Chris Joss' fourth studio album Teraphonic Overdubs is available now. Amidst a whirlwind of vintage funk and psychedelic retro-futurisms, the international producer/instrumentalist extraordinaire returns with a brand new collection of technicolored grooves! This time Chris Joss adds some new surprises to his trademark blaxploitation soundscapes, painting the musical canvas with broad strokes of lush, multi-layered instrumentation. String arrangements, woodblock and cowbell rhythms, near eastern flutes and sitars, and even a marimba and harpsichord play alongside classic wah-wah guitars, elastic bass-lines, and dusty organ riffs for a kaleidoscopic sonic odyssey not to be missed!

Having lived in both Paris and London in the nineties, Joss digested the vibrant music scenes of each city while working as a sound engineer and playing in several bands.

In 1996 he recorded his first album The Man with a Suitcase, which Chris describes as “the soundtrack to an imaginary 60’s TV series – a tribute to Lalo Schifrin, John Barry, Quincy Jones and Laurie Johnson”. The album, now out of print and highly sought after, was finally released in 1999 by independent label Pulp Flavor. Just recently the title track ‘The Man with a Suitcase’ re-released as a bonus track by ESL Music, was featured in the movie trailer and ad campaign for the blockbuster film “Oceans 13”

Joss followed up with his sophomore effort Dr. Rhythm in 2002 on Irma Records. Encompassing all his main musical influences including electronica, breakbeat, acid jazz and soundtrack music Dr. Rhythm upped the ante for Joss’ musical catalogue.

In March 2004 a stunning third album, You’ve Been Spiked, was finally complete and released by ESL Music. With its thick funky bass lines, wah-wah guitars, and Rhodes and Hammond riffs pulsating overtop rootsy drums, the album is a vibrant tribute to 1960’s and 1970’s dance music. Obscure samples, turntable scratching, retro-futuristic ambience, and the lush vocals of the energetic Cosmika join in to complete a resolutely cinematic soundscape.
