For those of you who’ve never visited or haven’t had the chance to follow our selections, here’s the deal: five ‘choice’ tracks from our resident Cafe Revue sessions.
Via our Spotify account and residency at the Attibassi cafe in Chichester, a selection of tracks each week: covering a myriad of musical styles from spiritual jazz, Krautrock, psych, soundtracks, Afrobeat, Highlife, soul, R&B, golden age of Hip Hop…the list is endless. With an assortment of reissues, back catalogue, classics and some of the newest releases – some even exclusive to the Monolith Cocktail.
All years are taken from the versions we play, whether off subsequent later compilations, reissues or, in many cases the original.
