Editor's review
Applied to jazz and electronica, "psychedelic" can suggest all sorts of nasty things, but none of them apply to this Belgian DJ/producer's sweeping collages. Combining elements of ambient (ethereal vibraphones, cool synths) with combo-style bass and shuffling drums, Borsu's tunes are psychedelic because they're organically conceived and all about the mind trip.
Biography
Musician, DJ & producer born in Liege, Belgium (1972)
I began practising guitar & bass in various jazz-funk & fusion bands in the late 80's & played in a band called AUM during the early 90's.
We were blending many influences from jazz to psychedelic rock,from dub to funk,from dance to eastern sounds with an electronic edge.
We self-produced two albums & performed with bands like Red Snapper,Future Loop Foundation ,Akasha & Zion Train amongst others.
Then I got involved more into electronic music (mainly House/Drum'n'Bass) and began composing on my own music.
My aim is to bring my love of Afro-American, Latin & electronic music in an organic, warm & soulful contemporary mix.
My first solo releases have been released on Counterpoint Records in the UK.
Last year I released Monster ep (12" single), followed this Summer by Reminiscent ep (12" singles). My first album will be released by Counterpoint Records in October 2005
I have also remixed tracks for Marc Moulin (Blue Note Records), Delugi (4Lux) & Perry Humes.
