Hailing from Leeds London, Nubiyan Twist are a twelve member outfit comprised of musicians, DJs and producers respectively. Their seven track LP fuses Afro-beat, jazz and groove driven music. Vocalist Nubiya Brandon elevates the assortment of arrangements composed here. On “Turu” she waxes poetic over deep grooves and hip-hop flavored beats. “Figure Numatic” is a jazz infused funk gem filled with syncopated funk rhythms. “Shake Me Down” is filled with Afro-beat rhythms aligned with funky horns. A relatively new band with 4 years under their belt, It’s tantalizing to think what they’ll release for an encore.
