Happy Hour In The Gene Pool
Evolve's chilled out grooves and breaks are produced by Red Broad. Their debut outing, Happy Hour In The Gene Pool is a delightful blend of lounge pop, subtle beats, found sound, and mellow jazz influences, a lounge lizard’s idea of heaven on Earth. The overall vibe is predominantly mellow, and the arrangements ooze sophistication and depth. Singer Margo Reymundo features on two tracks contributing her distinctive raspy, Billy Holiday-esque jazzy vocal stylings to "Couldn't Be More Wrong" and "The Way Back", with rapper Tantrum providing the testosterone on "By Definition: Cool" and "Mice On The Ice". Happy Hour In The Gene Pool manages to stay focused and coherent throughout its sixty plus minutes while providing enough diversity to maintain interest, and enough depth to sustain repeated listenings. Most of the tracks presented here are ripe for the plucking by nearly any of the hundreds of chill out mix albums being released. The album is equally enjoyable to chill out to whether on headphones, at a cocktail party or on a long drive. Happy Hour In The Gene Pool contains a little something for every electronica music fan, which, in this case, is a good thing.

author: MC RadianceMy girlfriend has taken this cd to work, which means I may never get it back. Everybody there wants to know who that great album is by, cause she's always playing it!
Incredible! CD!
author: Jose M.Last week I bought this CD, and I´ve kept it into a "gold box". How is possible, to make so great and fantastic music? The more I hear some CDbaby artists, the more I get near to extasis...
WOW
author: RachelFrom the moment I heard the sample I had to have this CD. It is the ultimate cruising CD. Everyone is asking me who is the artist I am listening to, and I tell them it's Evolve baby; you better get with this. Lovin' it.
FANTASTIC ALBUM, TOP PRODUCTION AND VOCALS!!
author: Lazy HammockI bought this CD after hearing them on the Space Music podcast that we were both played on. The more I play it, the more I love it. Its takes you through a journey of different genres within one genre...very clever! Production is great, fits very neatly round the awesome vocals. well done guys, this will definitely put you on the map!!
Outstanding ! Brilliant ! Sublime & Sexy...a Monster Groove.
author: DJ GrooveToneThe GrooveTone Lounge of Liquid Soundz places "Happy Hour in the Gene Pool" as a "TOP Shelf" Lounge Groove. It is a rare thing indeed to find an album with so much well crafted sonic finesse. How many discs do you own, where nearly every track has such artistic clarity that you wind up listening to the whole thing whenever you put it on...without reaching for the next track button. This is an outstanding work...book me a room and bring on the chilled Martinis...I'm not going anywhere. Bravo! GT
Clever and Unique!
author: Smoothjazz.com ReviewAnd what a swanky, swirling, sophisticated happy hour it is! A mingling mélange of smooth grooves and chilled tracks from beginning to end. Evolve has a superb and intelligent recording here; one that makes even the most blasé music enthusiast sit up and take notice with its rich instrumentation and arrangements featuring killer drum programming and loops, trumpet, flugelhorn and keyboards, as well as brilliant lyrical notions and outstanding vocals from the sultry Margo Reymundo and intriguing nu-rap from Tantrum. The man behind the evolution of Evolve? Only the coolest Brit in California with a name to match, Red Broad. Red's work on HAPPY HOUR IN THE GENE POOL is deep and poignant, yet shallow enough to wade in with friends while sipping cocktails. Evolve is genre defining in my opinion; a standard by which other artists should measure their work and quality. In a time when the music industry requires life support, Evolve has just shot an injection of clever and unique into its veins and offers the consumer a reason to buy the entire project, not just a tune. More please! More music that appeals to the senses and packages itself in a stunning, shiny digipak that you never want to put down. SmoothLounge.com invites you to Evolve.~SANDY SHORE
SmoothLounge.com absolutely LOVES this Project!
author: Jamie Trent, Smooth LoungeWe are so happy you are getting results already from playing your music on our Station, SmoothLounge.com...YEAH!!:-) You will definitely be seeing more of that!:-)
Margo’s voice is so absolutely fabulous and unique...
author: Jourdan Laik, Lounging Sound.I must say that the chilled out sound this album has really gives it a professional tone; but Margo really caps it all off with class. It is extremely rare for us to play any compositions with any vocal tracks in it, but Margo’s voice is so absolutely fabulous and unique that I needed to share it with our listeners. I look forward to hearing more.
One tough mutha!!
author: DJ Dub NinjaJust received your CD today. After listening to all of it I am breathless and buzzing. This is one tough mutha!! One of the best of 2006 by far.
Sensual Grooves to Satisfy Your Soul
author: B Dunn from Dallas, TXWhat a timeless CD with steady, rhythmic tracks to play over and over again. I especially treasure the tracks featuring Margo Reymundo. What an unforgettable happy hour!
Sets quite a mood...
author: Tina AdcockThis is a brilliant CD for active or passive listening... great job Red! Additionally, the fabulous Miss Margo is spot-on and at her most down-tempo and sexy!
Magical and Mystical - Great Debut CD
author: Scott HoltonThis disc is a collection of musical magic! The songs are well written and the arrangements are terrific. Many of the tunes are a smoooooth grooooove, with delicious tastes of electronica mixed in! The tracks that incorporate the magnificent vocals of Margo Reymundo take the project to an even higher level! This CD is defintely a winner!
Phenomenal work. I love the amazing blend of sounds.
author: Randy BrownGreat work. I can't help but pick up the detail in the music and the arrangement of such a huge array of music creates an exact atmosphere of cool. I never really listened to this type of music before, but after putting on this cd, i've been listening to it every since. The rapper on the album is pretty good as well. This isn't the typical type of music you'd normally hear rap vocals on. This cd is a must have when it comes to chilling out.
You should jump in with both feet!!
author: steven paulgreat arrangements, fantastic production, and a chillin' mood. if you can't find a song you love on this CD, you're just not trying...
Couldn't be more right!!!!!
author: Justin BaragliaThis album is my new fav! I played it at my last house party and everyone loved it. Some great tracks throughout the entire album. The song Couldn't Be More Wrong... couldn't be more right! This song should be heard by everyone. I love it!
Play All Songs!!
author: Enrique RodriguezI listened from start to end...definitely no need to jump around. All the tracks flow together nicely, and keep you tuned in for more. Definitely a nice addition to my music collection.
Great!!
author: Kal DrakoVery cool sounds and songwriting. Margo sounds fantastic as always!
Music for all of my parties!
author: AngelaI can't stop listening! Pefect Chill / lounge music. On my list of holiday stocking stuffers for all my friends and family.
A Classic!
author: Nigel BroadA soon-to-be classic album in the electronica/trip-hop genre! Perfect music for a long commute, or just about anything really. Outstanding, 5 out of 5!
Great driving music!
author: JenniferYeah I was at the CD release party and they were really good live... a little more jazzy than the CD though. I picked up a copy at the show and have been playing it in my car ever since, great driving music!
Great job Red.
author: Jeremy MoserI had the opportunity to see evolve play this album live and they were just as good as the album. Amazing talent. We look forward to more albums like this.
