Sexteto Exellencio – Nautilus

Freestyle Records is releasing the follow up to their popular 2007 Black Feeling album! The album full of cover versions by pseudonuyms of Lance Ferguson aka The Bamboos & Lanu are just as bangin as ever. Lance says,
“The initial study of the original recordings enables me to be freer with interpreting, re-arranging and changing them for the final album. Often I will make changes to make a track a little more attractive or usable for DJs and the dancefloor in general. I think it’s really important to flip the cover-versions up and offer the listener something new so often I’ll change instrumentation around to achieve something unique.”
Black Feeling 2 is in stores July 11
