Total Refreshment Centre - Transmissions From Total Refreshment Centre

All the best music has a community underneath it. The extended family around London's Total Refreshment Centre (TRC) connects continents and generations, creating the rich relationships in full effect on 'Transmissions From Total Refreshment Centre'. It's an eclectic and electric collection that draws from new school jazz, hip hop, dub, soul, funk, and drill: sounds you'll hear trailing out of cars as they spin up the Kingsland Road or spiraling out of doorways like so much smoke. Turn it up loud to hear the widescreen young cousins of Guru's landmark Jazzmatazz in full effect: top players from London, Chicago, and Melbourne seeking out new collaborations, new ways of working, or just new tunes, always coming back to that central truth - that we all need each other.
