RUMTUM returns to Bastard Jazz with a brand new remix of Captain Planet's sleeper hit "Mirage", taken from his 2023 LP 'Sounds Like Home'.  Beefing up the drums, the Denver based producer and visual artist takes the song from the desert into outer space with lush synths, dub echos, and a deep bassline, all the while keeping the catchy guitar hook from the original intact. This is one for late nights and early mornings.

After an extended hiatus, Seattle’s Grant Eadie aka Manatee Commune returns to Bastard Jazz with the first single “Faulted” from his forthcoming album. Retaining his lush and nuanced electronic sound, yet displaying considerable music growth and maturity in space and character, the track is a driving four to the floor with simple melodies hovering in harmony with the ghostly swells and breakdowns. Manatee Commune’s new album “Simultaneity” will be out worldwide in July.

POSY returns to Bastard Jazz with the atmospheric Jazz / Lo-fi Fusion track "Mount Yufu". Recorded exclusively on analog gear using all live instrumentations, the song is evocative of the late 70s sounds of Earl Klugh, Bob James and Spyro Gyra.  The song kicks off with a sprinkling of Rhodes before bringing in hand percussion and a light drum break while an understated acoustic guitar line floats besides beautiful whispering flutes from Seb Zillner weaving in and out of the track.

The soulful instrumental mastery of Cold Diamond & Mink takes center stage in this release that versions two essential tracks from their collaboration with the singer Jonny Benavidez. Both songs are lifted from the album My Echo, Shadow and Me that the group recorded together with the golden-voiced Chicano soul brother for New York’s Daptone Records.

On the A-side, you get to immerse yourself in the enchanting crossover soul beats of “My Echo, Shadow and Me”, the instrumental rendition complementing the previous gems by Benavidez and the band on Timmion Records. Flipping the record exposes another soulful groover in “Playing The Fool” that showcases Cold Diamond & Mink’s love for iconic ‘60s and ‘70s indie soul by groups like The T.S.U. Toronadoes and The Commands.

The whole My Echo, Shadow and Me LP is getting an instrumental treatment on Timmion, and this single shows that even without the vocals Jonny Benavidez’s strong influences from Texas Chicano soul shine through loud and clear.

Essen's own Glenn Astro has called his first album Throwback, and the name is at once a perfect fit and not nearly the extent of the story. On the one hand, Astro has filled the double-LP with a wealth of old-school gestures and textures—the warm whoosh of analog synths, the rattle of Rhodes tines and the sizzle of jazzy drums, all held together by the comforting glue of tape hiss and vinyl crackle. If you're used to the clean sonic lines and stylistic streamlining of so much contemporary house music, then Throwback is sure to feel less like a record you just pulled out of plastic wrap than a well-seasoned one salvaged from a flea market or unfinished basement.

And yet like so many Tartelet releases—particularly the label's last two full-lengths, Max Graef's Rivers of the Red Planet and Uffe's Radio Days—it feels fresh and keenly contemporary no matter how vintage the fabric. Rather than throw back to any one moment, he's given us a collage of styles that's quite literally timeless. Astro makes brilliant work of his influences, drawing on hip-hop, house, funk and soul in such equal measure that it's hard to argue that one impulse dominates the other. The sound certainly flirts with the dance floor, with Astro applying high-pressure deep house pads on the title cut, gliding on shimmering keys for "One For Viktor," and taking us on a vibraphone-fueled workout with "Kilometer Disco," one of a pair of cuts featuring Max Graef. But Astro obviously relishes the time he spends on the sidelines absorbing the atmosphere, or at home head-nodding to the dustiest corners of his record collection. For every house beat you hear, you'll also dip into juicy, 90’s-style beat science, toasty ambience and buttery chord progressions. Expertly paced but never hustling you along, Throwback begs to be heard as a whole but explored at your own easy pace—a record for hazy mornings-after, vibey nights in and endless summer afternoons.
