“Post-modern jazz meets atmospheric chillout on this seductive new release from LR-60 & Mr. Moods. Let’s reveal who’s behind this intriguing and rather cryptic recording handle… LR-60 is professional trumpeter Skip Warren who discovered electronic artist Christian Denis (aka Mr. Moods) on-line. Upon realizing that he two shared similar musical ambitions and notions, they began collaborating… blending LR-60’s organica with Mr. Moods electronica. Think Miles Davis meets Massive Attack. LR-60 has racked up years of credits with some amazing blues & jazz icons. COLDEST MEMORIES is truly a piece of audio art… entrancing from start to finish featuring a mesmerizing downtempo industrial vibe that includes trip-hop, acid jazz and world textures. The spaciousness of COLDEST MEMORIES is what gives the project its uniqueness… there’s tremendous breathability in this recording offering a relaxing, yet deep musical journey that lasts well over an hour! Highly recommend! ”
“SmoothJazz.com Review author: Sandy Shore A very chilled out vibe emotes from LR-60 & Mr. Moods’ new collection of tunes on ULTRAVIOLENCE… industrial sexy if you will. I love the way chill and lounge-inspired music is heading. Gone are the days when there was just a cold pulse and soulless beat… maybe it’s the warmth of LR-60’s divine trumpet playing (Skip Warren) or the intoxicating rhythms from Mr. Moods (Christian Denis)… for sure the melodic direction of ULTRAVIOLENCE sets a deep groove for fans of ambient jams. This is a project that will transport you to a super relaxed atmosphere with the highest quality musicianship and production. Fans of future jazz, nu jazz and thrill-to-chill jazz will love ULTRAVIOLENCE! It’s a must have addition for that icy cool collection of killer music you have. ”

“LR-60 & Mr. Moods‘ Earlier Works (Dusted Wax Kingdom) is everything that is good and righteous about downtempo trip hop. LR-60 aka Skip Warren provides the jazz trumpet that haunts the beats and tracks that Mr. Moods aka Christian Denis and Protoype 68 lays down. I believe this work was recorded earlier in their partnership which has sprung two albums Coldest Memories (2008) and Ultraviolence (2009). Earlier Works is cool and compelling, the perfect album to listen to while sipping one of your favorite summer spirits. ”
