Andy Compton - Ubuntu (2014)

Ubuntu is Andy Compton's latest masterpiece, Ubuntu meaning "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity" Andy's move to Bristol,UK has had a heavy influence to his sound, as he's now using more local vocalists and musicians, bringing some new flavours. The album features vocalists Celestine, Ziyon, Nathaniel Lewis, Diviniti & Eric King, Sabrina Chyld, Ladybird, and Rowan. The vibe moves from the soulful sound you'd expect from The Rurals to the deeper edge of Andy's house productions, taking you on a beautiful musical journey.

Deeply prolific Bristol-based house connoisseur Andy Compton has released over a 20 albums and over 100 EPs (either under his own name or as part of The Rurals) on his essential Peng label and imprints like Ralf GUM's GOGO Music, Chicago's LARGE Music, Seasons, Viva, Hed Kandi and many others. Since he started playing and producing music at the age of 16, Compton has looked towards jazz, soul and African music to define his unique sound. Compton has generally turned heads and twisted bodies with his thumping brew of electronic beats swathed in coolly-crafted melodies, with Peng becoming one of the premiere labels on the planet, garnering support from house big-hitters like Louie Vega, Larry Heard, Mark Farina and Osunlade. All this has solidified Compton's reputation as one of the most respected house music players on the planet.
