The Georgian Groove Essentials (Lesson 2)

from The Soviet Mixes (A Work In Progress) by DJ Scientist

/

about

Original Release Info from 2014:
Laid Back Radio proudly presents DJ Scientist second lesson in Soviet Groove mixes. This times he captured the music of the small country of Georgia.

Here’s what he says about the mix:
“The Georgian Groove Essentials” is my attempt to cover some of Georgia’s unique musical output from the 70s and 80s. I hope you enjoy the distinct Georgian flavour in the songs, mostly recognisable in the traditional rhythmic and melodic approaches in the vocals. Furthermore, Georgia’s pop music had strong influences from Jazz and Rock, and musicians from the small Caucasian country weren’t shy of using western compositions and adaptations on their, always state-controlled, albums. This amalgamation of styles makes it one of the most wonderful music relics from the Soviet era.

Also peep his upcoming album with Fulgeance on First Word Records which is based on Soviet samples only. A first single called “Moscow Nightlife” is already available.

Additional Info:
The mix solely features material that has been officially released on the Soviet state label Melodia. The artwork is an adapted version of VIA 75’s album “Для Тебя Живу, Грузия Моя” from 1984.

Special thanks to William, Jay, Natia and Sven Schneider.
