New music from Mo Douglas

Portland’s groove king Mo Douglas is a multi-instrumentalist and the main man behind the city’s Ten Dollar Recording Co. independent record label. Cooking up his own rhythm-driven jams, as an artist he blends his ingredients of funk, soul, dub, jazz and rock all wrapped up in psychedelic vibes to create his own Michelin-worthy dishes.

A prolific composer and performer, Mo Douglas has added to his catalogue of releases at an impressive rate over the last few years with each new release showing a new side to his expansive creative vision. While his music ebbs and flows between different styles and genres, one thing remains unshakeable in his sound; a perpetual groove that also makes you want to move.

With one of his recent singles he brings us the new track “Ample Room For Grooving”, an aptly titled piece that features an uptempo walking bass line and delightful harmonic writing. Following on from last year’s ground-breaking full length Fry The Onion Gently, the sonic chef delivers a delicious course of rhythmic food with “Ample Room For Grooving”.

Linking up with Mariya May to add her enticing guest vocals to the track, a piquant arrangement of guitars, flute and keys add balanced flavours that all combine to create an expressive and charming song that’s both memorable and mesmeric.
