Artist : Byron The Aquarius
Format : 2LP vinyls
Byron The Aquarius is no stranger to true music fans. In January this year he gathered his friend musicians in Atlanta for a few day session at Patchwerk Studios under Jeff Mills’ supervision. The result is a fantastic mix between Soulful House and Jazz Music with a touch of Blues.
Ambrosia was recorded at Patchwerk Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, during the start of 2020, with contributions from drummer Lil John Roberts, guitarists Sheldon Ferguson, Chocolat Costa and Sheldon Ferguson, flutist Rasheeda Ali, and trumpeter Dashill Smith. Ambrosia marks the second release as part of what Mills describes as Axis Records’ “new era”, which will see the label broadening its scope to include jazz, classical and soundtrack releases.
"The overall goal was to create something that bared the traits and signs that would catch the attention of a music lover. Someone that has danced themselves into a relationship with music that is unconditional and undeniable”. - Jeff Mills

Byron The Aquarius, connu notamment pour ses sorties sur Eglo Records (Fatima, Floating Points), Mutual Intentions (IvanAve, Fredfades...), navigue depuis longtemps dans les sphères house soulful et signe ici sa première sortie sur Axis Records en double vinyle. Le résultat est un fantastique mélange entre soulful house et jazz musique avec une touche de blues.
Ambrosia a été enregistré aux studios Patchwerk à Atlanta, en Géorgie, au début de l'année 2020, avec la participation du batteur Lil John Roberts, des guitaristes Sheldon Ferguson, Chocolat Costa et Sheldon Ferguson, du flûtiste Rasheeda Ali et du trompettiste Dashill Smith et sous la supervision de Jeff Mills.
