Busy People are Ali Sharif and Martin Riha. Ali Sharif is deeply rooted in hip hop and soul, while synthesizer expert Martin Riha is more into electronic music in all its forms. They both teamed up and the Busy People project was born. Soulful chords, complexe drum programming, freaky basslines and solid songwriting is what the Busy People universe is all about. It´s the mixture that really defines their sound. After releasing their debut 12 inch "The City" on Sunshine in summer 2006, it´s time for the Busy People to drop their full length album entitled "Never Too Busy". The outcome is a diverse mixture of styles, ranging from nu soul to broken beat, uptempo and even jazz influenced tracks. Guest vocalists include Aminata and Yann (who both appear on several tracks), Justin Chapman a.k.a. Just One (Kemetic Just), Jen (Poets Club), Lai Chaun (Karuan) and newcomers Lisa C. and B-Zar. "Someday", "Waste my Time" and "Bling Bling" are tasty and laidback soul pearls. But You will also discover more club/uptempo type of songs, including "The City" pt.1 and pt.2, the fierce "Make It Happen" or " Get Out" where the Busy People collaborate with the highly gifted Justin Chapman well known for his features with Reeclose, Isoul8 or Deetron. On "Final Words" poetry meets electronics with spoken word artist JEN. While "Everything Changes" and "Never Too Busy" prove that you don´t always need vocals to get the message across. The Busy People´s debut is all about down to earth and versatile street-soul with an attitude.
