Album lore
Azaxx’s 2009 release The Exotic Delight Bay on Tru Thoughts unfolds thirteen tracks rooted in nu jazz and funk, seasoned with turntablism flourishes. The set draws on Latin rhythms and playful grooves, evident in titles like “Zorbanissimo” and “Carioca Paradise,” which interlace percussive patterns with swirling instrumental textures. The album’s palette ranges from the buoyant “Beach Mambo” to the laid-back “Smoothly Morning,” threading a lively yet relaxed mood throughout.Issued by Tru Thoughts, a label known for its eclectic dancefloor-friendly fare, The Exotic Delight Bay captures a moment in the late 2000s when jazz-inflected grooves met vinyl crate sensibilities. It remains a modestly scrobbled artifact, holding appeal for those attuned to the intersections of funk, Latin, and turntable artistry.
