Renowned New York City house music icon Joaquin Joe Claussell has embarked on an electrifying project of ecstatic, spiritual club music with his latest endeavour: a double album worth of reinterpretations of the music from Italian jazz master Nicola Conte's 2023 album 'Umoja'.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: Joe Claussell doesn't do things by halves. When he throws himself into a project we get so much content. Here he delves into the world of Italian jazz supremo Nicola Conte with staggering results. Giving most of the tracks a real Body & Soul house flavour; he adds to the rich instrumentation with lively percussion, frenetic bass lines and a palette so delicious you'll want to taste it. Spiritual house meets spiritual jazz - another masterpiece to add to the NYC veteran's catalogue.
