Plastic City

With “Deepness Is Served” Jonathan Axelsson aka J. Axel delivers his first long player on Plastic City. The eleven tracks on the album are a prefect display of soulful and slick productions ranging between house music and beautiful downbeat affairs. A stunning journey through deep sound-scapes, tight & precise drums and unique arrangements. “You Give me Love” features vocals by Astrid Suryanto and a impressive sax-solo by Alex Van Heerden, it perfectly displays the mood of the album – true late night bar / dance vibes with jazzy rhodes, smooth bass-lines on top of sexy drums.“Deepness Is Served” is based on a super dope & laid back beat with sweet melodies and minor chords: cocktail joint blues. Just like the “Jazz On The 22nd Floor” down-tempo big city vibes.“This Time”, “Hiding” & “In A Distant Bar” are slightly up tempo house music tracks reminiscent of the cool Naked Music releases. Atmospheric, soulful and absolutely dance floor compatible. “It’s Right Here” & “Crowns On the Tower sound as if J. Axel was the unknown twin brother of the lounging Glenn Underground. Synthesizer layers, keen solos – clavinet style and organic. “Skywatcher” contains Hawaii style acoustic guitar chords underneath warm strings for truly intimate moments morph into a beautiful song structure with poetic qualities… this is beyond lounge music. “Magic Of Dusk” the most soul-esque tune on the album.. broken beats, sax licks, e-piano deepness, slick vocals. “Loveletters” is the most ambient song on the album.

This album was released in a limited edition on the label "Boheme" before (CD fomat only).
