Floating

Presto from San Diego has consistently stayed true to his soul and jazz-inflected formula of ethereal beats over the years. He resurfaced recently from the beat lab with a new unreleased 10-track instrumental album – “Basement Beats” Two tracks from this album are presented here for Mukatsuku Records in a limited edition 7″ pressing of 400 only copies. “Official” stands out as a gritty drum loop which provides a bed for a melodic sample that sings as a soulful synth melody is played on the chorus by his daughter. “Floating” provides a smooth backdrop with programmed drums as Presto plays the wah-infused Rhodes piano along with Avatar on the bass guitar, giving a nod to their previous live fusion group Wayward Saints.
