DJ/Producer Alexander Lay-Far has cemented his status as a premier producer of infectious dance tracks. That being said, Jazz funk is at the root of his beginnings. Lay-Far Dance Orchestra’s debut “Skybreak” taps into his past. Backed by a band of premier musicians. They seamlessly fuse nu-soul and jazz rhythms over a relentless groove. The opener, “Take Flight Pt 1” cruises along a steady groove providing a canvas for breezy flute melodies from Timur Nekrasov. “Where You From” features funky guitar licks from Lay-far. Maxim Glonti provides infectious piano grooves that will fill a dance floor. “Take Flight Pt 2” dives into a deeper cosmic groove, Glonti’s electric keys brim with warm tones Lay-far has assembled a tight band that delivers from the start. If they’re performing in your neighbourhood then do go see them. A marvellous LP that ensures a funky good time.
