Album Notes & Community Reviews

A holy grail within the realm of library music, Janko Nilovic's 'Rythmes Contemporains' is an astonishingly cinematic fusion of progressive jazz and heavy funk. The Montenegrin-French composer utilizes massive big-band orchestrations, searing acid-rock guitar fuzz, and deep, breakbeat-heavy rhythms that have made it a goldmine for hip-hop producers.
