“all music is spiritual. to listen to music ….most of what we do is arbitrary. we recreate the world in our minds. but music is real because it follows the laws of the real universe. an octave is twice the vibrations of the octave below it. a fifth is a known thing. there is a cultural bias… there’s a cultural tendency, for instance, what we think of when we hear a minor chord may not be what people in india think of when they hear a minor chord. but generally speaking how that feels…it’s undeniably direct. it doesn’t have the human filter on it. and yet it is a uniquely human process. when you combine that with a lyrical message that either is supported or contrasts with the music, it’s a powerful thing."

Recorded in his own studio based in Rome, after 3 years of hard work and changes, Crazy Glue contains different musical experiences that the artist experimented reaching an original sound after the past releases on labels such Subculture and Urban pressure.
The E.P. is a set of tunes that ranging from jumpup to neurofunk. Much attention is given in the sound and rhythmic arrangements and it is into melodic tracks such as “bad”, “when I go” and “stop” that this collage get maximum pressure into dance floors.

***BOOG015 Lucius Lowe ft Lois Taylor - Sweet music***
Lucius Lowe brings one of his earliest productions "Sweet music" bang up-to-date on the latest release from Boogs Music. The package brings three different flavours to your record box - The classic, smooth vocal house sound of the "High on the groove mix," Hard-hitting club sounds from the "Thru the roof mix" and the deep and soulful groove of the original 2003 mix. Featuring haunting vocals from newcomer Lois Taylor, the package gives an accurate measure of how Lucius' production skills have been honed between composition of the original 2003 mix and more recent remixes. The "Thru the roof mix" also marks Lucius' first commercial release, included on the compilation CD "Dancefloor '06" from Manchester's D6 Records. Think Ian Carey meets the Groove Junkies and you won't be far off with this excellent offering from Boogs Music...
