Taken from the album ‘Strata Records – The Sound of Detroit – Reimagined by Jazzanova’, BBE Music, DJ Amir and 180 Proof records present the 3rd single from this monumental project.

This release features remixes by Japanese Club Jazz pioneers Kyoto Jazz Massive, and Genre Blending New Yorkers, musclecars.

Kyoto Jazz Massive were enlisted to remix the Jazzanova reimagining of Sam Sanders’s iconic song Face at my Window. Their mix adds an intimate Jazz Club feel to vocalist Sean Haefeli’s recording, which highlights the dynamics of Sean’s voice. The subtle tempo increase maintains the feel of the original and adds a punch to the brass section, making the track an entirely new experience.

musclecars add that traditional New York / Chicago House vibe to Jazzanova’s reimagining of Kenny Cox’s ‘Beyond the dream’, and the result is a skippy afro/latin dancefloor filler which can go on forever. musclecars demonstrate their genre blending superpowers on this mix which adds a garage swing to a jazz record, definitely going to be a jam for the dancefloors in 2023.

Both remixes showcase the importance of DJ Amir's unearthing of these strata gems, and Jazzanova’s reimagining, how they have breathed new life into one of Detroit’s hidden gems - Strata Records. They will definitely on board new audiences to the treasure trove that is Strata, and the iconic stories surrounding the often overlooked record label.

Jazzanova - Beyond The Dream (featuring Sean Haefeli)

“First Time Caller” is a synth-R&B jam that exudes classic droptop-on-the-shoreline cool. Backed by Sofie Winterson and with tudio team member Ango on synths, UhAhUh handles lead vocal duties with true frontman swagger, while Marie Davidson recites sweet nothings like only a Montréaler can. The track is so stylishly retro, you can practically picture the antenna extending from whatever portable device Ango is calling in from. Emma-Jean Thackray’s trumpet solo on the outro adds another level of suave to this dashing display of hit-making.

Italian Academy alumni Bienoise put out an excellent LP called ‘Meanwhile, Tomorrow’ on White Forest Records at the tail end of 2015 and now he follows up this release with an EP of remixes of the opening track (including one by Waxlife, who inspired the EP concept). Fellow RBMA grad Broke One’s take on “Focus Numbers” is a sublime bit of drum & bass, utilizing warm synth pads and the original’s vocal loop to coat his drum breaks in.

‘Focus Numbers Remixed’ is out June 20 on White Forest Records: https://whiteforestrecords.bandcamp.com/album/focus-numbers-remixed-wfr037

*** ’THE SECOND BEST TIME IS NOW’—EXCLUSIVE 2019 CHARITY COMPILATION*** PLEASE DONATE -> https://tarteletrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-second-best-time-is-now

Tartelet Records is proud to present its 2019 compilation ‘The Second Best Time is Now’, featuring nine unreleased tracks from its pool of esteemed artists. This year, all proceeds will be donated to the Natural Resources Defense Counsel, one of the world’s most effective environmental action organizations. 

Ho ho ho—Tartelet Records has once again reached into its secret stash of tricks and dug out some incredible gems. Following 2016’s compilation success with all proceeds sent to Syria’s White Helmets, the 2019 Christmas release has attracted an even broader spectrum of sound from nine of the label’s most honorable artists.  

Featuring Tartelet Records’ signature eclectic mix of genres, Christmas is saved with unreleased works by Wayne Snow and digitalluc, jitwam, Space Ghost, Glenn Astro, Kasper Marott, Verner, N.O.T.E, and label head Dirk 81. Each track has been handpicked by the artist themselves to represent their unique style in support of a bold charitable cause.  

This year, the Natural Resources Defense Counsel (NRDC) has been selected as the recipient of all proceeds. As one of the world’s most prominent environmental protection organizations, it strives to protect nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations. Tartelet Records is proud to support this important mission with its exclusive end-of-year release. 

Tartelet Records’ 2019 Christmas compilation can be downloaded for free but listeners are encouraged to donate what they feel is appropriate. All donations go towards the Natural Resources Defense Counsel to support our planet’s most pressing problems. To find out more visit www.nrdc.org. 

The compilation will be available on Bandcamp December 2nd and all digital and streaming services from December 15th.

Special thanks to digitalluc, Glenn Astro, jitwam, Kasper Marott, Nelson of the East (N.O.T.E), Space Ghost, Verner, and Wayne Snow for donating their musical works, to The Emperor of Antarctica for the artwork, and Walter Coelho for mastering all tracks free of charge.
