Earth/Soulfood. Downtempo music from Good Looking

Initially, the Earth label was conceived as an umbrella under which all the imaginable sounds of LTJ Bukem’s Good Looking would gather. In the morning you can be a modern drum‘n’bass musician and write an atmospheric track at 160 bpm, and later in the evening the broken rhythm slows down by half and you can now pay homage to the music of your childhood: a wild mix of funk, jazz and soul, which was relentlessly played by pirate stations in the UK. You don’t need a guest orchestra to cherish the 70s. With rare exceptions, the rich sound of Good Looking tracks is a matter of digital technology. In the documentary about his label Bukem demonstrated a magnificent module with seven thousand sounds, where all the wind instruments, strings and electric organs were already recorded and you only needed to pick them to make a collage :-)
