one of our specialties at jazzman is focusing in on the obscure and often previously slept on regional based sounds across america. this time our radar was honing in on state of virginia and its norfolk sound. many celebrated musicians have contributed to the norfolk sound, but lenis guess was probably the most active, prolific and influential showman of the soulful 60s and 70s. this collection of unique recordings captures the essence of the multi-talented entertainer, singer, songwriter, producer, arranger, band manager and label owner a calm, cool and collected quintessential music man about town.

around was the first song from same language different worlds that everybody heard. tim burgess had sent a home made cd-r to lauren laverne as soon as the record was completed and she texted asking if a song could be featured on the 6music show that morning. peter gordon and tim had spent the precious few months crafting the album in new york, norfolk & manchester - tim sent the song to pete kember and proclaimed the resultant remix as “one of the best tracks i ve ever had the pleasure of being involved with”.
with additional remixes by nik void, david cunningham and jd twitch (optimo), it’s a perfect vinyl release to celebrate the tenth rsd.

it seemed like neo ouija, a norfolk based idm imprint, had closed up shop. four years of silence suggested that founder lee norris, aka metamatics, had decided to call it a day. but looks can be deceiving. 2016 saw the boss release a cd album of fluid acid, squelching electro and heartfelt electronics. shipwrec are now bringing four choice cuts from bodypop to the vinyl faithful. proudly sitting on the difficult to define shelf, norris seamlessly shifts from frigid winter moods to warming autumnal sunshine. old-school sounds are rewired, softened by delicate keys and steady beats. machine music morphs into organic matter. acid coils, echoed bleeps and clicks grow and blossom into vivid audio vistas with metamatics, once again, proving his musical mastery

nathan fake schlug mitte der nullerjahre mit seinen releases auf james holdens label border community ein wie eine bombe. sein clubhit the sky is pink im james holden remix definierte das neue genre neo-trance. der tune wurde von den groove-lesern zum zweitbesten remix des jahres 2004 gewaehlt, das darauffolgende debuetalbum drowning in a sea of love war für das mixmag das zweitbeste album des jahres 2006. fuer steam days zog sich nathan fake aufs land in norfolk zurück und kreierte mit seinen vintage-bandmaschinen nagelneues material, das wieder sanfte,melodische genuesse mit starken dancefloor-attacken vereint, und die technische professionalitaet des produzenten erneut unter beweis stellt.

norfolk retro-futurist nathan fake returns with brand new single iceni strings: a typically bold reframing of the zeitgeist, where burbling organic synths meet a deliciously crunchy techno rattle in one glorious, exuberant pre-apocalyptic braindance.

like >the final breaths of a game boy caught in the reeds and burbling under the waters< (nme), luke abbotts >holkham drones< has been making waves in all of the right places, and now as it finally drops in your record store of choice, the ripple effect begins to spread out across the world. >holkham drones< looks set to catapult luke from his provincial norfolk outpost of the uks burgeoning electronic underground straight into critics end-of-year best-of lists, in one fell swoop.
