release description

The new album from Sweden's Beatfanatic (Dicey, Raw Fusion), his follow up to "Adventures in the World of No-FI Beats," which was released on CD only in Japan and Australia. A killer mix of dance tracks and Afro/Latin nujazz.

Beatfanatic has had tracks on mix CDs from Gilles Peterson, Ursula 1000, and Thievery Corp and his singles have gotten played by all the major nujazz deejays. Now with this new album, released on his own Soundscape label, he’s ready to show the world what he’s got. We think this is gonna be big.

The initial pressings of both the vinyl and CD will be limited editions with a free bonus disc. The double album comes with an extra bonus 12" EP with 5 extra cuts (for a total of 13) while the CD comes with a bonus CD with 8 extra tracks (a whole extra album!). The bonus discs will ONLY be available with the initial pressing (they will not be repressed or available separately afterwards). Due to licensing conflicts these bonus discs are not available to Australia or Japan.

press

“Very uplifting party album fusing all the right ingredients. I especially dig the boogie moments” — Rainer Truby

"riktigt grym" (that is "really awesome" in english) — Mad Mats (Raw Fusion)

“A frenzy of party-rocking beats and samples.” — XLR8R

"Good as expected!" — Mr. Scruff

“Very few artists can cut and re-edit the full spectrum of sounds with depth of soul and rhythm throughout. Beatfanatic is definitely one of them." — Amar Patel, Straight No Chaser (September 2005)

"A thrill-a-minute romp through the world of nifty-fingered sampleadelica...The Gospel is never less than riotously funky, thrillingly breathless and thoroughly enjoyable." — Matt Annis, I-DJ Magazine (July 2005)

“I love it. Beatfanatic has done a better record than his first heavyweight LP. This is going down a storm everywhere.” — Adrian Gibson (Jazz Cafe/Mean Fiddler)
