aufgewachsen in london mit jungle, grime und broken beats, ist der jazz-ansatz von yussef dayes und kamaal williams (aka henry wu) geprägt durch den bass-sound der piratensender, ähnlich wie die us-kollegen robert glasper oder kamasi washington hip hop in ihre musik einfließen lassen. weitere inspirationen auf yussef kamaals debütalbum ist der freiheitliche anything-goes-spirit des 1970er jazzfunk eines herbie hancock oder mahavishnu orchestra, während ihr pianospiel an thelonious monk und ihr drumprogramming an kaidi tatham angelehnt ist.

boom bip was one of the canniest underground beat producers around before he hooked up with gruff rhys of super furry animals to create the fascinating neon neon project, which took as its focus automaker john delorean and what his car (and charisma) meant to the 80s. bbs return to the solo realm finally came on 2011s zig zaj, which has more in common with neon neon than with his early solo joints. (features for cate le bon and franz ferdinands alex kapranos, among others, certainly fit in.) as always, its impeccably produced - hollon has only gained in proficiency and maturity as a producer. but compared to seed to sun or blue eyed in the red room, whose fascination with sound was positively contagious, zig zaj sounds like an overly safe record, the type that most producers would avoid if they wanted to keep innovating. heavily influenced by rock and 80s new wave, similar to neon neons stainless style, its impressions are largely textural, and as talented a producer as boom bip has become, zig zaj sounds more like a rehash than the entirely new recipe that music fans are undoubtedly looking for.
for over a decade mark grusane & mike cole have been a vast music resource for djs, producers, collectors, rare music compilers, and specialty stores around the world. they started individually, each with their love of music. they traded and sold music with those -in the know- for years. in 2004 mark & mike focused their energies into founding mr. peabody records. the business plan and mission was to become a world class resource for all genres of obscure music. until now, their focus has been growing the shop. but the soul of mr. peabody records does not reside in the bricks and mortar the store, or even in the bins of records themselves. the real genius lies in mark & mikes unique ear for music.

unbelievable deep and driving techno sound of the first hour. this 4 tracker from r.m.k. shows where techno should be. in the here and now, without exaggeration, without bling bling and without polarization. r.m.k. utilises his knowledge and past experiences, which include regularly playing at berghain and tresor in berlin, as well as fabric in london, to develop his individual sound. during his more than 20 year career in music, he has formed friendships and worked in partnership with other respected artists such as trevino (marcus intalex), jamie anderson, robert owens, goldie and nastia. although the focus is always on the very heart of the most raucous of raves, r.m.k never shies away from groove and funk. this is conveyed in a live show that utilises classic hardware from the golden age of uk rave.
