San Francisco Under a Groove, Vol. 1  (Audio CD) 
by Andre Castano

San Francisco Under a Groove is the second installment in the "Under a Groove," series. This series focuses on uncovering new electronica from hotspots around the globe. The concept was created after a trip to Paris in 2001. There we came across some French artists who fused electronica with funk and jazz. The resulting album, Paris Under a Groove received some critical buzz. We decided next to begin a San Francisco project, and in the process found some great talent. The SF sound has a more mellow side compared with New York and Chicago. In capturing that vibe, the album, focuses in on a funk/jazz electronica sound, deep basslines and sultry vocals. Perfect for kicking off any cocktail hour. The album's back side includes soulful breakbeat and deep house tracks played in Soma clubs.

Featuring unreleased tracks from Miguel Migs and Lisa Shaw, a deep house remix of Goapele's hit track "Closer," and introducing, Andre Castano, Superbacana, Irina Mikhailova & Mr Untel, Triangle Orchestra, Will Felt, Tetris, Movido, and Karmacoda. Plus Maximillian's unreleased deep house track, with spoken word by Rev. Cecil Williams. 74 minutes total time.
