TRACKLIST & RELEASE NOTES
1) Old Town Interlude feat (DJ Pha5e)
duration (00:00:10) 0-10 seconds.
This introduction is the opening musical composition of the Sounds to Lift Fog album. As narrator, Dj Phase, of Norway, brings the listener into the feeling of movements within the upcoming audio journey.
2) Good Day to Start
duration (00:01:40) 1 minute 40 seconds. .10 to 1.51
w+p by Lurob
p/b Lurob
This opening track is a "fog city" inspired groove that pays tribute to a sound reminiscent of the early 90's industrial parties throughout the bay. Bordering the Pacific, the San Francisco bay area is home to the natural occurrence of fog in its full Glory. Simple sounds of piano jabs and bass line shuffles define this tune, keeping it light and welcoming.
3) Hot City Melts
duration (00:02:03) start 1.51 to end 3.53
p/b Lurob
w+p by Lurob Feat Gonzo Gonzo, Luisjo, and Rodrigo
Made during a Guatemalan thunder storm, this track surely settles the soul. With its live vocals and guitar licks from Rodrigo and cool synthesizer workings by Gonzo Gonzo of Guatemalan decent, this song was recoded by a live band that was set together to create and place accent on abstract notes along side live vinyl scratching. Layered by Luisjo, these scratches ultimately create a cohesive trip hop texture.
4) Belgian Rain
duration (00:02:30) start 3.53 end 6.23
w+p by Lurob and Flapjackers courtesy of voluptuous recordings / publishing by Lurob
With heavy bass lines and sultry Belgian inspired horns, this one is a beat with solid presence and stability. International hip hop and jazz trends collide as this track is laced with class.
5) WIr Kieffen
duration (00:02:11) start 6.23 end 8.34
w+p by Lurob, Roman Lechner, Acie, Andi Malanders
Made during the thick snow storms of a Bavarian winter, this tune is centered on the downtempo vibe. Through the teamwork of several friends, the theme of acid jazz mixed with hip hop inflections was the main concept for this production. All UKMOWY team members chip in on the creation of this communal effort.
6) Ethiopian Jazz Moment
duration (00:03:57) start 8.34 end 12.27
w+p by Lurob
Subtle hints of historical narrative flow through the opening of this tune. Ethiopian jazz is the main subject defined here as the album begins to turn a up a notch in tempo. This is a musical style known for hypnotic rhythms and undulating undertones.
7) Misery Pie
duration (00:02:04) start 12.27 end 14.31
w+p Gryffyn
remixed by Lurob & Le Babar
An ironic title for a song which celebrates happiness. With very smooth hints of jazz inspired vocal instrumentation, Misery Pie locks its listeners with the intensity of pounding Deep house and techno.
8) Hey You! V2
duration (00:03:16) start 14.31 end 17.47
w+p by Lurob and Dj Schwa, publishing by Lurob
This tune takes the album into a deeper realm. With its dark stabs and sexy female vocals, this track grabs the mind leaving you wanting more.
9) Lets Play Soccer
duration (00:04:13) start 17.47 end 22.34
w+p by Lurob
Live match noises come fully to the foreground on this track as samples from recent games drip in and out.
10) Juicy Popsicle
duration (00:05:26) start 22.34 end 28.00
w+p by Lurob and Laron, publishing by Lurob
The clean transitions and variety of this tune provide for a fresh breath from the typical four on the floor sound.
11) Lime In the Coconut
duration (00:03:40) start 28.00 end 31.40
w+p Lurob
Lurob brings it back to the basics with the warehouse sounds of old on this track. Timeless tones and musical ornamentations define the complexity of this rider of a tune.
12) Degrassi Street Mobb
duration (00:02:45) start 31.40 end 33.15
w+p by Lurob
Ripping tones and ghetto vocals appear with strength as they pop in and out of this techy number. Notions of urban city strife and street hustling are key elements to the make up of this production.
13) Acid and Renae
This tune brings the listener to a place of audio observatory analysis. Automation in filters and envelopes make this track move in and out and up and around itself.
14) These Thoughts
duration (00:04:57) start 39.24 end 44.31
w+p by Lurob & Tyrell Williams, Lurob publishing
As the final track on this original album, Lurob and Tyrell bring it on home as they speak live on the microphone. While sweet strings and acid bubbles travel along the mix, this tune grabs its audience with precision tone placement. A smooth way to glide into another set, this tunes wraps up the package with efficiency.
