While it's hard to easily define or categorize the Basa sound, their groove is somehow instantly familiar...

There's almost a sense of Deja-vu with the loungey Sunday drive space-jazz that these cats lay down. Fascinating though easily convoluted spaces between pop, jazz, electro, and soul are effortlessly navigated by Eric Corbett and Nappy D with consistently classic and classification defying results. Full of simple clear melodies and songwriting that comes from a tradition as old as Motown, this is definitely music informed by the past, but there's no lack of innovation to be found in the genius EP: Edit. Tired themes, like love being all you need, sound fresh once again through Basa's take on Starlight (

) and unrequited love gets the lush treatment with Touche (). As with all good music, words could never convey the beauty of the deliciously sublime so get yourself to Cloud_09 () and bathe yourself in the warm glow that is good music.
