Franco-German producer Shantel has been in the shadows of the more ostentatious French house scenesters the last few years has produced a wonderful collection of eclectic sounds and beats on his !K7 debut. From the sweet guitar driven intro, to the light samba of 'Backroad', head bobbing funk of 'Crystal', Bjork sounding 'Believe', sonic mischief of 'Whatever', to other orchestral and jazzy effects, the standards of innovative downtempo jammies you expect from this studio wizard are in there. Imagine a K + D with a lighter touch.
