Charles Webster is a British songwriter/producer/DJ has been concoting beats & rhythms for the dancefloor since the mid 80s under names like Presence, Furry Phreaks, Sine, & Love from San Francisco. But for Born on the 24th of July he has created sterling Downtempo music for the post-club experience. Here he recruits the vocal abilities of Del St Joseph, Terra Diva, & Massive Attack vocalist Sara Jay to put lyrics to his dense moody songs,
"Cubic 4", the UK-based design / art direction agency handled the overall art direction / sleeve design. Jon Burgerman, well known for his whimsical, vibrant doodles & pop-art murals was brought on board to create the playful, signature character artwork & paintings on the album packaging.

Hello NØ. Hope your wound's healing up. Thx for this and the other downtempo grooves. Charles Webster's radio show 'Appetite For Selection' on OpenLab is required listening most Sundays if I'm off work.
