What a strange and unusual trip it's been for the last two years
since we opened Eighteenth Street Lounge. We always said the music
was everything at ESL and I don't think we've wavered once from
that belief. From Bossa Nova to Dub to Mambos to Future Jazz, we
continue to reach for the right vibe. From the beginning, most
people didn't know much about the music at the Lounge; however, the
awareness is growing and many minds are definitely opening. To
continue the process, we created the ESL Soundtrack Series of which
you hold the first volume in your hand.
The sequence of the CD is designed to roughly approximate an
evening at the Lounge. If you arrive early, you might be greeted
by the Francophone Bossa Nova of Isabelle Antena, an absolute ESL
favorite. Just past the midnight hour, the bass cabinets begin to
rumble as the astounding Mancini-meets-Freestyle scratching of
Red's "Squeeler" raises things a notch or two. At 3:00 am you can
come back down with the ambient mantra's of Thievery Corporation's
"One", a track recorded at ESL Studios.
While thirteen cuts is just a sip from the Eighteenth Street Lounge
cocktail, let's just consider this the first round.
