Album: Rennie Foster - Blood Sugar

Rebirth (MySpace page) are elevating another underground artist with niche capabilities, Rennie Foster. Previous to this, the label established itself in 2006 by Shield and has since released the stirring 'Finest Dream' by And If with the awe-inspiring Martin Luther King speech as a reminder of the power of music and politics together. This below is the Will Pezzetti mix.


And if - Finest dream (Will Pizzetti Freedom Edit) by DJ Will Pizzetti

Another indication as to what Rebirth has brought forth is a melancholic number by NUfrequency with vocals by Shara Nelson of the 'Unfinished Sympathy' legacy, with a video that resembles that of Massive Attack's. Strange choice? This below is remixed by Charles Webber.



And now Rennie Foster releases an epic album this week entitled Blood Sugar. It moves from track one, 'Invoke', which deploys random and offset beats that play against a demanding backing track accompanied by satisfyingly innapropriate piano use; to tracks that employ a minimalistic take on house, such as 'Your Eyes', 'Vital Organ' and 'Roughshod'. There is an erratic use of live instrumentation throughout the album, which complements an overall distortedly picturesque take on electronic music. The newsicmoos stand out track is handed to 'Afrocentrik', posted below.

Enjoy.



Released: 15th June 2010
Label: Rebirth
