OUTCASTE NEW BREED UK - Ges-E, Mo Magic and Niraj Chag

LABEL: Outcaste


The new breed funk it up Responsible for some of the funkiest cuts of last year the Outcaste label [not to be confused with hip hop crew OutKast or Beaumont Hannon's techno outfit Outcast] bounds into '99 with an album celebrating its three young bucks. Although it'll probably be dumped in the pigeon hole marked 'Asian Underground' it's packed with raw funk, breakbeats and snatches of inspired folk soul. Mo Magic's Funksta is as sexy and cheeky as any recent David Holmes offering while Ges-E's blissful Fields Of Dreams beats even Morcheeba in the chill-out soul stakes. This 'caste is well and truly set.
