Mystic Brew - The Fat City Sound

  • Share
  • The fifth installment in the Mystic Brew series by Fat City Recordings is a diverse mix of smooth sounds and definitely one for those who are a fan of downbeat easygoing collectives. Fat City was one of Machester's best record shops formerly run by Mark Rae (from Rae and Christian fame). Over the past four years Fat City have been releasing three highly successful compilation series, which include Mystic Brew, Special Brew and Fat 'n' Funky. Fat City gave birth to Fat City recordings who are a label that represent a whole host of music genres. The stuff ranges from hip hop to retro funk to reggae. The tempo stays low Standouts being the familiar classic from Aim "Just Passing Through", Substantial's "Home Sweet Home" a funked up hip-hop tune, and Ballistic Brothers' "Peckings" a slightly more up tempo number. A broad collection that dabbles in many genres but still manages to maintain a smooth sound pleasing to the ear.
