RITUAL (nothing is lost)

Good friends and Record Mission co-captains, Dan Tyler (one half of the Idjut Boys) and Nick The Record, take the reins for the third volume of the Mr Bongo Edits 12" series. With previous editions coming courtesy of Danny Krivit and Luke Una, Dan and Nick set their sights on a hand-picked selection of iconic ‘70s Cuban recordings for this three-track cosmic whirlwind. Across the A side, Dan picks out two Juan Pablo Torres tracks, with Nick taking on Grupo Los Yoyi on the B. Tweaking, extending and reworking the recordings with a dose of extra magic they remould the tracks to fit the sounds and structure of today’s dancefloors. 

Having formed the Idjut Boys in the early ‘90s, Dan and Conrad McDonnell have crafted a dubbed-out, disco-tinged style that permeates their countless productions, remixes and DJ sets. Speaking of the two tracks Dan has chosen to rework for this EP he mentions, “Having been caught under an avalanche of good music from Mr Bongo, I took it upon myself to extend and add effects to a couple of the fantastic tracks from the Juan Pablo Torres LPs they recently re-issued. Just for disco jockey and barn dance use.”

First, Dan looks to Cuban maestro Juan Pablo Torres’ 1978 album 'Algo Nuevo', taking one of the standout tracks ‘Cacao’ and giving it more space to breathe. Teasing out the scatting vocal line and percussive climax that nods to George Kranz's ’83 electronic disco anthem 'Din Daa Daa', whilst adding more cosmic tripped-out synths and space echoed dubs, Dan builds the tension to fine effect. This track sounds immense on a big club system and the swirling synths felt like they were lifting the ceiling off when we played it at the amazing La Paloma ballroom in Barcelona. 

Dan then turns his attention to Torres’ 1977 'Super Son' album, giving the psych-Latin-funk track 'Pastel En Descarga' a dub makeover. Rich in delay and drama, whilst maintaining and extending the breakers funk intro, he juices it up into a punchy, no-nonsense, cosmic-funk delight. 

On the B side, Tangent co-founder, long-standing Life Force resident and seasoned rework master, Nick The Record, revisits an edit that he originally constructed in 2009. Clocking in at over double the length of the original cut, Nick’s edit of Grupo Los Yoyi’s 1977 cut 'Paco La Calle', is made with dancers firmly in mind. This secret weapon builds and simmers, with the drums and percussion pushing and pulling before the psychedelic synth lines return in a sweltering fashion. In this new 2025 version, Dan is drafted in to work some brilliant new synth lines into the mix.


Juan Pablo Torres Y Algo Nuevo - Pastel En Descarga (Dan Tyler NAD Pepino Versión)

n an ever-expanding musical universe, Azymuth have long existed as a celestial giant, drawing countless artists, musicians and followers into their orbit. Marking fifty years since their 1975 debut album Azimuth, their new album Marca Passo proves that the band’s alchemic brew of Brazilian jazz-funk and cosmic samba soul remains as vital as ever, as the group honours the profound legacy of their departed founders.

Recorded in Rio de Janeiro, Marca Passo is the first full-length release since the passing of founding drummer Ivan "Mamão" Conti in 2023, following the earlier loss of keyboardist José Roberto Bertrami in 2012. Alex Malheiros, the sole remaining original member, sees his stewardship of the band’s musical legacy as his spiritual duty. He is joined by the equally devoted Kiko Continentino (Milton Nascimento, Djavan) on keyboards, who has been with the group since 2016, and new recruit Renato Massa (Marcos Valle, Ed Motta) on drums.

Yet since their earliest recorded music, Azymuth have always been far greater than the sum of their parts. The "three-man orchestra’s" unmistakable sound is rooted in Brazil's MPB studio scene of the 1970s and early 1980s—a time when artists blended traditional Brazilian rhythms with global jazz, rock, and emerging psychedelic and progressive elements. Marca Passo continues this legacy, seamlessly fusing Brazilian musical traditions with global influences while showcasing the exceptional musicianship that powers Azymuth's distinctive, multi-dimensional sound.

The album is produced by studio mastermind Daniel Maunick, responsible for Azymuth’s two previous studio albums, Fênix in 2016 and Aurora in 2011. Daniel’s credits also include albums by Marcos Valle, Sabrina Malheiros and Terry Callier. Azymuth also invited Daniel’s father, British jazz-funk royalty Jean Paul “Bluey” Maunick, of Incognito, to play guitar on a new version of Azymuth’s eighties classic “Last Summer In Rio”, in tribute to the song’s composer, José Roberto Bertrami. Equally, “Samba Pro Mamao” is a new composition dedicated to Azymuth’s beloved original drummer, Ivan “Mamão” Conti.

Marca Passo releases on limited edition blue, red & black vinyl LP editions, CD and digitally on the 6th June 2025, via Far Out Recordings, supported by European and North American tours.

Another round of sunny, samba-tinged Balearica from Copenema
 
'Hoje' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Music For Dreams are proud to present Copenema’s new album Hoje, to be released June 27th.
 
Copenema is the collaborative project masterminded by Brazillian multi-instrumentalist Rodrigo Sha. The essence of the music is Brazilian, both in its rhythms and moods. Yet it traces a clear course from the samba of Rio de Janeiro to the Balearic Beat of Ibiza, through a pit stop in the northern city of Copenhagen, picking up new influences, production styles and collaborators from the Music For Dreams roster.
 
Hoje, meaning “Today”, is Copenema’s third album and features twelve songs: eleven originals written by Sha and a bossa-nova cover version of ‘Love Is In The Air’. The sound of the album is joyful and wholesome, with Sha’s saxophone, flute, guitar and unique Carioca voice adding many deep colors the sweet harmonies and sunny beats.
 
The album features producers and instrumentalists including DJ Disse, Walt Default, DJ Pippi, Grassskirt, OliO, The Swan And The Lake, Kenneth Bager, Reinhard Vanbergen, Gabriel Moura, and other names.

The release is supported by Koda’s Cultural Funds and Musik Forlæggerne.

Copenema - Hoje (Full Album) - 0316

Do you know those carefree summer evenings? Maybe just yesterday was one of them. When the air is warm, everything is calm, and the only sound is gravel under your feet as you walk an empty track across the fields. "Silence" is for that feeling.

I started working on it back in early spring, when evenings like that were still far away. Adding some of my own recordings (like birds chirping and the crackling of fire) already brought a sense of nostalgia and made those moments feel closer.

Musically, it’s simple: a few piano chords from an improvisation, layered with more piano and some airy synths. The atmosphere and most of the percussion come from everyday sounds: for example, a bicycle rack as a hi-hat, a watering can as a snare, and an incoming train turned into a riser.

The goal: music that feels like silence. I hope you enjoy.

After 15 years of forward-thinking musical fusion, Boozoo Bajou returned in 2009 with their most sophisticated album on !K7 as yet: ‘Grains’. Parallel Florian Seyberth – one half of the musical duo – has just completed another DJ-tour through the US and Asia playing clubs from San Francisco to Jarkarta and alongside the Studio 54 DJ-legend Francois Kervorkian, who has invited him to his “Deep Space”-Club-Night in NY several times. Also selected gigs this autumn saw them perform sharing the stage with such diverse musicians as Mulatu Astatke and Jazzanova.

Boozoo Bajou´s producers Florian Seyberth and Peter Heider are already widely celebrated around the globe for their unique blend of modern electronica with blues, jazz, soul, latin-music and dub.

Boozoo Bajou earned attention with their irresistible breakthrough single ‘Night Over Manaus’ in 1998, their 2001 released debut album ‘Satta’ and it ´s 2005 sequel ‘Dust My Broom’. They also demonstrated their excellent and wide-ranging musical taste on two excellent mix- compilations, ‘Juke Joint’ and ‘Juke Joint II’ on !K7. With more than 100.000 albums sold and their music being featured on over 300 compilations, Boozoo Bajou have managed to capture a wide audience with their individualistic approach to modern music.

In addition, Florian and Peter have remixed or collaborated with a diverse range of major artists. These include hip-hop superstar Common, Mary J. Blige, Jazz legend Pharoah Sanders, New Zealand’s finest Fat Freddy’s Drop, Songwriter Josh Rouse, Rapper Oh No from the Stones Throw camp, former Motown writer-producer and blaxploitation soundtrack legend Willie Hutch, and the veteran Louisiana singer-songwriter Tony Joe White, author of the all-time classic ‘Rainy Night In Georgia’. 

Deeply rooted in dance-culture, Boozoo Bajou are well known around the globe for their inspired DJ-sets. While current live-activities involve a full band celebrating a more organic and jazzy approach to their unique music, Florian Seyberth´s DJ-activities are guaranteed to fill the floors. He started running his own club in 1996 and DJs around the world. Florian can be found behind the decks on his own, or with his musical partner Peter Heider or even alongside their long-time MC “T-Weed” from the Rocker Hifi Camp. 

With his sophisticated mix of techno, dub, house, neo-disco, downbeats, hip hop and soulful tunes, he is one of the few DJs worldwide, who creates a fusion of all these genres and sounds, that not only has a red thread running all throughout the set, but also will build a positive tension with the listeners and will produce a coherent musical narrative. Playing huge festival like Big Chill and Coachella various times, Florian has gained an international reputation and has become an ambassador for the modern European music-scene. 

Reaching their next level, Boozoo Bajou´s evolution is ongoing, so is their mission. The presently released remix-collection “Dust my Grains” (!K7) and the DJ Mix CD “Coming Home” (Stereo Deluxe) are their next releases in the first half of 2010. Both compilation-albums represent the innovative electronic-music side of Boozoo Bajou.



Isaac Orion produces melodic, progressive dance music drawing from a myriad of world influences. Trained in classical, jazz and pop music, he began writing songs as a teenager and spent years recording, performing and touring as a keyboard player for American disco, funk, reggae, jazz and soul bands. For the past decade he has turned his creative focus to performing and producing original dance music as a solo artist.
