Tropic of Groove – the meridian where funk, jazz and soul meet.

Acid jazz grooves because it sits right at the crossroads of funk, soul, jazz improvisation and club culture. The rhythm section punches with a irresistible beat; horns and keys add colour and character, while the bassline always the secret engine hits you right in your dance core. Acid jazz feels like a conversation between elegance and energy, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
