In their debut CD Echo Parcourse, Trio Electricos Peter Heider, one half of Boozoo Bajou, DJ Ekki Elétrico and Peter Hoppe, combine Latin, break beat and house influences into a fine and funky collection of dance floor-driven nu-jazz tracks. Producing a rich, organic and authentic sound, layering soulful blues and upbeat jazz riffs over understated house rhythms and languid mid-tempo grooves, the trio prove themselves audio craftsman. The soulful Latin dancehall of "Por Donde Vas slides easily into the blues-soaked jazz shuffle of "Cry Baby and the sweet and sophisticated style conscious groove smoothly drives both soulful and brisk rhythms. Harmonious, elegant, down right jazzy and utterly danceable, Echo Parcourse is a nu-jazz gem.
