His Boiler Room set is sick. Koreless that is.
downloading it now!
As we move into double figures for our mixtape series, we invite Glasgow based producer Koreless to join the growing list of talent. Taking a this is what Im listening to at the moment approach, he has delivered a smooth 40 minutes of Jazz for your listening pleasure.
We always say to DJs that they are welcome to mix whatever they want, however they want, ensuring that they have complete creative control over the mixtape and all-in-all making for a more forward thinking and varied series. Mixtape 011 is a great example of one of the unpredictable outcomes that this approach can have, with Koreless going on a Jazz vibe that makes for one of the greatest 40+ minutes of music listening to be posted on The Daily Street.
For those that dont know of Koreless, let me first say, you will do by the end of 2011, thats for sure! A truly original producer, Lewis (Koreless) is crafting his own niche through his unique sound of melodic Bass Music, having his debut release on Pictures Music, a very successful remix of Jacques Greene, a collab with Sampha in the pipelines (which is amazing by the way) and a forthcoming remix of Ghost Poet its fair to say that Lewis is causing some commotion in the scene. With his debut London booking being at Young Turks, the likes of Gilles Peterson predicting him to be the next James Blake or Ramadanman and a show at this years Outlook festival, it just seems like destiny that Koreless is going to be a household name in no time at all.
I suggest you sit back, make a cup of tea and take the next 40 minutes easy whilst listening to this fantastic mixture of music. A must download for sure.
What approach have you taken for this mix?
Its just a collection of old and new jazz (ish) that Ive been into lately.
Which track or mix is your personal favourite?
Favorite track would be Tribe What We need. Although if i could have got hold of the Roy Brookes verson of Eboness it would have been that hands down
Is style important to you?
Yeah definitely.
What brand(s) are you particularly feeling at the moment?
Really like the Trapstar tees and all of the SHhhh ones.
