Goodge - Echoes Of Yesterday (LP, Cassette)

Cold Busted is pleased to welcome Goodge to the label's roster of esteemed beat-makers with his soul-stirring 12-track album, Echoes of Yesterday. Hailing from England's High Wycombe, Goodge has been dedicated to hip hop practically his entire life, later incorporating the sounds of funk, R&B, jazz, and chilled lo-fi to his internal repertoire. After assorted releases on France's Cascade Records, Hip Dozer, Kicker Records, and Italy's Sound Exhibitions, Goodge slides on over to Cold Busted to unleash a nostalgic trip inspired by memories of classic tracks and vibes.Goodge's jazz-funk dreamscape is sonically interpreted through the grooves in tracks like "Heart of the City." Here, cool electric piano keys, a snazzy saxophone, and scratchy guitar are buoyed by an uptempo drum track that transmits a cool inner city feel. "Follow the Groove" shifts the tempo to the down-low, as spring-reverb beats, wah-wah guitar squeals, crafty key riffs, and get-hip-to-it horns lay into a serious jam
