Modern Vintage is the new collaboration album from veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of world renown Hip-Hop group Scienz Of Life) and prolific drummer, composer, producer and band-leader Pat Van Dkye (aka PVD). John Robinson and PVD originally met at a show in 2008 and since then their chemistry has grown organically and has developed into the duo performing many formal shows together at venues like SOB’s, Blue Note NYC, LPR and others around the NY-NJ Tristate area. 

Modern Vintage spells out the approach in which this album was made from front to back: The music was composed with a combination of modern technology software mixed with vintage synths and outboard gear, all blended seamlessly with live instrumentation being the foundation. The lyrics and concepts were all spontaneously crafted in the studio, session by session, by letting the soundscapes speak to the lyricist similar to how vintage recordings of the 60’s & 70’s were created. 

“I took a much more structured songwriting approach to the lyrics on this album; my goal from the beginning of making this record was to take advantage of the fact that I am working with PVD- a composer/musician and not just a beat maker/producer, which definitely makes this record different from my other releases. This one is for all the true music lovers worldwide” says John Robinson. 

PVD states “making this record was a dream come true. From the very first session, we set out to craft quality songs that capture a cohesive vibe and feel good. In many cases, JR was writing to merely a sketch of what actually ended up on the record. It felt great to work with an artist who trusted me enough to lend his talents to the music not knowing where I would take it sonically. Live drums, keys, guitars, horns, and synths give this record a distinctly human feel that is present in all of my favorite records, old and new. A modern-day true Hip-Hop record, grounded firmly in the traditions of jazz, funk, and soul music.”

John Robinson & PVD’s Modern Vintage is now transmitting live to the world; catch the vibes on June 17th, 2014 via Brick Records.

l'orange has been a long time friend of the label ever since he released his "mad writer" album on our label. it's great to see how he has developed a loyal and growing following since then and it's a pleasure to have him "winter in jakarta".

After the widely successful release of „Summer in Jakarta“, Jakarta Records figured it’s time to gather some artist we like, work and/or are friends with again for the second installment of the loose series. „Winter In Jakarta“ features all unreleased material by artists such as Stwo, IAMNOBODI, Mura Masa, Oddisee, Guts, L’Orange, Suff Daddy and many more. The album will be available as a free DLL on the 9th of February. Keep your eyes open for the free cassette tape edition available from selected retailers.

Ascension (to the fonk the Georgia Anne Muldrow remix)

This is the original version of this song , I particularly liked this one because it was a little rougher than the one released.  I recorded vocals at Rza's studio and at Paul's Coffee shop LI . This version was replaced by the Mars Volta version on the "White People" album recorded at Automator's studio .

***********************************************************************
It's been almost 1 full year since we last spoke of anything new dropping on the label and it's been months since we last posted anything at all on social media.

Things have changed since then.

Through logo designing sessions, branding brainstorm sessions, and a lot of feedback; growing to find the true reason why Kolossus exist has drastically changed from when we first started.

Kolossus doesn't just mean big. It stands for unity, empowerment, thoughts, ideas, emotion, knowledge, growth and so much more.

The idea to create one big culture comes from the idea to unify all walks of life. To show people's art through a platform that wants to inspire growth, change, knowledge, and perspective.

We weren't doing that before.

Today begins the movement towards a brighter future. A future where inspiration comes from perspective and knowledge is shared through creativity.

Kolossus Kulture Magazine and Kolossus Record's new look and feel seeks to bring people together through their work. Work that's powerful enough to spark conversation, thoughts, ideas, and passion for changing the things around you.

Kolossus no longer seeks to publicize things that are JUST dope, cool, or interesting.

Kolossus is about unification through powerful perspectives on all levels.

This is why Kolossus exist and this is why it will continue to.
***********************************************************************

To celebrate our new direction, we're bringing you some Dynamite from the man, @28thwashere. This is a flip of the 2002 release from Ms.Dynamite. (Since it's a remix, there is no download link.)

28TH is a Future Beats, Trap, R&B, and Jazz influenced artist out of London. He's been a part of the Kolossus team for 3 years now, and his production has been fascinating to watch grow. Collaborating with artists like https://soundcloud.com/luchanashaw, https://soundcloud.com/trgdymusic, @fivefilo, and more, 28TH keeps diversity in close reach by connecting and collaborating with artists who hold not only the same passion and love for music and art as he does, but the selflessness to give back to those he's grown with.

With TWO LPs scheduled to come from 28TH this year (2017), it's best to follow him and not miss out on the anymore heat.

The Bualo tree represents your roots, your ability to branch out and touch other... trees if you will. Spreading the oxygen from one life force to another, found in the icey rainforest regions of the Czech Republic the Bualo tree stands at a whopping 370 feet high, towering over all of the other trees in the native area. The natives sing a little song in tribute to the Bualo tree and all it provides for their villages as a token of appreciation.
