slowya.roll, elmo, anbuu & Goosetaf - Typhoon

Flexi with the Disco-tech is a very jazzy and funky tune that comes from the Swedish duo Duoya. Part of their up-coming debut album titled International FM (Funk Machine). The song was written and recorded by the two musicians during the lockdown while respecting the social distancing, they were never in the same room. Sending their own recordings back and forth they still managed to make it sound like a whole band was playing the song live.
The song will transpose you on a night club during the 70’s on the lighting up disco dancing floor. Where you’ll be compelled to burst into dancing and showing off your wildest moves.

The full début album by Duoya is now available for pre-order on digital and vinyl editions.

“City Dreams”, the third single from Telemakus’ forthcoming release “The New Heritage”,  is a futuristic electronic jazz arrangement inspired by hip hop and new wave jazz. This track bounces between several sections within the composition, making for an interesting journey through sound.The track came together collaboratively, with each musician bringing their own ideas. Telemakus then shaped the pieces together for the first half, and let fellow pianist and arranger Javier Santiago take the helm for the second. Taking roughly one year to create, this track is an amalgam of ideas, progressions, and sounds distilled into a liquid drip of pure jazz funk. “City Dreams” is an epic journey that truly unfolds the last movement before the entirety of “The New Heritage” drops. 

‘The New Heritage’ , out October 13th, represents Telemakus’ lineage growing up in the jazz scene, gigging locally in the Bay Area. Being a self-taught pianist, the artist has a unique gift for harmony which evidently translates into the LP’s tracks as a continuous flow of inspiration. Having found his own sound listening to the likes of Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, DJ Harrison, and Robert Glasper, Telemakus’ has developed a deeply personal style, as he likes to define it, “off-kilter and unique”. Having written and arranged all the album’s instrumental parts, Telemakus joins forces with a host of incredible musicians to paint a series of stunning soundscapes. This is a truly special body of work and we can't wait to unveil it over the coming months.

A modern day love story might go as follows: Lukas and Jonathan, two brothers running Berlin-based label Kommerz Records, started connecting with their favorite new jazz combo Triorität via IG without any business in mind, just to find out that they grew up in the same place – often overlooked, but damn cute city of Darmstadt. 
So why not just meet up during winter holidays in their parent’s garden (social distancing was still a thing in winter 2020) to sit around a fireplace and drink wine from daddy’s stack? A perfect start for a new friendship.

Noa Erni’s extraordinary debut “The Mental Traveller” hadn’t been released at that time, but the trinity of Triorität was immediately caught by Noa’s unpretentious chord play and the idea was born to create some live interpretations of his compositions. The Swiss-born producer and wine merchant (meet him at Friedenauer Weinhandlung) produced his obscure jazz and hip-hop atmospheres as a one man band hidden away in his home studio in Berlin. Childhood friends Triorität, on the contrary, developed their “dancefloor jazz” on stage and in the rehearsal room, finessing their very own melange of 70s fusion, disco as well as modern electronics and hip-hop. With their 2020 masterpiece “ALG0” they perfectly captured the stage powerplay on a 12” record, awarded with a co-sign by Gilles Peterson.

Fast forward into 2021: Ouvo Records, the imprint run by Triorität and DJ Ion, and Kommerz Records are best label buddies and their collaboration “The Mental Traveller - Triorität Session” came to life. Three songs of Noa Erni revisited by Triorität’s Alexander Hoffmann (drums), Gerrit Ebeling (keys) and Grégoire Pignède (bass) in their very own jazz fusion madness. Recorded in summer 2021 at Il Civetto studios in Berlin-Lichtenberg by Christ Hentz a.k.a. Hentzup and mastered by Mark Pfurtscheller, the full EP will be available on all digital platforms November 19th alongside a live video of the session.

"Young at Heart" was the very first song we wrote on day #1 in Nashville, essentially kickstarting what would become Adult Contemporary. We were all strewn across Bill Reynolds' studio floor experimenting with guitar pedals and synth patches, just enjoying making noise together. We had taken some time off ahead of that trip, so 'Young at Heart' was really the catalyst to the collaborative approach we applied to the entire album. It felt very much like one of our first writing trips together in 2010, and the lyrics naturally ended up speaking to that."

Generationals - Put a Light On

“Black Rose” features vocals from Brussels born now Berlin based future-soul singer K.ZIA. It’s inspired from Berus' teeny days in the late 1990’s early 2000’s when he spent ages watching MTV and feeling delighted from the sound of the Soulaquarians.

All I’ve Ever Wanted - Be Howard 7 (Disclosure)

Berlin-based Anonymous Depressed Dogs Club is a crossroads project between Tim Granbacka and Fritjof Brandt, both hailing from Ostrobothnia, Finland. 

Reminiscent of a long forgotten forest lifestyle underneath the northern lights, the duo is refilling the void created by the lack of early 2010’s indie-pop, and Scandinavian aesthetics in the artists’ independent careers. The two friends moved to Berlin together in 2014. Fritjof Brandt (aka Axe Nylon) has mainly embarked upon the path of experimental jazz, but still found time to work with bands like Berlin based indie-rock group 1000 Gram and Swedish singer/songwriter Emma Elisabeth, whilst Tim Granbacka (aka Styleboi_92) became a busy Berlin music producer known to have worked with artists like WAYNE SNOW (Roche Musique), Noah Slee, Gimme Gimme and Mike Nasa. Tim is also the co-founder of the Cassette Head Sessions, an underground events and video series which has featured singers like Arletis, Jesper Munk, James Chatburn and Sedric Perry.

The two artists have collaborated on numerous projects throughout the years, most notably in the band of Australian singer/songwriter Michael Brinkworth.
