“Thick, groovy jazz with a boom-bip touch…this is some upbeat, dope music.”
—The Tripwire
Adam Dorn’s, aka Mocean Worker’s fifth and most recent album, Cinco De MOWO! sheds the electronica flavor with which he was often associated at the outset of his career and embraces his jazz and funk influences, while keeping the focus on crafting songs with undeniable hooks. More than just break beats, tunes find their way deep into the sub-conscious with melodies that reverberate long after they’ve ended. Now he has transformed Mocean Worker into a red hot six-piece funk machine, featuring some of New York City's most revered musicians, to bring to life the "breakbeat jazz" stylings of the Mocean Worker studio albums. From the first note it’s audibly apparent you've entered the world of Mocean Worker—subtle improvisations emerge within tight arrangements, grooves appear inside of grooves, samples of samples are re-imagined and mingle comfortably among the sounds of the world’s finest living, breathing jazz musicians. This is quintessentially feel-good music – this is the incomparable Mocean Worker sound.
