ReDuX:RMx: Listen-Buy

ReDuX:RMx is back with their second album, TWO.

Expanding on the world nu-jazz sound of their Volume 1 debut disc, TWO is world cinematic electronica.

Latin, Euro, funk, Eastern, Asian and Celtic influences are used to create eleven original tracks that transport the urban soul across the planet.

Eddie Paton on guitars and Archangel Menezes on keys sonically take you places with music that excites, soothes and moves. Bob Basa’s melodic bass drives all the tracks. Stylistically diverse guitar solos, vocal touches and an exotic array of world instruments and rhythms on TWO keep you listening. You can hear the influnences of ENIGMA, THE GIPSY KINGS and British Asian electronica on these tracks.

Cinematic in scope, the music on TWO puts you in the mood for anything you can imagine.

This debut CD by ReDuX:RMx is a potent blend of smooth, chilled jazz, a twist of Latin, and hints of world music. Think Miles Davis, Chick Corea and the Antonio Carlos Jobim-Sergio Mendez retro Brazilian sound. It’s all stirred in with trippy ambient electronica and urban beats. It’s the ST.GERMAIN, THIEVERY CORPORATION vibe of nu-jazz, acid jazz, remixed electronic jazz – but these tracks are original and performed live.

Infectious rhythms drive the electronic-jazz tracks on ReDuX: RMx Volume 1. No samples here - the loops and beats are played live by a collective of young Toronto jazz players. The catchy Latin, funk and cool jazz compositions are infused with urban rhythms, electronic elements and sound bytes in different languages – including a call to save Africa spoken in Swahili. They interweave each of the tracks, creating a nonstop, cosmopolitan atmosphere that will go straight to your head.
