Nostalgia 77
Tru Thoughts, UK
Nostalgia 77, aka Ben Lamdin, first burst onto the scene with his heavy, new funk based sound in 2002. Two years later he moved away from the distinctive raw funk of his previous singles and he branched out to explore a more downtempo and jazz infused style. Nostalgia’s sound moved to hip hop based beats fused with dusty old jazz; obscure funk and psych bits and pieces, repolishing and rearranging them for modern day headphone junkies. Coming from producing hip hop style beats he had always heard snippets of jazz tracks he loved, so the fuller musical expression of actually making his own jazz music was inevitable. His cover version of Seven Nation Army with Alice Russell has also helped bring his 'Jazz Jihad' mission to a wider audience. Aiming for an edgy sound whilst continuing to search for a more personal expression, Nostalgia 77’s influences include free and spiritual jazz as well as '60s funk, soul and Afro sounds.
