LOWLIFE

Soul Jazz’s very own in-house electronic disco group Subway return with their first full length album since 2005’s ‘Empty Head’ set. The list of equipment used to fashion this album includes an enviable roll call of Roland Jupiter 6, Korg MS20, Univox SR55, Roland MKS80, and a Moog Prodigy alongside the usual guitars, drums and tape loops proving that these guys are a fully analog outfit. there’s no radical departure from their previous sound, sticking to what they do best with intuitive dancefloor jams and spacey head-music sounding like they could have come from any point between the late 70’s and today with elements of NYC avant-disco, Krautrock, German electronics, Radiophonic ephemera and proto house sculpted into a unique sound. The cover art also completely looks the part.

Nite Jewel is the performing moniker of Ramona Gonzalez and is the remarkable combination of Bronx pop and hazy experimental electronica. Like her ex-pop peers, Ariel Rosenberg and Geneva Jacuzzi, she records solely on portable 8-track cassette deck, often composing her songs by layered tape edits. This track was also featured on the new Milky Disco comp, ‘Let’s Go Freak Out’.
