Release Text:
Since he made his debut three years ago with sun-soaked first album Warm Nights, Reuben Vaun Smith has grown and evolved as an artist. His aims, objectives and musical output have changed, too – something that’s evident from the opening bars of his third full-length, Da Cuckoo Ya Ya, which also marks his first appearance on Californian institution Ubiquity Records.

Whereas the summery and colourful Warm Nights was the result of time spent teaching himself music and production, not to mention over a year of daily recording, Da Cuckoo Ya Ya was recorded in less than two months. It not only showcases Smith’s sharpened musicianship and his growing love of Eastern exoticism and wide-eyed psychedelia, but also features guest spots from friends (and fellow Leeds locals) Sakura Murakami (a guitarist who also featured on 2021’s Sounds From The Workshop album), bassist Nial Deravairere (on deliciously dubbed-out and hazy closing cut ‘Beams’) and vocalist Lucy Saddler.

While it shares some sonic similarities with its predecessors – not least a greater reliance on live instrumentation and plenty of audible nods towards Malian musical culture – Smith’s new set is his most confident and dynamic yet, with the Leeds-based producer consciously moving closer to the dancefloor whilst polishing his productions further and showcasing all he’s learned to date.

Smith sets the tone with funky and flash-fried opener ‘Da Cuckoo Ya Ya’, a superbly summer-ready statement of intent rich in flanged psych-funk guitar licks, vintage synth riffs and loose-limbed drums, before subtly doffing a cap to highlife on the peak-time-ready dancefloor celebration of ‘Mama’. By the time ‘Oumbadougou’ settles in to its stride in a wave of effects-laden guitars, polyrhythmic breakbeats, lilting violin lines and dusky early evening textures, you’ll be hooked.

The album is peppered with smile-inducing highlights, from the kaleidoscopic nu-disco/Afro-disco fusion of bona fide dancefloor jam ‘The Waxing Gibbous Moon’, the synth-sporting gorgeousness of ‘Mali’ and the explosion of keys solos, psych guitars and nods to Middle Eastern musical culture that is driving club cut ‘Milano Caravan’, to the hot-stepping, piano-sporting bounce of ‘No Puedo Esperar’ and the immersive, percussive and vividly colourful ‘Help Me Ride’. Then there’s triumphant closing cut ‘Beams’, a chugging, Afro-cosmic masterpiece of the sort more often associated with Daniele Baldelli and Marco Dionigi.

There’s no needlessly clever concept here, just ten killer cuts, expertly imagined and executed, that perfectly encapsulate the evolution and quality of Reuben Vaun Smith’s attractive trademark sound. It’s the sound of an artist who is not only comfortable in his sonic skin, but also laying the foundations of a long and fruitful musical career.

Da Cuckoo YaYa

PREMIERE: Reuben Vaun Smith - Beams [Ubiquity Records]

This is an idea I was working on a few months that I composed & recorded starting with a layered #BossaNova beat, an upright bass part, a unison then harmonic background vocalese pad arrangement, grand piano, percussion, and a rhythm guitar part (all played on keys), but what I really needed was a REAL #Brasilian guitarist! When I met the amazing Ricardo Barros in #SaoPaulo, #Brazil at a private jam session, I knew we had to connect and there was definitely musical magic! He recorded some takes for my track and voila! An instant classic–at least for my repertoire! 😉


Released February 23, 2023 on ahmedsirour.com and March 1, 2023 on Bandcamp. More platforms to come.

Bastard Jazz is proud to present the brand new album 'Th3rd" from Fukoka, Japan based producer Brisa. Having been co-signed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Lefto, Danny Krivit, Toshio Matsuura and more,his production is forward thinking, hard to pin down electronic music for the headphones and the dancefloor. The album leads off with "Cloudnine" with it's heavy drums, synth stabs,analog bassline, swirling vocoder bits and ghostly voices drifting in and out, while album single "Behind The Veil" is on first listen evocative of a grittier Floating Points but invokes Footwork vibes, jazz keys, strings and female R&B vocal snippits. "New Way" moves into deeper and atmospheric acid house territories, while "DLMD" brings in elements of funk & soul through it's relentless percussion break and Rhodes interludes. All in all on "Th3rd" Brisa has created an intricate, well thought out world where genre remains submissive to style - whether it's downtempo, deep house, drum'n'bass, or lo-fi beats the sound remains uniquely his own. 

Fukuoka based DJ and Producer, BRISA started his career in 1997 influenced by Acid Jazz and House music and began producing in 2004 and has been releasing worldwide in the UK, US, Germany, France and Italy garnering Kudos from the likes Jazzanova, Danny Krivit, Joe Claussell, DJ Yellow, Tom Middleton, Gilles Peterson, Lefto to just name a few.

BRISA released his debut album ‘Elevation Perception’ on Geneon Entertainment, with cross-genre collaborations with Monday Michiru and Paul Randolph and more. After a huge success on his debut release - he played at the massive ‘Tokyo Crossover Jazz Festival’ in 2012 and then had a string of releases on renowned labels like Jazzy Sport, Reverse, Best Of Records which received great supports from Lefto, Simbad, Kev Beadle, Kyoto Jazz Massive, Toshio Matsuura, Cosmopolyphonic and more. 

Currently he runs the party ‘NXTDOOR’ in Tokyo

THE OFFICIAL SOUNDCLOUD ACCOUNT FOR AHMED SIROUR

Well, after having many tracks on Soundcloud, include various remixes that were up for years without any issue, SC started throwing strikes at me left and right, even with those I had proof I had permission to post, but they decided to take down my former page: (at)22music, inclusive of the thousands of wonderful followers who've joined me over the years.

So now I start back from the very beginning, the ground up, and hopefully many of you will find me again as well as newcomers who are hearing my work for the first time--and this time it will only be MY original work (or remixes that are verified)! lol Either way, I hope you take yet another journey again with me as I push the envelope with even more music, more positive vibrations, and more influences from around the world as I infuse my travels into my sounds...
