Canadian production duo Potatohead People (https://soundcloud.com/nickwisdom & https://soundcloud.com/astrologicalbeats) team up with renown singer Amalia on the second single from their debut album 'Big Luxury' (out March 2nd on Bastard Jazz Recordings).  

"Luv Ya" is a funky, disco-tinged joint with big bass, crashing drums and powerful vocals from the "First Lady Of Modern Funk". 

The B-Side of this limited edition vinyl 7-inch features "Blue Charms", which shows a synthier, instrumental side of the duo with Prog-ish bassline, soaring vibes, and heavy drums.

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.

Wet Paint - Showstopper

Pre-Order: https://habibifunkrecords.bandcamp.com/releases

Habibi Funk will be a new sub label of Jakarta Records, dedicated to re-releasing arabic music from the 1970s and 1980s. It's a label and platform for funky/soulful and/or psych influenced music from the Arab world of the 70s and 80s.

Dalton was a band from Tunis, the capital of Tunisia. They came together as a band around 1968 when most of the members studied together at the University of Tunis. The band had five members. Faouzi Chekili on guitar, piano and vocals, Ridha Kouhen on bass guitar, Mustapha Rehouma and sax and percussion, Sadok Gharbi on trumpet and vocals and Skaner Alim on drums and vocals. They were active in the local scene, playing music that was heavily influenced by American soul and funk and at the same time regional musical traditions. In the early 70s the band got a regular gig at a beach hotel called Sahara Beach Resort on the coastline of Tunisia. They had six month contracts for a couple of years in the early 70s and during that time they would play every single night of the tourist season. While the hotel gig required the band to play sets leaning      towards tourist entertainment, the regular work helped put some money into the band's accounts. Using those funds the band was able to travel to Rome to record their one and only 7“ single release "Alech" around 1971/1972. The band eventually dismantled in the mid 70s and returned briefly as a new group with new members in the late 1970s under the name Carthago but that is a different story…… 

"That "Soul Brother" is my jam…. !!!!" 
Lefto 

The single itself impressed us heavily when we first stumbled upon it through French collector Victor Kiswell. While the b-side "Soul Brother“ sounds like a Tunisian version of modern soul / AOR with it’s English lyrics and lush arrangements, the title track "Alech“ is the one that will get every party started. An infectious 3/4 rhythm, a great horn arrangement and brillantly layered vocals that made us think of Brazillian music or the Georgian groove band Gaya. Luckily Faouzi Chekili, the former band leader and composer uses social media communication so he was easy to track down. He is still active as a renowned musician in the Tunisian jazz scene and remains active recording and playing concerts both in Tunisia and internationally.

Edit: this is just a little "recorded straight from the wax" preview. The final release will be properly remastered by the homies from Audiomoto Berlin

Passion パッション

For his next trick, the Pup launches the last single before his anticipated album's release, teaming with @bopscotch for a witty & funky number that'll be sure to keep you in the groove all summer long! (｡◕‿◕｡)

[Lyrics]
Babe you're a star, star youza babe 
So go quit ya day job, yea you such a BabeStar 
I'm here to say its so and i just wanna let chu know 
That you already be puttin in work when you play hard 
(Yo this is) Pup Smoo, see me jokin on ya momma 
(And i'm with) BaeStars like they play for Yokohama 
Bustin out like i cut thru fog 
Puppy Smooth like the Junkyard Dog 
Don't care if its cliche, way too nice of a beach day 
Take a chance and don’t get caught in a squeeze play 
Gotta sacrifice a bit to get outta the infield 
Swagga on Dave Winfield with the Padres 
Cause if son wants the part, you should dress more like it 
They took one look at me and said "That's more like it!" 
I'm in a white suit, but this isn’t fleet week 
Getcha tickets on SeatGeek - cause its sold out! 

Pups up front, miss me with the cosplay 
Japanese rap game Will Ospreay 
Come see me in the booth doin' a backflip 
It's like she got the Pup fucked up on the catnip 
Peter Piper pickin' pickles with a sickle 
Off the tree, look at me, come too close and catch a tickle 
Fresh up out the boutique, new sneaks, shoes sleek  
Who's he drivin by in the size-of-a-moose jeep? 
Just point me in the direction of your venue 
Always know what I want, I don’t need to see a menu 
And even when it seems like i'm playin off a slump 
I'm always safe at home like i'm payin off the ump 
See whether it's shit weather or nice out 
Imma drip slime from sunrise to lights out 
No doubt, I can't fake this damn 
So i just keep puttin in work, call me the maintenance man! 

Step up in the mall like "Brodie, mann!" 
Makin moves like Brodie Van, damn i'm the GM  
Shop for prospects, end up in her DM  
Like "Sup? Imma hunk and a Punk like CM" 
Shades on cause my eyes type droopy 
Alright? It's Puppy Smooth like Snoopy 
Oh so Joe Cool judgin' by the groupies 
I hit em with the snootchie bootchies! (but this ain’t no movie) 
I'll be there when you need air 
Yup, just inhale me like oxygen 
So you gotta stop lettin' them toxins in 
And just breathe where you see me there 
In the batters box leadin off the 9th 
You know me, i’m feedin off the nite 
I howl at the moon when i’m down to make moves 
But first you gotta feel it if it's right (iite?)
