Take a ride from hell to paradise on the new flying carpet of funk. A new project from two of the original members of cosmic soulestra 1LUV from Vancouver, Canada, Cutty Lark is songstress seductress Amalia Townsend and producer Dr.J taking their soulful sound lo-fi to raw drum breaks, double shots of brass and block rockin' bass grooves.

Dr.J is on the rise. In 2006, not only did he release future soul anthem 'Black Daylight' on SuntzuSound, he also dropped his first full-length album with his band 1LUV on Sonar Kollektiv Berlin and released singles with Yoruba Records, Especial.

Miss Amalia Townsend is slowly but surely becoming an International Tour de Force. From Tokyo to Stockholm she's brought it all on; her unique exuberance, her passion for life, her rawness, her screams, her strength of heart to the people. She has collaborated with the likes of Swedish producer Opolopo, UK man-at-large Atjazz, Compost duo Eddy Meets Yannah, fellow canuck Dr.J and has releases on Columbia, JVC Japan, Sonar Kollektiv, Especial and Deeper Soul Recordings.
