Here's a little taster from a new project by Othello, who you may or may not known from his work as part of the seriously underrated group Lightheaded.
O has hooked up with a DJ by the name of Vajra to release a 12" featuring current Stones Thrown big shot Mayer Hawthorne (performing under his alias, Haircut) and his old group Now On, which includez Jackson Perry and IX Lives.
The cut in question, entitled 'Active Balanced', has been given the remix treatment by Terry Cole, and is the first release from Othello and Vajra's upcoming album, The Required Taste. Cole employs some Vintage Dilla-like drums ('Let's Ride', anyone?) to drive the track, with the boom bap combining nicely with some jangling guitar chords and keys to give the track a nice, organic feel.
