AD Bourke & Rotla – AD Bourke & Rotla Vol.9
Ad Bourke and Rotla are Italy’s answer to Floating Points and the rest of the nu-school, nu-jazz crew. The two Roman beat soldiers are a constant presence on our radars, always keeping things fresh and in flux. They land head-high on the young and vibrant Really Swing label with these naughty three cuts, spread across two sides of 10″ wax – our favourite format. “Ostia 1982” makes reference to Rome’s decadent riviera and the italo-disco movement, where its 4/4 disco licks dominate the A-side with pride and mystique. “Traffic Jam” is a wonky boogie chiller with liquid-like electro bass tones, and “Foresta” heads down the jazzy pastures that these two usually like to indulge in; the tune is a magnificent excursion into a deep and chimerical world of percussion and ethereal sonics. Bliss.
