Quality stuff from Joshua as usual. Tone D is my fave of the ep. -- DJ Heather
Alpha& Omega is the one for me, heavy deep house vibe. -- DJ Sneak
Alpha & Omega is the shit! Loving Tone D too. Both are going to sound lovely on the late night sound systems and in the mix for more enlightened minds. Serious biz. -- Mazi (Audio Soul Project)
After working with a slew of well respected labels including Classic, Prescription and Junior Boys Own, Joshua finally decided to start his own imprint. Drawing from a myriad of influences, from heavy Jamaican dub to bleepy Detroit techno, Vizual seeks to develop new musical forms that bridge the gap between pure organic music and abstract electronic sound paintings, yet creating something danceable in the process.
This first release features four new original tracks by Joshua. They are stripped down, rydims, ready to play and meant to be mixed!
Joshua’s dubby basslines and melodic keys, and reggae-tinged beats are there as usual and these tracks will fit in well in any dj set.
Get this release from the Vizual Records Store now with an exclusive bonus track not available from any other digital music outlet!
Available exclusively from Beatport until 09 August 2009 [09/09/09], after that on all major download sites.

Phobic continues its run of quality releases with its latest outing, 'Sunny Like Jazz ep', a second outing on Phobic for Jr from Dallas.
'Funkthead' kicks things off in fine style with filtered basslines , jazz keys and spoken vocals delivered in the man from dallas unique style. One for the peak time slots. 'Jack'n Jazz' is just that!....another peak-time floor filler!
Next up is the tom special interest remix of 'Funkthead', Tom delivers his trademark swingng beats and vocal snips to give us his funked up version of the original. More peak-time buisiness for the more funky dancefloors.
Then we have Matthew Random's remix of 'jack'n jazz'. Matthew takes things on a more techy slant with subtle acid squelches cut up horn samples. A great deep funky techy groove !
Happy Birthday Josh... hope all is well and spirits are high. Wishing you all the best... remember , they can make us grow old but they can't make us grow up.
