The title track of José “Jas” Álvarez’ debut album is a head boppin’ piece of funk, soulfully sang by the man who can, Mr. Xantoné Blacq, one of the many collaborators on the Soul Vigilantes longplayer. Background Noise gets the uptempo house treatment by Pablo Sánchez and Odnam (of Caracas funk outfit Los Amigos Invisibles), while French editmeister Pilooski takes the track on a hypnotical(ly) slow cosmic disco trip.Some background info:
Soul Vigilantes is a worldwide modern soul project leaded by spanish composer, arranger and producer Jose “Jas” Álvarez. The project started in 2004 with the song Shy, released as a 12” maxi-single. The track has since been included on many a compilation and got raving reviews.
