Chill Factor 5

about

Electronica / Down-tempo / Nu-Jazz From, EVANSTON, Illinois United States Grammy nominated for best album electronic 2009 Chill Factor 5 :: The New Sound Electronfarm Records URB NEXT 1000 Calling Chill Factor-5's music electronica is false, as is calling it jazz, funk, or even experimental. Think Thievery Corporation with heavier world grooves and a spacy ambience. Chill Factor-5's newest album Sun Flower Jazz has been nominated for a 2009 Grammy in the Electronica/Dance category, but constraining their style to such a genre doesn't qualify their unique trip-funk style. The Nu Music movement is upon us. Reviewed by Elliott Townsend Maurice Oliver/Chill Factor-5 As the lines between electronica, soul, jazz and funk become increasingly blurred, a new generation of recording artist is emerging. Neither exclusively organic nor exclusively electronic, these artists are redefining the parameters of modern music. Maurice Oliver finds himself at the helm of this burgeoning movement, oozing with texture, crafting a unique aesthetic out of experimentation with both live and acoustic elements. Maurice’s hybrid sound spans across genres, encompassing elements of electronica, downtempo, jazz, funk and soul. The result is a stunning selection of blissed-out, harmonious tracks that appeal to fans across the board. This unconventional approach to music making is what sets Maurice Oliver apart. Crisp, warm and highly original, each track brings a breath of fresh air. CATHERINE CARTER:
