Bosq’s “Paciencia De Jo,” off his well-received Bosq Y Orquesta De Madera album was arguably its most played and talked about track. The Tropicalia-inspired sound backed by Brazilian chanteuse Tita Lima was the perfect song for the summer. Looking to keep the fall season at bay, Tall Black Guy drops a Brazil-by-way-of-Detroit remix ensuring a few more days of sunshine. Instrumentals for both original and remix are also included.

Globe-trotting beatmaker Captain Planet returns to soundsystems worldwide with his hotly anticipated sophomore album Esperanto Slang, a transformative LP which further illuminates the “Gumbo Funk” producer’s fluency in breaking boundaries between genres and bridging continents through rhythm. Steeped in finely-tuned collaborations with artists from across the map, the album documents the Captain’s continued musical travels in the wake of his critically-acclaimed 2011 debut album Cookin’ Gumbo and subsequent ‘Mystery Trip’ beat-tape (heralded “Best Music of 2012” by Sasha Frere-Jones in The New Yorker). 

Led by the smashing Latin-House single “Un Poquito Mas” featuring Spanish lyrics from fellow international beats don Chico Mann(Soundway), the album also finds Captain Planet traveling South to join forces with esteemed Argentinian electronic chanteuse La Yegros (ZZK) on “Que Quiero Volver”, as well as Brazilian artists Samira Winter and Nevilton on the Samba heater “Tudo de Bom”. Jumping to the motherland, “Safaru” showcases the Sudanese vocalist and NPR darling Alsarah’s soaring Arabic vocals, with horn arrangements by L.A. brass legend and Kelis’s bandleader Todd Simon. A banging Bachata-infused club anthem “Perdido en el Excesso” further weaves a transcontinental thread with the help of Berlin-based rapper Paco Mendoza, while the crushing reggae vibes of the album’s 7-inch single “In The Gray” brings the islands to the West Coast with the help of soul singer Brit Laurén backed by horns from supergroup The Lions (Ubiquity). 

Throughout the entire album, border-crossing collaborations on both vocal and instrumental tracks seamlessly translate the musical synergies between global dancefloor cultures. Blending a wide range styles from NY hip-hop, UK bass and Turkish psychedelic, to Nigerian afrobeat and Amazonian funk, Esperanto Slang demonstrates that Captain Planet’s trademark sound has matured into a truly unique form of electronic music, connecting scenes and languages worldwide through his mellifluous sonic thesaurus.

As heard on Spike Lee's 'She's Gotta Have It' season 2 (episode #8, 2019)

 
Lyrics:

Mom worked two jobs to make sure we had
She never took a day off, even though she can
Long days and nights, she never cried in our face
When you lead by example, you do it with grace

Help me find a healthy way out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my mind

"If this world is mine, I design this world,"
said a young black boy and girl
Did we come from the sun, or beyond the skies?
What will become of the young black mind?

Father had problems, he lived on his own
Stepfather became father, choice of his own
He’d tell me stories about wars between Egypt and Rome
He said there’s loves in these projects, but the rest of the globe -
you must know, you must go as far as you can go

Help me get healthy and get out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my mind

"If this world is mine, I design this world,"
said a young black boy and girl
Did we come from the sun, or beyond the skies?
What will become of the young black mind?

As far as you can go…

Help me get me healthy and get out of here
Somewhere safe where I can save my babies and my mind
Living in this system that wasn’t designed for you at all
From the moment you’re born, till the moment that you fall

She said "I can’t give you much, but I’ll do what I can
One day you’ll be a family man, you’ll understand"
Life moves so fast, the future becomes the past
The day becomes the memory that barely lasts

But I have to thank you
You gave me everything that I needed to survive,
to survive...
And I know you’re watching

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.

A smidgen of geographical context for you then. The Trans Mara District was a former, standalone region in the former Rift Valley province of Kenya before merging with the neighbouring Narok county in 2010. Its a place that Charif Megarbane - an über-talented Lebanese multi-instrumentalist - really bonded with. So much so that Trans-Mara Express has become one of his many monikers for dipping into the cultured pot that is East Africa.

Not an iota of 'express' or disposability seeps into 2, which was produced in Nairobi and tallies up as his 60th project to date. Instead, ounces of Somali funk, J Dilla off-kilter hip-hop and mbira are masterfully ladled into its every nook. Charif also adds fresh meaning to the term one man band, composing and mixing the album with a myriad of instruments being plucked, scratched and tapped: 6 string electric guitar, electric bass, double bass, MPC and nyatiti all become his play things at some point during the 21-tracker.

"Every Frame A Painting" is blissful, summer-coated stuff; kickstarted by contagiously foot-shifting melody before tobogganing into languid, reverb-drenched lounge territory. It's instrumental hip-hop with all the tasteful snippets of the equatorial region.

It's out via Hot Record Société digitally and 50 copies on cassette.
