Schmooze Deluxe

Create the perfect cocktail hour at your place.

Keeping to a mellow vibe of chilled melodic and rhythmic sounds, these original compositions make for a journey ranging from trip hop, funk, soul, disco & electronica through to roots, contemporary pop, blues, jazz and cabaret.

Co-Produced by Phillip Jones and Ashley Feraude, the songs are all original compositions by Canberra artists and have been carefully chosen to take the listener on a harmonious and chilled groove journey.

The CD also features exclusive cocktail recipes from two of Australia's best cocktail lounges, hippo bar and the julep lounge, so you can create your very own Schmooze atmosphere at home!

“Schmooze Deluxe will probably make its way to bars around the world as the perfect atmospheric soundscape to sip martinis by.” Jorian Gardner, Arts Editor,Canberra Review
