Rephrase - Little Victories 2007

Sydney-based producer Rephrase (real name Jaime Olsen) certainly made quite an impression amongst local nu-funk and breakbeat circles with the release of his debut album ‘Beatcoaster’ two years back on Casa Del Discos, and he certainly hasn’t been idle in the meantime, producing music for television, contributing tracks to compilations such as Creative Vibes’ ‘Evolutionary Vibes 6’ and also somehow finding time to maintain a busy live schedule. This second Rephrase album ‘Little Victories’ follows on the heels of the well-received ‘Boulevard / Good Feelin’’ double-A side 12” earlier this year and emerges through Sydney DJ / journalist Huwston’s Knowfoowl imprint; also the current home of Cookin’ On 3 Burners. It’s also an album that shows Olsen continuing to build on the overseas accolades generated by the release of his debut, taking in a broad range of international collaborations, ranging from Canadian MC Vandal through to NYC-based afrobeat vocalist Negus Shabaka.
