Production duo Potatohead People are back to light a fuse for their upcoming album Big Luxury with a double A-side single featuring Illa-J and Moka Only. The Canadian beatsmiths (aka Vancouver’s AstroLogical and Montreal’s Nick Wisdom) return to join forces with Brooklyn-based label Bastard Jazz, following the success of 2013's Kosmichemusik EP and cult hit 7-inch, as well as an onslaught of internet shaking remixes. 

"Explosives" is a smoothed out Slum Village-esque hip-hop joint featuring J-Dilla's younger brother and Yancey Boys member Illa-J trading rhymes and harmonies with Vancouver mainstay Moka Only, while "Blue Charms" shows a synthier, instrumental side of the duo with it's Prog-ish bassline, soaring vibes, and heavy drums. 

BIG LUXURY ALBUM: 

Working on opposite sides of the landmass we call Canada, Vancouver/Montreal duo Potatohead People (producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical) have been making waves for quite some time with their signature jazzy boom-bap meets boogie inside the bassbin vibes. Called a “formidable tandem” by OkayPlayer, their sounds have been championed early on by the likes of Kaytranada, Soulection, Nightmares on Wax, Pomo, Exmag, Big Boi, and Phife Dawg. After a few early releases on Vancouver based netlabel Jellyfish Recordings, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz reissued their 2012 landmark Kosmichemusik EP and pressed a 7” which quickly became a collector’s item. The association landed their song “Back To My Sh*t” (featuring Frank Nitty of Frank’n’Dank) on a Powerade produced LeBron James documentary and Nick and Astro began working on a debut LP for Bastard Jazz, presented here.

Big Luxury draws from influences disparate as classic jazz, prog rock, disco, 90’s hip-hop, DJ Shadow-Era downtempo beats, alongside modern influences like the Brainfeeder crew and new electronic movements coming out of Nick Wisdom’s adopted hometown of Montreal.  What’s resulted is a finely honed, extra buttery album that effortly glides between tempos, but never loses the mood.  The album also features a whole host of guest vocalists -  J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J, legendary Canadian MC Moka Only, New Zealand’s Sorceress, and Amalia all provide contributions to the sounds within.  The album will set the tone for the duo’s big moves this year, including forthcoming collaborations with Illa J and Pomo as well as tour dates in North America and beyond. 

Big Luxury is a velvety ride through vibes and a magnificent debut for these talented young Canadians.

Potatohead People - Explosives feat. Illa J & Moka Only

[Verse 1 – Enfolding the Whole]

We are enfolded in the universe —
every moment holds the totality. 
Like Bohm said: man is a microcosm of the whole;
what you are is clue to reality. 

I come with infinite heat,
calm blue meeting me like a friend.
Where the matter wears me thin,
that’s where awareness begins.

An envelope that dreams us,
the implicate singing the overture.
Every fold is a pattern,
every pattern is the nature of what’s sure.

[Chorus – Rhythm of the Breath]

This is the implicate breath,
a funk in the folds of time.
We breathe the hidden pattern,
we move the unseen rhyme.

Consciousness swirls in flux,
matter and mind converge. 

This is the implicate breath,
the code beneath the door.
What unfolds from us becomes us—
and becomes us even more.

[Verse 2 – Holomovement Groove]

Bohm called it holomovement—
the whole flowing unseen. 
Undivided wholeness is the ground we’ve been.
Time and space just screens,
while the deeper stream hums between.

Consciousness more implicate than matter,
yet inseparable over the chatter. 
What hides in silence
speaks in fractal song.
Every memory is enfolded,
every moment’s breath prolongs.

[Bridge – Dialogue of Being]

Thought creates our world,
then says, “I didn’t do it.”
Dialogues suspend certainty
and let the truth renew it. 

Wholeness is real—even when fragmentation seems false.
The whole responds not to us
but to our fragmented pulse. 

So take a breath here—
knowledge as law,
difference as dance,
perception as awe.

[Chorus – Rhythm of the Breath]

This is the implicate breath,
a funk in the folds of time.
We breathe the hidden pattern,
we move the unseen rhyme.

Consciousness swirls in flux,
matter and mind converge.
This is the implicate breath,
the code beneath the door.

[Verse 3 – Identity as Pattern]

Our identity isn’t solid—
it’s a signature in movement.
A wave singing itself
through the dance of improvement.

Implicate folds into explicate,
the hidden births the seen. ￼
Every part is a portal,
every moment evergreen.

We can’t see past our sight
until we see from outside.
In the implicate breath,
stillness is the ride.

[Break – Urban Quantum Jam]

Feel the funk of wholeness,
hear the hum of the grid.
What you’re living breathes the song,
what you sing is what you become.

Consciousness and carbon,
matter and mind align.
Every inhale is a weave,
every exhale is divine.

[Final Chorus – Breath Expanded]

This is the implicate breath,
where energy meets identity.
We’re both creator and created,
in holo-synchronicity.

This is the implicate breath,
the map that dreams the frame.
We are the envelope
that dreams itself aflame.


[Outro – Whispered Return]

Undivided wholeness sings,
fragmentation only sings back.
Hold the breath in both ends,
and reality brings us back.

We are the hint,
we are the pattern,
we are the breath
that folds the matter.

— The Implicate Breath.

My Love Belongs to You / Deacon Blaq/ Dreamy Rmx

So its been just over a year since Jewbei Does Price, and heres the new instalment of the Jewbei Does series. It takes me over a year to make 3 tracks... I need to sort my life out. 

This time I've remixed 3 tracks from Med & Blu's new collaboration. I don't know why I decided to try and remix Madlib beats... its too hard. 

Well anyway, hopefully you enjoy and as always the instrumentals are included only with the Bandcamp download! 

PS. I know the hook on Burgundy Whip is out of tune with the beat, I can't make beats for singing... Im just not that good.
