album “You Got Rhythm Too”.
Raw Artistic Soul music lifts borders between genres and has a unique defined sound, drawing from fat house-beats, timeless good funk, warm soul, driving afrobeats, virtuous jazz vibes and skillful deep song intimacy. With a musical horizon and background to send the average beat-hobbyist pale, top-percussionist, remixer and producer from Cologne, Phil Kullmann has set another distinct exclamation mark on the music scene. Having previously gained so much respect around the globe, Phil’s work has been championed by the international dancefloor-elite including Osunlade, Kenny Dope, Dimitri from Paris, Karizma, Bobby & Steve, Franck Roger, DJ Deep, Roger Sanchez and more. Alongside his long-term musical partner Michael “Nivalito” Ehnes, Kullmann delivers an impressive broadside on “You Got Rhythm Too” sporting a superb playing team of musicians including Domingo Patricio on flute, Flamenco-wunderkind Rafaél Cortes on Accoustic-Guitar, Patrick Wieland on E-Guitar, Lillo Scrimali on the Accordion and Christoph Titz on Trumpet and Flugelhorn, as well as some illustrious guests on vocals.
Brilliant drum-programming, very soulful arrangements, jazz-coloured soundscapes, crisp substantial percussive layers topped off with live strings build the perfect platform for guest-appearances. Vocalist include:
Masters At Work approved vocal Icon Wunmi who features on the acclaimed single “Oya O”, the US-Exceptional Poet Ursula Rucker whose brilliance can be heard on “The Light” and regular cohort and Cuban vocalist Edisney Portales Vega on “Pa La Loma”. The album also features the new Raw Artistic Soul discovery, John Gibbons, a folk/soul vocalist who is featured on the current soulful smash “Keep On Shining” which recently hit number #1 on the ultra-credible download-platform Traxsource within shortest time. John is also featured on the closing track “In Their Eyes”. “You Got Rhythm Too” also features a fantastic selection of instrumental tracks, including last years disco/jazz fused WMC hit “Miami Theme”, the very funky “Zaab” which oozes succulent brass stabs with a smattering of Scat vocals, the beautiful sun-drenched “Bayahibe” laced with pretty Accordion, Abanico featuring outstanding flamenco guitars.
