Brukstep

This is one for the uptempo DJs with plenty of club bounce. Rhythmically a nod to my decade spend in the thick of the West London broken beat scene – alongside the likes of 4Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Domu and the like, ‘Brukstep’ is about bringing that UK two-step groove into the jazz vibe. It gives me a chance to stretch out on the grand piano, and Duane Eubanks plays a blazing trumpet solo. As on all of the album, I did almost all of the electronic manipulations, drum programming, sampling and effects live in studio as we performed all together. That’s an important part of the vibe to me – that the electronic elements are as spontaneous and organic as the acoustic ones.
