Mystical Soul by Twinset

On “Mystical Soul” organist Chris Yeabsley, twin brother Dan Yeabsley on sax/flute and Paul Hoskin on drums present vocal collaborations with such luminaries of the Wellington massive as Lotus, Barnaby Weir (The Black Seeds) and Dallas (Fat Freddy's Drop). With engineering by Dr Lee Prebble (The Black Seeds/Phoenix Foundation), and Mu of Fat Freddy’s Drop providing his magic touch on mixing and mastering duties, Mystical Soul is a smooth taste of the popsicle-chill dub-tinged jazz flavour that is Twinset.

Since Twinset’s first gig in 2006, they have set a standard of impeccable presentation, both in their attire - suits and ties mandatory - and in their finely crafted compositions. While their sound is customarily typified as jazz, there is a lot of use made of break beats, roots and dub influences. With smooth grooves, strong lead lines and a palpably warm texture, “Mystical Soul” is a heady concoction of lounge and jazz styles, gently infused with dub and soul to create an album of essential urban listening.

With Christopher Yeabsley on Hammond organ, twin brother Daniel weaving lyrical lines on flute, clarinet and all manner of saxes and Paul Hoskin steering the groove from his drum seat, Twinset have created their unique variation on the organ combo.
