The Q4 – Sound surroundings

The Q4 é um projecto constituido pelos produtores Arts The Beatdoctor, Sense e STW. Já este ano lançaram o excelente Sound surroundings, um álbum que nos traz downtempo, hip-hop e infusões no electro-jazz e na música soul. Os convidados são muitos, DJ Genaro nos scratches da introdução, Mick John-Hopkins no saxophone, Guido Maat no rhodes e Maciej Stachurski no violoncelo. Quanto a vozes convidadas, temos Curra Suarez, Pax, Terryman, Unorthadox e BLS. Daqui, as linhas seguintes:

"Out of the Netherlands, The Q4 mesh their differing production styles to create something of its own, comprising of Arts The Beatdoctor, Sense and STW, sampling hundreds of obscure records, stripping the samples to almost instrument status, the bare essentials, which when reassembled, create The Q4 sound, a multi-dimensional sound trip through the recesses of unknown films and forgotten soundtracks. Next level mood music, hints of jazz, latin, funk, soul immersed in the shell of hip hop, emanating a feel of real musicians playing in a real place, this is the mastery The Q4 achieve in the studio, the samples flow, the drums are not so tight that they feel artificial, vibes litter the soundscape bringing a very human element to the compositions. Of course it helps that they have some talented players to underpin the sample science, the glue if you like, this is what holds it all together."
