Slow Down (Ordinary Dawn) is one of the brand new tracks written by John Rocca which were released on the re-issue of the classic Freeez Debut album ‘Southern Freeez Variations on a Theem’
“The melancholic suburban soul of ‘Southern Freeez’ never gets tired for me….an album that has remained at the top of my Brit Funk pile!” – GILLES PETERSON
Originally released 40 years ago, it will be available digitally on June 19th, and as a double LP on August 21st.
Freeez were a legendary group from London, known as one of the UK’s main jazz-funk bands of the early 1980s…aka Brit funk. Led by John Rocca, Freeez consisted of various musicians, originally with Rocca and others including Andy Stennett (keyboards), Peter Maas (bass guitar), and Paul Morgan (drums). While they may not be a household name, if you know, you know. Freeez went on to be sampled many times, by artists including Jamie xx, Coolio, Brandy, Madlib, and more.
