Originally created to be a CD release, DJ Nerstylist’s year long opus, Beautiful Sounds is finally seeing the light of day. He had this to say about the his all vinyl mix,
“The title “Beautiful Sounds” is pretty self explanatory. Basically, I wanted to take all things that sound beautiful, blend these things together, package it, then share it with all of you. When I think of the phrase “Beautiful Sounds”, I hear congas, horns, bass lines, jazz chords, latin rhythms, and sultry voices singing in languages I can’t understand. If someone asked me what genres “Beautiful Sounds” would be comprised of, I’d mention jazz, afrobeat, bossanova, samba, salsa, soul, funk, and anything else you don’t hear on your local radio station.”
