After a year focused on live events, parties and festivals, Dragonfly’s revived chill-out label, Liquid Sound are kicking off 2006 with the release of a wonderfully uplifting debut album from Kuba. Sprinkled with a host of musical influences, Inside Out is a smooth and elevating musical journey. Like manna from heaven… Liquid Sound expands on its popular compilation series with the second release of a contributor’s debut solo album. Like fellow rising star Abakus, Kuba has honed his sound collaborating with Youth & Humphrey Bacchus on tracks for Mana Medicine as well as a string of international collaborations. Sharply finished by Crowded House & Embrace producer, Youth, this radiant album mixes ethnic and natural rhythms with lilting melodies. Infused with silvery guitar strains, orchestral synths and vocal samples, the result is a diverse array of spacious landscapes, cheeky twinkles and Dub delights for the imagination to float through.
This debut album, Inside Out has already received great interest, gaining airplay on Radio 1 as well as Ministry's chill out show. The first Kuba track released on Zulu Lounge Records went to number 1 in a Brazilian Chillout chart!
Building on this exposure and success, Laurence has done remixes for bands such as Suns of Arqa and Loose Juice among others. He has a refreshing versatility of styles in his sound repertoire, ranging from Dub, Electro, Latin, African and Acoustic Deep House to more upbeat dance related projects.
