London-based producer extraordinaire Shawn Lee teams up with California crooner Nino Moschella to create an EP of cinematic, electronic folksy soul. Packed with collaborations, remixes, exclusive tracks, and album previews the EP includes an anthemic soundtrack-inspired remix by Warp Records producer Mark Pritchard (aka Harmonic 33, Troubleman etc). "Kiss The Sky" is from the forthcoming Shawn Lee album, Voices and Choices, due out in early 2006 and features Nino Moschella's vocals riding a vintage Lee moody down tempo track. "Song For David" is also from the upcoming Voices and Choices and sees Shawn Lee in David top Axelrod-like form with a stunning instrumental track complete with big dramatic strings and fat drums. Shawn Lee remixes Nino Moschella's "Holding On" taken from the Moschella debut album The Fix, and also included is the breezy acoustic soul vibe of "You Never Came", yet another exclusive to this EP that's completely unavailable anywhere else.
Nino Moschella's debut album has been called an "absolute classic" (Gilles Peterson), "essential" (CMJ), and "the record Stevie Wonder should have made after Songs In The Key Of Life" (See Magazine). Since it's release he has played alongside James Brown, Leela James and Dr John and opened for the Greyboy Allstars.
Shawn Lee has recently completed his forth Ping Pong Orchestra album for Ubiquity which is set for release in January 2006. Called Voices and Choices Lee steps out with guest vocals in addition to the customary soundtrack-style instrumental tracks. Lee's music has recently been featured in TV campaigns for BMW and Jaguar plus many TV shows and films. Mutual admirers of each others work the Lee/Moschella collaborations came about organically, and these tracks will not be the last we hear of the two working together.
