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.

quinzy pres his new >not only house< ep

limited rsd 2021 release on transparent red vinyl.

after their self-titled debut in 2017, cuban-iranian quartet ariwo are back with a new longplayer. for fans of: ndagga, burnt friedman, moritz von oswald trio, yussef kamaal, daphni, strut records, on the corner records

the shakedown is the debut album from tenderlonious and features a new band - the dream team of top talent he named the 22archestra, who he leads seamlessly throughout. listeners are exposed to the full breadth of tender s technical and compositional skills, ranging from subtly meandering jazz, to hip-hop, afrobeat, latin and exhilarating free form jazz.

very happy to have henry wu and earl jeffers debuting on mcde recordings this fall with their double sider -projections/hi-life-. both pablo valentino and myself have been fans of their work, be it henry and earls solo stuff or the highly adventurous yussef kamaal project which henry introduced 2 years ago. these guys take the london sound to a whole new level and we are very proud to have them doing their thing on our label.

repress without cover , the sound of 2020 is new jazz and old funk with an electronic city pace, brought to you by duo the colours that rise. made up of multi-instrumentalists and producers simeon jones and nathanael williams, their 2020 ep is a confident guide through future sounds and past histories from a time yet to come. created using analogue synths and acoustic instruments, the 4 track ep works as the score to a yet to be created animation. nathanael s background is creating soundtracks for films, while simeon plays with uk jazz prophets yussef kamaal and featured on henry wu’s ‘negotiate’ 12”. providing groove for the dancer and hidden meanings for the listener, 2020 is plugged in to the pulse of uk dancefloors and the resurgence of funk audiences. with their fusion sound, the colours that rise are another welcome addition to the new ‘uk jazz invasion’ alongside their friends and colleagues yussef kamaal and the comet is coming. 2020 is an experimental electronic voyage that emerges from the ambient and arrives on the dance floor. .

henry wu (aka kamaal williams of yussef kamaal) returns to eglo records following on from his joint ep with k15. deep in the mudd is a heavy weight 6 track ep which journeys through broken beat, house, hip hop and jazz. the previously released negotiate ft. simeon jones, which originally came out on eglo sister label hotep, gets a 2017 remix courtesy of the legendary kaidi tatham and uk funky og hardhouse banton joins wu on title track deep in the mudd and century. essential business, no messing about!

we dont know much about domenique dumont, nor do the guys at antinote. in fact, they dont seem to care: they just came across the artists music and decided to release it. its perfectly inspired dubby pop brightness, a rare thing! tip!
