Maverick and mercurial UK jazz talent Sean Khan announces his upcoming BBE Music album ‘Supreme Love’ with first single ‘Starchild’, featuring vocals by Heidi Vogel and a remix from Kaidi Tatham.

Combining new arrangements of John Coltrane classics and original compositions inspired by his musical teachings, Sean Khan’s ‘Supreme Love’ is slated for release in June 2021. Opening salvo ‘Starchild’ offers up a scintillating taste of what’s to come from the project, with Khan delivering dextrous, elastic melody lines on both sax and flute over lush, evocative strings and an ultra-slick rhythm section. The piece also features heart-stopping vocals from long-time collaborator, and front-woman for The Cinematic Orchestra, Heidi Vogel.

“So Starchild is in an odd time signature: 7/4.” says Khan. “Coltrane was well known for using 7 note groupings or septuplet beat divisions, so that part is in homage to him. The lyrics are an ode to childhood. That’s when we are probably at our most creative, and the impulse to explore and create is generally lost, for a variety of reasons, when we reach adulthood. If we can retain this curiosity, then we continue to grow. Coltrane obviously retained this quality, but others of a similar sensibility like Bowie, Claude Debussy, Roberto Bolano and many others also tapped into their childhood experience. The importance of recognising the child within you and allowing it to flourish is a difficult thing. Many of us let it go but others try, so this song is in tribute to those people that try.”

Giving a subtle nod to his background in the UK Broken Beat scene with the contemporary arrangement of ‘Starchild’, Khan enlists fellow pioneer of the genre Kaidi Tatham to rework the track. Tatham’s version offers up warm electric piano chords over relaxed head-nodding beats, slowly evolving into an intricate, yet effortless, double-time bruk-up groove.

Today's premiere comes from Boogie Cafe's Mususo. Following his downtempo focused 'Friends & Family' album, BC boss Chezz puts a broken beat & house leaning spin on "Appreciate".

Chezz turns "Appreciate" into a real journey of warm, low slung chords, and skippy broken beats. The Boogie Cafe co-owner  adds elements of the original by scattering the vocal sample over the track, giving it real atmosphere.

Misuso is a talented young producer from Boogie Cafe's home town of Bristol. Released earlier this year, 'Friends & Family'  is a collection of super chilled downtempo tracks, cleverly crafted with jazz and gospel samples, reminiscent of Nightmare On Wax's Smokers Delight and Early Ninja Tunes records.

With residencies in famous Dutch clubs like Nighttown, Off-Corso and the legendary Now & Wow, Rotterdam based dj/producer Chezz has been a silent force in the night scene since the late nineties. His roots lie in hip hop, later broadening his sound to boogie, house and broken beat. Known for his uplifting, funky dj-sets and his ability to read and rock every crowd, he draws inspiration from a diverse range of musical styles. He has released broken beat and jazz infused house jams on Kolour Music, Moulton Music and of course, the Bristol-born Boogie Cafe Records of which he is co-owner.

The full digi remix EP drops on May 6 with further remixes by Sean McCabe , Piers Kirwan, and Haze City.

Joel Holmes – Into The Abyss (Kryptox 2023)
Once known as a techno city, Berlin has quietly become the capital for jazz bands in recent years. While the queues in front of the techno clubs become shorter and shorter, the city is slowly converting into a melting pot for all sorts of musicians and artists with amazing instrumentalists, producers and bands from all over the world moving to the German capital to create a new scene. As a result, Berlin has come out with some of the craziest, non-conformist types of music. Toy Tonics sister label Kryptox has started to establish itself as a key platform for this new scene.
One of the protagonists of this scene is Joel Holmes, the former band leader of Carl Craig's synthesizer ensemble and keyboarder of (Grammy-nominated) cult band Roy Hargrove. Joel Holmes’ new album ‘Into The Abyss’ is a perfect capturing of the current moment in Berlin. The album features other main players of its new scene such as Ziggy Zeitgeist from Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange, as well as tapping into international talent such as acclaimed flutist Tenderlonious from London.
Few people bridge the gap between jazz and electronic music as successfully as Holmes. Over the past years, he’s been working with some of jazz’s most relevant artists, incl. Roy Hargrove, Curtis Fuller, Javon Jackson, Nnenna Freelon, Curtis Lundy and Jimmy Cobb. Once tapped into electronic music too, he made records with legends such as Carl Craig. Working with techno artists made him curious about the new dance scene, resulting in his moved to Berlin, where he quickly started making music with the likes of Cody Currie and Kapote.
Joel describes the album in his own words as follows: "The next album "Into the Abyss" is the first time I recorded music through the lens of different landscapes and on 2 different continents reflecting the times of today’s music that is mirroring what is happening in our communities and worlds today. From dark colors to light, music is so diverse, and I tried to reflect this in my album. This is also the first time I have had this many special guests on an album. So I’m excited about this.“

Album release: 05.04.23

Joel Holmes - Broken Styles (feat. Tenderlonious and Roberto Manzin)

Love's melody, it's echoing in tones 
Every heartbeat, like a drum, it plays 
And your love's the song that fills my days 

Oh, it's the kind of groove that makes my spirit rise
Found a heavenly tune in your eyes
I'm just vibin' on this love so true
Got that sunshine in the mornin', hummin' tunes 
I can't stop singin', babe
Do you hear me, do you feel me close? 
I ain't dreamin', it's just—
You give me that kinda feelin'

Want it all the time, need it in my soul
From your touch I get high, a sweet emotion
That I can't control 
In your arms, I find my rhythm and my rhyme 
Every moment with you feels so divine 

Yeah, you make the world a symphony
With your love, baby, I'm forever free
Together we can dance through life

Now we're soaring to heights unknown 
Like a bird, on love's wind we've flown 
And no night is too dark when you're near
You bring the light, make everything clear

Oh, baby, you've got me feelin' this groove, this way 
Like a perfect note in a timeless play 
Our hearts beat in perfect harmony 
With you, love's sweet symphony 
Together, forever we'll stay 
On this melody, we'll ride away 

So let's keep this music playing
Every day and night
