Augustus Georgia - Synthetic Substitution - Disco Loops & Breaks

Augustus "Gus" Georgia is such a devotee of The Godfather of Soul that he actually changed his surname (real name: Augustus Riley) to pay tribute to the little town in the Peach State where the late great James Brown was raised. Being able to sing and perform Brown's complete catalog is his stock and trade, so he hooked up with one of the hottest production teams in Florida to record and deliver a well-received tribute album. The overwhelming positive feedback from club and radio DJs proved that Gus was definitely on to something special. With touring remaining a problem due to the state of the world, Gus headed back to the studio and recorded the follow-up "Synthetic Substitution - Disco Loops & Breaks" just to prove that he wasn't a one-trick pony. The new album was culled from a wide range of funky soulful material - taking some of his personal favorite jams and reinventing them in a style that places the accent on funky loops and breaks to bring the best bits forward. With a few original tunes mixed in for good measure, and only one James Brown song which appropriately ends the album, Augustus Georgia truly shows us the depth of his range through the symbiotic relationship he's obviously developed with his team of producers. Rest assured, there's more to come from this unique talent. .
