Released in the Autumn/Fall of 2011, Wagon Cookin’s fourth studio album ‘Eleven’ received critical acclaim from both press and A-list DJs, while consumers lapped up the retro 80’s approach taken by Spanish brothers Javier and Luis Garayalde. One of the album’s standout tracks ‘Come Into The Light’, featuring the vocals of Roberto Q. Ingram, served as a teaser for what was to follow when it was initially released back in February 2011, and now Part 2 delivers fresh takes from Chus & Ceballos, Ammie Graves and The Cruising.
Wagon Cookin’ was born from the deep passion of brothers Javier and Luis Garayalde for good music and delicious food. They also share the experience of living together in a genuine railway wagon, which once ran on the great Trans-Europe-Express at the beginning of the 20th century.
Both skilled musicians playing several instruments, they were part of various jazz bands before developing an interest in electronic music, acid jazz and house in the 1990s. Starting out on Chris Duckenfield’s Odori imprint, they have gone on to work with Compost and Lovemonk, as well as forming their own label Appetizers which led to collaborations with people like Rainer Trüby, Gilles Peterson and Masters At Work.
Remixes are provided by the prolific and fellow Spanish duo Chus & Ceballos who deliver a driving tribal-tinged main room house remix and dub; Brazilian DJ/Producer Ammie Graves who brings a classic house sound, and; Russian duo The Cruising who serve a synth-led remix that reflects Wagon Cookin’s own approach in the studio.
