Danny Ward's 30-year career has been far from predictable. While best known for the musical eclecticism of his Dubble D project, the dance floor-focused nous of his work as Moodymanc and as a member of the groundbreaking 20:20 Soundsystem, Ward's bulging CV also includes stints drumming for artists as diverse as Fila Brazillia, Rae & Christian, and The Pharcyde, to Jazz luminaries Mat Halsall and Nat Birchall, alongside countless collaborations (Flora Purim and Nightmares on Wax to name but a couple) and numerous evenings spent adding live percussion to DJ sets at iconic Leeds club night Back To Basics.Now the long-serving Manchester musician and producer has a new project to share via NuNorthern Soul called Balaphonic. Inspired by a mixture of lockdown-era studio experiments, online collaborations, his long-held love for Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian rhythms, and a desire to do things differently, 'Resolution Revolutions' is a sonically detailed and immersive album that takes Ward's musical output to a whole new level.Like many musicians, Ward used the forced lockdowns of the global COVID-19 pandemic to retreat to his basement studio and make music. Focusing on utilizing all of the acoustic and electronic tools at his disposal - not least his beloved percussion instruments - Ward took the opportunity not only to draw on a wide range of musical influences and ideas, but also rhythms, grooves and time signatures. As well as composing new tracks from scratch, he also revisited older compositions with fresh eyes and ears.The results are simply stunning. Ward sets his stall out via the exotic, slow-burn Balearic warmth of 'Sunflowers in Dub (Deep Summer Mix)', where echoing whistles, harmonica motifs, sitar sounds, and cascading piano motifs rise above dub-wise bass and seductive, soft-focus beats. The heady, eyes closed vibe continues on the sunrise-ready awakening of 'Disorganics (All Strings Mix)', a samba-soaked summer shuffle rich in sparkling acoustic guitars and infectious Latin percussion, and the fretless bass-sporting Afro-Cuban yearning of 'Six Fingers'.As 'Resolution Revolutions' progresses, Ward's deep love of club-adjacent and dancefloor-focused rhythms subtly comes to the fore. There's 'Udders', a hybrid - and hypnotizing - fusion of chopped-up South American percussion, marimba-style melodic motifs, looped bass and spacey electronics, and Ocean Waves Brasil collaboration 'Oxum', a mid-tempo Afro-Brazilian deep house number wrapped in deliciously dreamy chords and gentle acid lines.Similarly impressive and inspired is closing cut 'Bloco Manco', where Ward peppers a delay-laden Latin beat and a deep, weighty, dancehall style bassline in waves of echoing hand percussion and restless timbales patterns. Stripped-back, raw and seriously sub-heavy, it provides a jaw-dropping conclusion to one of Ward's most perfectly formed albums yet.Tracklisting:A1. Sunflowers in Dub (Deep Summer Mix)A2.
