Valique has been busy making music since the beginning of the 90's.Ranging from live-performed heavy jungle to jazzed up ethnic soundtracks, it is only within the last few years that he has gained the title of #1 Russian funk / soul producer - and for good reason! The first 12 Taking Your Seat received massive support from DJ's worldwide, and while his remix of Thirty Three by The New Mastersounds (from re:mixed on Record Kicks) joined the Best of Year list on Craig Charles acclaimed BBC 6 Music Funk and Soul Show. Following several digital releases and the second 12 single (Let Go) Trouble Girl, Valique presents R.A.W. (Russians At Work) - 11 dance-floor minded tracks, including vocal collaborations with Fanny Franklin of Ubiquity Records and Sofi Ocran.Anything from horns to Iskra disco synths can be found on R.A.W, as Valique delivers a DJ-friendly view of modern disco-funk. Good 12 from this guy. Like the vocal tune. A groovy 12 in all! DieslerReminds me a little of Fort Knox Five! - Boca 45
