These across-the-ocean collaborations are working well what with the Recluse Crew (Finland) and Synoptic Pressure (Minneapolis) and their album The Art Of Raw Sound.

Up Hygh are a couple of young producers, song writers and MCs known as Pure Purpose and Rick Skizzo, who are signed to Raw Fusion’s sister label, Jugglin’. Their track opened the Basement Classics compilation whilst Little Brother’s Phonte has just featured on DJ Spinna’s Intergalactic Soul title track.

With the trend to go liquid at the moment, ‘Keep On’ is a bouncing soulful joint as they “just flow through your soul”. Talking of liquid, the instrument version is a cool companion to the Der Pflug remix of ‘Back Up’.

Up Hygh have recently extended their range and played live at the F12 at the Raw Fusion Summer Terrace with Melo. Melo finishes off single as the guest on ‘Get Out My Face’ that is even more soulful and funky.

This single has been out a little while and it taken from their debut CD, The Venus Album. One to look out for on the strength of this 12” and there’s some more live gigs at home. Definitely worth checking out their myspace site (see links below) with both tracks currently loaded and a corking Bugz-like track with Eska on vocals, ‘Be Known’.
