Experimental Jazz

Memory doesnʼt age, it always remains the same.
 
“Memoria” is an album about my memories, my hometown, the scent and flavours of my childhood, things Iʼve read, movies Iʼve watched at the cinema and my love for music. Itʼs about going back home, re-establishing a link with the past and recalling cheerful and happy memories.
“Memoria” refers specifically to the regions of Minais Gerais and the Brazilian northeast, its hot climate, the religiousness of the people and its faith in miracles, calling to mind images of mysterious and surreal popular tales, where time flows slowly in an intimate dimension.

DJ KRUSH 20th Anniversary Project "Monthly Single Series" #10 (Available on 27th June'12) 

The monthly single release cuts that commenced last September as a project commemorating the 20th anniversary of KRUSH’s solo career, unlike his strictly conceptual albums, is a series of tunes, each with its own concept, and gives a freedom to go for various looks and flavas that push boundaries further out in depicting his world of sounds even more precisely. And here comes the last shot of this series, a tune that’s been integrated into his live set a lot, creating a buzz amongst his fans around the globe. It’s quite fast in tempo compared to other KRUSH tunes, but has those distinctive “in-between spaces,” “phatness,” “roughness,” and “depth” co-existing to complete his world & wrap up this phase of the project.

So this series sees its end after 10 tunes (10 long months), and needless to say, the countdown to the long-long awaited new album has begun (the album will basically be totally different from the tunes in this serial project). Details tba. A new chapter begins, and you are far from leaving your eyes off of DJKRUSH. 

ソロ活動２０周年プロジェクトとして、昨年９月よりスタートしたマンスリー・シングル・シリーズ。アルバムの様に大きなテーマに基づいての曲構成ではなく、それぞれの曲ごとに単体のコンセプトを持ち合わせ、曲調やカラーなども曲毎に良い意味で自由にまとめあげることにより、現在のDJ KRUSHの様々な世界感を余すことなく提示してきたこの企画もいよいよ完結を迎える。本シリーズの最後を飾るのは、ここ数年、高い確立でプレイリストにも組み込まれ、各所で問合せや反響の大きな１曲。KRUSH作品の中では比較的アップテンポな曲調だが、独特の"間"や"厚み"、"荒さ"、"深み"が同居するKRUSHならではの世界感が詰まった作品となった。

本作を含めて１０曲(１０カ月)に渡り続いてきた本シリーズもこれにて完結を迎え、いよいよ待望のソロアルバム(基本的には本シリーズ楽曲陣とは全く違う内容を予定)へのカウントダウンが始まった。詳しい情報は随時発表される予定。新たな章の幕開けとともに、まだまだDJ KRUSHから目が離せない。

Awesome private press modern soul/disco cut from Spaceark, not featured on any of their albums. Vocal and instrumental versions, cut loud.

‘Don’t Stop’ is another one of those private press treasures from a dynamic group of musicians seizing the moment and making magic at Sunset Sound studios in LA.

This 45 features soaring lead vocals of Dolly Way and was also released as 'Dolly Way & Space Ship Earth – Don't Stop’ on Color World – using the same catalogue number – in 1976, but this ‘Spaceark’ version is harder to find now.

A big, big record! We are very excited to release it.

Formed back in the heady days of 1987 at the start of the ‘acieed’ explosion, Acid Jazz was the first of the groundbreaking new indie labels and paved the way for the likes of Mo Wax, Wall Of Sound and Talkin' Loud…

Initially a simple bedroom operation established by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson, within three months of the first 45 release (Galliano’s Frederic Lies Still), the label had grown rapidly, acquired premises in London’s east end and laid out a unique manifesto of alternative club sounds – jazz, street-soul, funk, latin, reggae and jazz poetry all put in an early appearance. Galliano, Chris Bangs, The Night Trains, The Last Poets, A Man Called Adam and Snowboy & The Latin Section were amongst the first wave of label signings and they all appeared live at groundbreaking jazz themed nights at London clubs like the WAG in Soho and Camden’s legendary Dingwalls.





By ’89, Peterson had left the label to establish his own Talking Loud imprint and Piller soon moved the operation to Denmark Street, London’s original Tin Pan Alley, into the former EMI music office. The next wave of signings included D Influence, Jamiroquai and The Brand New Heavies. Chart success quickly followed as the label spread its numerous tentacles around the world. The sound of the label became the name of choice for the scene that had established in its wake and by the early ’90s, Acid Jazz was booming out of a succession of speakers from Sweden to Singapore, Hamburg to Hobart, Shibuya to Sheffield and everywhere in between. International tours followed as the label expanded through the 90′s, gradually increasing their musical influences to include daisy-age hip hop, garage psyche and trip hop.





By the mid-90′s Acid Jazz had revived the careers of legends like Terry Callier, Brian Auger and Gregory Isaacs, established three subsidiaries (Focus, All Seeing Eye and Roots to cater for progressive indie, drum and bass and roots and culture respectively) and signed yet another wave of successful independent artists which included the likes of Corduroy, Mother Earth, The Humble Souls, Goldbug and a dozen more.





In 1994, the label took the plunge and opened the first ‘non-house’ based night club in London. Based on the site of the Bass Clef, a down-at-heel and eventually semi-derelict jazz club in Hoxton – perched precariously amidst the second world war bomb sites, derelict buildings and culture-free zone, the club was credited with paving the way for the whole Hoxton/Shoreditch explosion of the late nineties. Indeed, the club was rarely less than full seven nights a week hosting events from the likes of Goldie’s Metalheads, Talvin Singh, Coldcut, Ab-ashanti, Athletico and the label’s own Magic Bus. The Blue Note closed its doors at the end of the decade and Acid Jazz went back to what they do best: releasing records.

Jumping forward to 2014 and we find the label firmly ensconced in their office at the top of Brick Lane and after celebrating their 25th Anniversary the label is as vibrant and vital as ever. The current roster includes the critically acclaimed, prog folk fusions of Matt Berry, new indie hopefuls Dexters, the soul meet the Streets stylings of New Street Adventure and ex Bluetones lead singer Mark Morriss, whilst the highly acclaimed Rare Mod series has discovered and released previously unknown works by everyone from The Riot Squad featuring David Bowie to the Small Faces Steve Marriott.

In short after over a quarter of a century Acid Jazz remains one of the UK’s most important independent labels.
