Friends & Family by DARGZ
Bold, genre-splicing and feel-good, the record is a kaleidoscope of contemporary jazz, hip-hop, funk, pop, and R&B, delivering a fresh and wholly independent sound.
On the album, DARGZ embraces a collaborative, sample-driven approach, with both impeccable digital production techniques and organic, live instrumentation. It features an impressive lineup of guests, including Oscar Jerome, Blue Lab Beats, Nadine El Roubi, Mysie, Milan Ring, and Moses Boyd.
About the album, DARGZ offers: “Friends & Family is an album that is about the spark created by collaboration. Not just with some of my favorite players in the London Jazz scene who feature on the tracks, but the friends and family who are vital to DARGZ. The album is a celebration of family and those friends who become family.”
