Basic Soul Unit's "Motional Control" full length is just about to be released on Still Music! We've got some nice press for this amazing piece of House and Techno, check it below:
"The music… [Basic Soul Unit] makes today is raw, highly melodic and derivative without being unoriginal, referencing the practical and theoretical sides of his come up."
Stream the full album and read this great interview here
"Motional Response appeals to the listener on a somatic level with understatement, making it perennially fresh and engaging."
Check the full review here
"It's understating it to say that Motional Response is a collection of which both Li and Still Music can be proud. Quality and polish are just two of the words that come to mind in reference to this consistently excellent recording."
Check the full review here"It may have taken nearly a decade to arrive, but Motional Response is everything a debut album should be. Apart from constituting both an enthralling home-listener and a DJ’s delight (seriously, just pick any track, they’ll all work), it’s true to the established BSU sound without resorting to templates."
Read the full LWE review here"Simply entitled 'Motional Response', and to be released next month via Chicago house label Still Music, Stuart wraps the album lovingly and dynamically, almost akin to someone who is about to wrap a birthday present to the love of his life. Not a crease nor a tear in the works. Only painstaking work, ensuring that every corner and fold is taken and executed with the strictest of care and precision (from Stuart, I wouldn't expect anything less). "

Here is its review in the latest Groove Mag # 139 (Germany - translated):
"Although actually always essential part African American embossed dance music, African and other "World" music elements so usually a very delicate plaster and especially in recent years, more often than the superficial Masked degenerate with which the boring minimal Tune quickly yet to receive a dash of authenticity. Happy and vice versa, so help with beats from the can to the World-music monotony on the juvenile jumps. When Mr Raoul K but luckily everything else. And altogether. The dial-Lübeck comes from the Ivory Coast and his new album on Still Music underpinned like his releases on Baobab or mule, with that he was one of the very few the gift, the essence of modern, hypnotic dance music from deep house and percussive techno to join his African roots, and indeed sounds in a way that not only completely authentic, but also almost inevitably generates epic peak time monster.Mr Raoul K's at times like 10-minute track seems to stand still, and that's basically exactly the goal of good club music. Trance at its best. The more rootsy songs "Mande" and "Belebeleba" fall a little out of the ordinary here, but certainly not negative. And is a 20-minute documentary (CD version) by Mr Raoul K and his band are on top of it yet. SD"
Also Boomkat, one of our favorite record store, drops a nice review right on the nose:
"**Double gatefold CD includes album and documentary film** Recently, Still Music flew their revered producer Mr Raoul K back to his country of birth, The Ivory Coast, to record an album with local musicians. The trip was filmed and accompanies the album here as a special documentary in the 'Mande' double pack - his first long playing release for the label. Raoul's music really suits the LP format, and he takes the opportunity to really stretch out his grooves in a style reminiscent of Fela Kuti's normally 20min+ grooves: from the hypnotically unfolding 13 minute vision of opener 'Somassai' thru the lean, tantric mix layering and evolution of 'Bardot', to the dual extended mixes of 'Rainforest' and taking in the lilting Afrobeat dancepop shimmy of 'Mande (Revemix)' at its apex, beside a sterling Deetron techno mixdown of the simmering drama, 'Sierra Leone'."
If you like Fela, you now what to do. Get a copy fast, the DLP is very limited!
