Dego & The 2000 Black Family - Find A Way

  • Share
  • 4hero's Dennis "Dego" McFarlane's relationship with Verona label Neroli dates back to 2001 with the four stark bass music records he recorded for the imprint as Nutmeg. This release, however, finds him exploring jazz/soul/electronica under the name Dego & The 2000 Black Family. Opener "Find A Way" is the obvious standout, building brightly with several minutes of jaunty bass, piano and light synth effects before the appearance of a euphoric, classically soulful harmonised vocal from Akwasi and Kaidi Tatham, which should see the track safely into in a multitude of record bags. "Sunshine" features a sweet and smooth vocal from broken beat's guest singer of choice, Bembe Segue. A gloomy bassline and percussion provide a minimal and unobtrusive framework for her voice to flourish in true smoky basement club style. "The Hurt" is the EP's only instrumental and falls more on the electronic side, with intertwining synth lines and drum patterns swaying gently around each other. All in all, a laid-back treat.
