tra008 DJ Hen Boogie – Adore / 7″ vinyl

“Traveller Records have been putting out corking hip hop, downbeat records for a few years now and this release is not to be sniffed at either. A lush cover of “Summertime” leads this 7″ for me. It´s a very covered tune but I doubt you´ve heard it done in THIS fashion before. Super chilled beats for headz on side A´s “Adore” too with rhodes, jazz beats and jazz vocals… it all rides along nicely” – Jon Kennedy / Modart magazine No. 19

“I’m pleased to be able to share with you an exclusive track from Traveller Records of Finland, it’s by DJ Hen Boogie (of The Derelix fame) and features Kissey Asplund on vocals – the track is called Adore. Out now through Traveller Records on 7″, the B-side contains the track Summertime, featuring vocals from Jeni Fujita, whom you may recognise from her work with the Fugees. Adore is a solid, yet smooth, laid back track with tight beats and a sweet melody. Kissey Asplund’s vocals then serve to act as the proverbial cream over this fine dessert which DJ Hen Boogie has concocted. DJ Hen Boogie said himself that the collaboration with Kissey came about back when MySpace was slightly less of the ‘cesspool‘ it seems to have become. Kissey heard the beat to Adore on his page and proceeded to contact him with regards to laying some vocals over it. The rest, as they say, is history. So, see this as a little precursor (if you will) to the recent Kissey Asplund LP Plethora – and it is most definitely then worth getting your hands on this little 7″ (only) nugget!” - Juslikemusic.com

“Laidback & mellow as you like, this reminds me of Erykah Badu’s smokier moments.” - Recordmania
