Huw Marc Bennett – Tresilian Bay

Every so often an album comes along that’s just too good to pass up on. Huw Marc Bennett’s Tresilian Bay might just be one of these such records. With its combination of Augustus Pablo-esque dub and Idris Muhammed groove, set against the backdrop of contemporary vocals and progressive sounds - it’s a slice of funk-groove that combines the vintage with the new.

A so-called nod to hedonistic summer nights spent anywhere from the Glamorgan coast to the hot Lewisham streets, Tresilian Bay is named after the bay near where Huw grew up, supposedly steeped in tall tales of ancient Welsh royalty, smugglers and pirates.

Soul lovers, balearic chin-strokers, jazz appreciators, and club DJ’s needing that perfect bar record - I think we’re all going to agree on loving this record!
