Melchior Sultana's latest album on Cold Busted `Recognize the Real' is a jazzy and diverse release alternating between chill Trip Hop and soulful Drum and Bass. It represents nicely what he says about his name - "Melchior Sultana stands for music as an art form with no title and boundaries." Hailing from Malta, a Mediterranean island nation where he is known for starting the first record label at 17, his music style is indeed soulful, melodic and stimulating. The album starts off with `Maltese Nights' a downtempo and atmospheric song with enticing beats. Next, the heat is turned up with the upbeat `Industry Clowns' at 110 BPM and then `Deamons' is unleashed next, a hyper jazzy Jungle tune with a playful bassline and melodic synth riffs. The album continues to decrescendo and crescendo in this way, with some notable favorites including `My World'. This one starts on an introspective energetic hip hop note and then drops about a minute and a half in with fun and sporadic amen breaks, drums with melodies that are truly free and lovely. The album ends on a collaboration song with Jonathan Ellul, `Man Fight Passion' filled with seductive acoustic riffs, drums and effects that end it on a sincerely eclectic note. More feel good and often intoxicating beats can be found on this 18 track mellifluous release from Malta's Melchior Sultana.
