As my Facebook of October 21st 2020 read : “I’m really very proud of this, a beautiful piece of music. Of course, it helps to play alongside a couple of virtuoso musicians in Danae Greenfield (keys) and Preben Raunsbjerg (viking axe). But the real mastermind behind this was Umz Lau,[…]

deliBass – Soul Beats Vol 1

Soul Beats Vol 1

Soul Beats Vol 1 – 5 track mix. The first volume of Soul Beats was released in September 2020, featuring Toronto-based keys virtuoso, Jonny Tobin. We were pretty excited about this one. It was Umz’s concept and we started, as usual, with drums, samples and bass. But I don’t think[…]

deliBass – Moonflowers

Moonflowers

Moonflowers was the first deliBass track to feature Jonny Tobin on keys. It’s a real lazy lilter with some beautifully mellow keyboards juxtaposed to a fat and laid back bass. Came out in the middle of a prolific period for deliBass, ironically, during Covid lockdown, August 2020.

deliBass – Into Our World

This is our Bond theme! The track was originally recorded and co-written with Mandy Meadows. But years later we have given it a whole new lease of life, adding a second vocal, sung by Ruva, and a second keyboard track, by Danae Greenfield. It’s a track with lots of space,[…]

Tough To Love ep

New release on May 1st 2020, mid-Covid lockdown. A very strange time to be alive, but thanks to the powers of technology, a productive period for deliBass. The ep contains 3 tracks, Tough To Love, Is There Anybody Here and Cynic. 7 parts political ranting, 3 parts slush, thinly disguised[…]

deliBass – Roll ’em

Roll 'em

Another new deliBass track for you. This one is a little on the muso side! … Really beautiful guitar and keys from Preben Raunsbjerg and Alexander Nettelbeck respectively, plus a touch of silk from Ruva Ngwenya on vocals. Thanks again, of course, to deliBass partner, Umz, for all his talent,[…]

deliBass – Get Back Home

Get Back Home

Another track from the deliBass project, again featuring a great vocal from Ruva. This one was inspired by the time spent away from my family in 2018 – 2019 and an assist must go to Lulu (5) for the lyric. Get Back Home – released October 2019.
