While the roster on England's much-hyped trip-hop label Mo'Wax is
packed to the gills with bedroom boffins turned recording artists,
Attica Blues is the closest it comes to having an actual band. The
pancultural collective began life in 1994 when producers D'Afro
(born Charlie Williams) and Tony Nwachukwu first met up. D'Afro had
previously founded London's Urban Poets Society collective, but the
duo later became Attica Blues for their continuing studio
experiments. While trying to sell some Japanese hip-hop records,
D'Afro met up with Mo'Wax founder James Lavelle and was offered a
spot on the label. The duo began recording their first single alone
but when a local student, the Egyptian-born Roba El-Essawy, visited
the studio during the recording for their debut single, D'Afro and
Nwachukwu decided to add her to the group. Attica Blues released
their first two EPs Vibes, Scribes 'N Dusty 45s and Blueprint in
1995, and followed with two more during 1996-97. Mo'Wax issued
their self-titled debut album in September 1997.
As Mondo Grosso, Japanese track-master Shinichi Osawa has acted
alone and with various vocalists and collaborators ranging from
Monday Michiru to N'dea Davenport to Tania Maria to produce some of
the most stylish acid jazz, house, and R&B produced in his country
during the '90s. Born in 1967, the man from Sakura Hills began
recording in 1989 and released his first Mondo Grosso material
during 1992-1993, including his self-titled debut album on Japan's
For Life imprint. Its globetrotting flair (indebted to American
disco and R&B, British acid jazz, Brazilian samba) led a vanguard
of mature Japanese dance music also including United Future
Organization and Pizzicato 5. Licensing agreements on several
compilations resulted in Mondo Grosso's "Souffles H" becoming a
club hit in the West as well, and the second MG LP, Born Free,
followed in 1995, with vocalist/collaborators including Monday
Michiru and Jhelisa.
