After releasing eclectic studio albums such as ‘7 Dunham Place’ and ‘Underground Sound Suicide’, the Desolat boss has finally released his 15 track album “Love Letters”. He has been headlining a number of the big clubs and festivals around the world, Loco Dice has directed his endless passion and musical sensibilities to bare upon his Desolat label, with a stream of records released from some of the most exciting artists around and supported by DJs across the globe.
Loco Dice said:
“It’s been a while since I’ve released anything in the form of an album. This time everything happened differently than my previous albums where I had the story or the concept first and where the music was my soundtrack to that story. This time the music came first – making and collecting music, having a good time in the studio without any pressure. It was not clear at all what to do with all this. To release it or not, if I have club 12” singles, or if I should just keep everything… but it felt good.I looked around me and started to let only positive vibes into my surroundings and after I finished producing the 1st single “Roots”, everything came together. The missing link was there. It was clear to me that this is an album that belongs on my label, Desolat. The music on “Love Letters” is filled with the positive energy and love that I have received around the world. Every piece on this album is like a mini letter. A Love Letter.”
As someone who is deeply influenced by genres like soul & funk, Dice invited German-based artist Serious Klein – who’s work he has been following for the past while, to his Daddyscrib studio and a perfect blend was formed that was not only based on their mutual African roots. When ‘Out Of Reach’ began to take shape, it was clear for Dice that only the Amsterdam’s finest – William Djoko, could provide the final shape he envisaged on the release. The third feature on the LP comes from Detroit godfather Eddie Fowlkes on the appropriately named ‘D Town Playaz’, which features both of the artists’ vocals and serves as a teaser for the things to come.
