Flashbaxx – Take Care My Friend

Vinyl LP pressing. Ever since he remixed Abimaro & The Free's 'Mark' back in 2014, NuNorthern Soul boss Phil Cooper has kept in touch with Daniel Stenger, the producer and self-taught multi-instrumentalist behind the Flashbaxx project. Cooper was always convinced that Sanger would be capable of crafting a very special release for the label but was willing to give him time to come up with something special. With Take Care My Friend, a mini-album inspired by the German producer's deeply rooted love of jazz-funk, Stenger has repaid the faith shown in him. He's delivered a collection of quality cuts marked out by audible warmth, effortless musicality and memorable, sun-soaked songs. Stenger indulges in a bit of New York daydreaming on 'Brooklyn Love Boat', a wonderfully musically detailed chunk of 1970s style jazz-funk heat that offers knowing nods to Roy Ayers, Herbie Hancock and the jazz-fusion stylings of Azymuth.
