GOTTS STREET PARK – Diego E.P. – 12” – Vinyl [NOV 29]

12” EP – Limited Edition Black Vinyl. Only 500 copies pressed in this edition.

Following the burgeoning success of their debut album On The Inside, the UKs premiere hip-hop / soul / R&B collective getaround to a long-awaited vinyl release of their breakthrough DIEGO E.P.; a musical suite of instrumental songs formed from
the raw, live chemistry of congregating physically in a room. Turning their inspiration loose and escaping predictability, GSPdrew from the splicing techniques employed by Miles Davis Bitches Brew to create a series of moments isolated, assembled
and resampled, forming the illusion of one organic, fluid take.

A union of a sound exploring psychedelia and bedded in their familiar hip hop instrumentals; title track and single Diegoweaves a course through sturdy, meandering funkholds and snaking guitar riffs. Though there are no lyrics, the names of thesongs reveal a world inspired by film soundtracks. Second track Ozu is named after cult Japanese film director Yasujir Ozuand is, like his movies, engrossing, peaceful and oddly voyeuristic. EP bookend, Enzos Theme explicitly calls to mind a specific scene of a movie the tension-filled passage in The Godfather where Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) protects his fatherfrom assassins in hospital, with the assistance of Enzo The Baker (Gabriele Torrei).

Famed for their contemporary take on a retro sound, the trio comprising of Josh Crocker (bass, production), Tom Henry(keys) and Joe Harris (guitar) have garnered fans and notable acclaim from an impressive litany of talent. Their seamless
blend of traditional soul meets contemporary hip-hop has underpinned vocals from Rosie Lowe, Celeste, Pip Millett, Kali Uchis and Rachel Chinouriri to name but a few..
