in 2017, the finnish jazz scene seems to bubble with talent. one of the most prominent players in this mix is by definition, trumpeter jukka eskola. after over a decade of adventures in different spaces of jazz – from the dance floor burn of the five corners quintet to the raw expressive modes of mikko innanen’s small big band, jimi tenor’s cosmic jazz and his own prime cti styled solo recordings – eskola takes things back to bare basics. and as usual, when it’s done right, it’s the best thing out there.

ponds ungezügelte kreativität hat die band bereits in der vergangenheit die weiten des psychedelic-rocks ergründen lassen. mit dem neuen album -the weather- haben sie nun eine scharfe und fokussierte platte geschaffen, eine atemberaubende absichtserklärung, die über marathon artists (courtney barnett, jagwar ma) erscheinen wird. -the weather- bündelt einige der poppigsten momente des quartetts aus perth, welches mit der gewohnten neigung zum abstrakten und zur experimentierfreude auftritt. mit dem köstlichen duft der romantischen erwartung und der synthie-raffinesse nimmt sich der song des patentierten space-rocks der band an und suggeriert ein gefühl, als wäre er aus einer trevor horn blaupause entsprungen. wie der vorgänger wurde auch -the weather- von kevin parker (tame impala) in dessen studio in perth produziert. doch während -man, it feels like space again- einen rohen blick auf die garage-infizierte psyche ponds warf, ist -the weather- eine ehrgeizige, technicolore odyssee in der entwicklung der band.

in mid-seventies, nigerian bands came and went with alarming regularity, rising meteorically from the slums to stardom and falling back again just as quickly. masisi mass funk from anamara state was one such band. but during their brief moment in the stratosphere, they produced a funk gem in i want you girl.

the self-proclaimed funkiest band on the west coast of africa, the heads funk band, could arguably make that claim for the whole continent. featuring the slick guitar of felix ‘feladey’ odey, the slinky drumming of eddie offeyi and the swirling keyboard chops of kevin ‘fortune’ coburn, nobody was funkier. and that’s not even taking into account the dance floor monsters they were releasing at the same time as akwassa.

sounding like something to come out of solar records in 1984, love on hold embraces aeroplanes typically exquisite attention to detail, resulting in a perfect blend of disco, 80s funk and boogie. love on hold also features one of the greatest backing vocalists of our time, tawatha agee who was also the voice of legendary funk band mtume, singing on their 1983 classic juicy fruit. the credentials of tawathas richly poised voice coupled with aeroplanes flawless composition make love on hold unmissable. after a digital release which reached overall traxsource 1, the extended mix of aeroplanes instant classic is now being made available on 12inch, along with an extended instrumental, accapella and two edits from the master of disco re-rubs, dimitri from paris. both extended versions, dimitris instrumental and re-touch explore the versatility of the track for dj use

the mixtapers are an italian band focused on a dynamic, live funk and hip hop sound. following an appearance on sonar kollektiv last year with the we so good 12inch, they ve been chosen to inaugurate bakerboy s agnis music label with this effervescent ep. the title track on sun metaphors uses blissful rhodes keys as the focal point for a sunkissed slice of vocal deep house, while smokey reflection takes a more punchy approach to the drums while maintaining the woozy mood. trinity kicks off the b-side with some squelchy electro funk stylings, and then sara lima lends her vocal tones to downtempo cruiser stay (away from me)

nach zwei gefeierten eps veröffentlicht jackson phillips a. k.a. day wave sein langerwartetes debütalbum the days we had. headcase aus dem jahr 2015 mit der durchbruch-single drag überzeugte sofort mit dem träumerischen surfpop, der nachfolger »hard to read« legte noch eine schippe drauf. inspiriert von den gesangsharmonien der beach boys auf der einen und den songstrukturen von joy division und den frühen new order auf der anderen seite, nahm der sänger und multiinstrumentalist die ersten skizzen ganz analog an gitarre, bass und schlagzeug auf.
jetzt folgt also die erste lange platte von phillips musikalischem soloprojekt. obwohl phillips sich selbst als seinen größten kritiker betitelt, hat er das album nur mit unterstützung des toningenieurs mark ranken fast im alleingang eingespielt und produziert. so entstanden elf wunderschöne songs mit gitarrenbasierter melodieführung und voller elektronischer tiefe und wärme. live wächst dieses soloprojekt zu einer band. zusammen mit seinen musikern erzeugt der kalifornier mit seiner weichen und gleichzeitig sehr eingängigen stimme und seinem lässigen charme eine zauberhafte stimmung. die melancholisch-melodiösen songs zünden sofort, wenn phillips und seine jungs auf der bühne stehen.

onboard having come up with an annual-ish drop of 12inches since 2010, even brenden aka chmmr set aside the spring of 2016 to challenge himself to a new format: a full-length album. a true nostalgic, he uses compass point-era and early italo sounds for inspiration and attempts to simulate these styles. this makes for a melodic, chuggy and graphic album that belongs a little more in the living room than on the dance floor. with 10 tracks of dusty rhythms and the honest, naive and spacious themes that is brendens signature, its a record designed to signal that todays technological future may not be as different as yesterdays. features a nice-looking cover painting drawn by the late harold cohens aaron program - automation at its finest. hidden behind his chmmr moniker is even brenden, whose summery debut found its way into the world via norwegian psych-disco label luna flicks in 2010. the record became somewhat of a soughtafter item and after making pit stops at relish, dødpop and untz untz records, he landed on prins thomas full pupp in 2014 and have stayed put ever since, all the while enjoying a steady habit of record jocking and the occasional keyboard duty in telephones now-defunct live band. even resides in oslo makes odd waves without vowels.

perhaps megalodon collective’s description of themselves is the most straightforward ... “sixty feet of prehistoric terror”.
yet that doesn’t quite capture what this norwegian grammy-nominated septet unleashes upon the world. their compositions and improvisations build with slow majesty and release a fiery rain of sonic chaos. contrapuntal insanity creates illusions of order, while high urgency solos and lizard rhythms create illusions of disorder. they seamlessly leap from sounding like the mingus dynasty band trapped on a star cruiser with controls set for the heart of the sun to the pit orchestra from hell performing the soundtrack to a keystone cops movie directed by quentin tarantino.

it’s hard to imagine being at the cutting edge of electronic dance music for over three decades, and never resorting to cliché or tired gimmicks in order to create unique and forward thinking music, but matthew herbert is still channelling original and thought provoking ideas into his projects all these years later. via his accidental record label, he has always excelled at left of centre productions, and through a variety of genre aliases (including doctor rockit, wishmountain and the matthew herbert big band), his imagination has always run wild, resulting in an infectious catalogue of music over the years. “brand new love-, featuring the vocals of rising star, zilla, finds herbert creating a dense and dramatic bass heavy cut. a steppers beat, utilizing herbert’s trademark sampling techniques, it’s a killer cut with sweeping cinematic qualities that sounds head and shoulders ahead of the rest. special request, the jungle heavy arm of paul woolford’s many recording talents, is enlisted to put his breakbeat spin on the original, and turns in an absolutely lethal version, choppy breaks, spinbacks and booming subs come with intent, whilst a sumptuous string arrangement accompanies zilla’s vocal for a truly uplifting spirit. “the peacock-, with its loose beats and opaque stabs, rolls along with its industrial undertones and ravey motif, discordant at times but a truly hypnotizing but in the finest of side b1 traditions. bringing up the rear, “cheekbone” is frenetic and charging micro tribal rave (a new genre classification right there), a glorious medley of percussion, earworm synths and guillotined vocal samples, showing just why matthew herbert is as vital an artist now as he has ever been.

der in texas geborene rhythmus- und bluesgitarrist melvin sparks war einer der großen des soul-jazz. melvin spielte mit lou donaldson, leon spencer, bernard purdie, jack mcduff, jimmy mcgriff, idris muhammad, dr. lonnie smith, charles earland, grover washington jr., reuben wilson und so vielen mehr. auch in den leisesten jahren des soul-jazz blieb melvin durch hip-hop und r&b aktuell. diese veröffentlichung dokumentiert melvins letzte band, nur wenige monate vor seinem tod. der organist beau sasser und schlagzeuger bill carbone arbeiteten seit einigen jahren mit sparks zusammen. die tracks auf diesem album, liebevoll gemischt von gitarrist, produzent und melvin sparks-fan eddie roberts, zeigen, dass melvin auch in den letzten monaten seines lebens wie zu jeder zeit spielte.

tanzbarer indie-rock von einem newcomer-trio aus london.
das junge trio little cub aus london genießt in seiner heimatstadt den ruf, einer der aufregendsten newcomer der stadt zu sein. gepflegt subversive bescheidenheit, opulente und bewegende elektronsiche einflüsse ganz im einklang mit dem hausgemachten, progressiven brit pop feeling. so versteht sich das trio auch als kontrastmittel zu der oft geistlosen pop musik, die sie sonst umgibt. mit ihrem gesellschaftsblick sind sie zusätzlich auch die band für eine post-brexit party: politisch, melancholisch, ernüchtert, anti-aktionistisch. und trotzdem geladen. so erzählt das debütalbum still life vom leben in london der 2010er jahre, von menschlichen niederlagen, gesellschaftlichen tragödien, nächten in clubs und tagen in buchhandlungen. dazwischen kommt und geht die liebe mit den gezeiten.
schwarze heavyweight lp mit achtseitigem booklet und mp3-downloadkarte inklusive bonus remixen.

what is amateur space jazz? one could call it a lo-fi minimal wavish version of cosmic space jazz and anything closely related to it...from spiritual soul, g-funk, ethiopian jazz to ambient and everything in between...no knowledge of musical theory is required...played with a d.i.y punk approach on crappy digital synthesizers - preferably with dubious renditions of real instruments. warmed up to the right temperature with some offbeat effectsbox. multitracking is a technique widely used...to create a one person band with all its members oneselfs multidimensional copies in time........comes with a 24 page graphic novel written and drawn by danny wolfers himself and a nightwind amateur space jazz gummy domed sticker.......lets enter world of amateur space jazz!!!

in early 1978, vincent ahehehinnou left the orchestre poly-rythmo de cotonou without explanation. he had been one of their principal vocalist since 1968 and had helped transform them from a hard-charging nightclubband into a musical powerhouse and africa-wide sensation. by the end of 1977, after an explosive performance at the pan-african arts and culture festival (festac77) in lagos, the band had reached the very pinnacle of their success.
for nearly forty years, the reasons behind vincent’s sudden departure have remained a mystery. until now. in an interview included with analog africa’s new reissue of best woman – vincent’s first post-poly-rythmo album, which has been out-of-print for close to four decades and nearly impossible to find outside west africa – the great singer finally breaks his silence. he didn’t leave … he was pushed.

high-energy, rowdy, raucous, longhair mississippi glam rock. that’s the sound of easy, the week’s long-awaited followup to their breakthrough album, dear bo jackson. recorded at ardent studios in memphis, easy finds the weeks doubling down on a mix of groove, grit, and guitars. it’s swaggering and sharply-focused, shining new light on a band of brothers who, although still in their mid-20s, have already logged a decade’s worth of sweaty gigs together. easy consolidates the band’s strengths, it’s driving and direct, captured in punchy sound by producer paul ebersold. “we called it easy because every time i make music with these guys, it’s easy,” says cain, who has spent more than a third of his life as a member of the weeks. “but the other side of it is, there’s nothing easy about being in a band... we have the easiest job on the planet. but it works for us.”

we are very much excited to support this re-issue, credited by jacob f. desvarieux, a composer and also well known as the guitarist of kassav - the only-one band which continually embodies the word zouk- for last few decades. a1 is the tune showing us psychedelic guitar phrases fused together with wobbling heavy synthesizer. you’d better hurry to get the copy for this song, since this is just simply a killer. besides it, a2 is also a tropical danceable tune with moving bass and impressive vocoder chorus, makes everyone literally -emotional- on the floor. kuniyuki joins with more deep spacey re-edit on the b side, probably we need few words to describe this man in our bio because of his right craftsmanship. following re-issue could be expected from us in near future. grab one and find yourself in caribbean exotica!
