NT NEWS ARCHIVE:


*OUT NOW IN CANADA. US OCT 9. UK OCT 29 NT022CD/2LP - GAVIN FROOME 'POST+BEAM'

The follow-up to Gavin's hugely successful debut 'Mobile Villager'. "Post + Beam" sees Gavin moving beyond the dancefloor, entering the living rooms of a new generation of discerning listeners.
Deep house, nu-jazz & downtempo from the low-key don of Vancouver dance music.
"Gavin's album is deserving of some true musical praise for its breadth and what it risks....
This is deep house music, and Gavin Froome has reinvented it all over again."
Discorder Magazine, Vancouver CAN, OCT 2001

"Keeping the house warm, this low-key producer has become a critical fave. His shimmering new Nordic Trax CD is easy, intelligent listening: disco for grownups, and the perfect soundtrack for our city."
Vancouver Magazine, SEPT 2001

DJ MAG UK SEPT 01, ISSUE #98

"This is so up my alley I may move in. If you can start a compilation of your label's releases with 'Innocent' by Home & Garden, life must be very good. The slinkiness of Colette's vocals are capable of making you lose your head and you're only one track in. 'Lazy Transmissions' is anything but. You can tell the artists featured, including Mtrax, Gavin Froome, Morgan Page and Jon Delerious, have worked hard at their craft, all packaged with style by label boss Luke McKeehan. Sex in a CD jewel case and one of my albums of the year."
5/5 Kate Wildblood

IDJ, UK SEPT 01
" And when it comes to quality few can match the deep, deep house of Luke McKeehan's Nordic Trax imprint. So here's the man himself mixing up his impressive and international portfolio, and doing it really rather well. "

THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, AUG
"'Lazy Transmissions' leaves no toes untapped: this is feel-good music, perfectly presented by the Vancouver house music community's favourite local ambassador."
Deena Cox, Vancouver, CAN

XCLAIM! Magazine SEPT 01

"The title suggests chilled out, down-tempo beats, but this session is likely to make you feel anything but lazy. The tech-house selections of Luke McKeehan are minimal and pulsing, but also full of melody and warmth. A solid set with a line-up that's dominantly Canuck, not to mention perfect for an afternoon party."
Prasad Bidaye, Toronto, CAN
