Dopeness Galore Records presents:
THE TIMELESS INTERPRETATIONS
“Interpretations of the Timeless records catalogue”

In the summer of 2005, we from Dopeness Galore hooked up with the jazz label Timeless to start a project which ended up in this LP: “the Timeless interpretations”.

Timeless is a famous jazz label founded in 1975 in the Netherlands. The label holds a catalogue consisting of more than 700 titles of the most highly anticipated jazz artists of our time, from which only a few are revealed on this album. To shine a new light on “Timeless” and give people who don't know about the label the chance to re-discover, Dopeness Galore connected with the finest contemporary producers who were given the freedom to create this LP as free and versatile as the word “interpretation” can be interpret.

Much like Timeless, the artists on this record are no newcomers in the music game. Most of them have been around for some time, but are not known by the big audience. This record brings them and Timeless together, it represents what's going on right now, and gives you a peek at the future of music.

I.N.T. starts things up with the atmosphere of Dopeness Galore's city, featuring Rich's deep voice explaining time.Kev Brown , known for productions for Jazzy Jeff, De La Soul and Biz Markie , mashes up Batida's “ Vera Cruz” raw and soulfully, while also blessing the mic for that classic uncut hiphop action. Traveling through the Politik's (who are Mark de Clive-Lowe & Bembe Seque ) down tempo jazz banger, the next stop is Domu's heavy fender Rhodes broken beat action. Domu is mostly known for his remix work for labels such as Ninja Tune, 2000 Black, Compost a.o. Wouda ( Dopeness Galore ) jams away with Johnny Griffin creating his own deep pumpwork. Now it's Africa in the house with Jacob Malik Ladder , who drops an atmospheric afrobeat vibe with that distinguished Kid Sublime feel. Then it's Rich Medina's ( Jill Scott, Weldon Irvine, Platinum Pied Pipers ) turn to provide a typical and catchy soul cut “ I Cry ”, touching Lilian Boutté's “ I cried for you” . I.N.T. ( La Melodia, Stones Throw, Nod Navigators ) let's you move through Chet Baker's convoluted landscapes in his own jazzed up boogie way. An uptempo jazz anthem comes from John Arnold, who played as a guitarist in Amp Fiddler's band.  Alex Attias is going back to his earlier Mustang period, with a minimal techno take on Art Blakey's “Kenji's Walk” . After Rich concludes on Timelessness over  Wouda's samba beat from the past, Elsas ( production for dutch legend Extince) closes the album “ In Time ” with his soulful bossa nova interpretation of Leny Andrade .
