Shifting focus for the second installment of "Yasiin Gaye", Amerigo aimed to highlight the often overlooked accomplishments of Marvin Gaye's role as the producer.

"I wanted to build this side from more of Marvin's original production work. He was doing a lot of what we do now, in terms of looping and pulling samples from other pre-recorded sessions decades before hip-hop made it common practice to do so. This also gave me the room to feature other artist [Chuck Berry, The Temptations, Talib, etc.] and re-present those classic Mos [Def] versus in a new context." 
 
Soul Mates Series:

Amerigo Gazaway's *Soul Mates* series continues the theme of his previous work in creating collaborations that never were. On the series' latest installment, Amerigo unites Brooklyn rapper Yasiin Bey (Mos Def) and soul legend Marvin Gaye for a dream collaboration aptly titled "Yasiin Gaye". Building the album's foundation from deconstructed samples of Gaye's Motown classics, Gazaway re-purposes the instrumentation into new productions within a similar framework. Carefully weaving Bey's tangled raps and Gaye's soulful vocals over his new arrangements, the producer delivers a quality much closer to an authentic collaboration than a lukewarm "mashup" album.

Leif Maine & Jackson Mathod Announce Captivating Vinyl Album "Volte-Face"

Leif Maine and Jackson Mathod are thrilled to announce the August release of their album, "Volte-Face", with a single of the same name. This collaboration marks a bold new chapter in contemporary jazz, blending traditional and modern elements with great artistry and a willingness to explore many genres on one project.

"Volte-Face" is a sonic journey that showcases Maine's innovative compositions and Mathod's masterful trumpet performances. The album features a rich tapestry of sounds, from soulful melodies to intricate improvisations, capturing the essence of their dynamic synergy. Each track is meticulously crafted, promising an immersive listening experience for audiophiles and jazz enthusiasts alike.

Under a pub in South London a studio was built during the pandemic. This place has been a hub ever since. With a lot of people going through it, and being in it, and a lot of recent and very successful albums having been recorded in it, it’s a vibrant space.

The musicians behind the scenes, collaborating on those projects, have begun working with Def Pressé and will be releasing music under their own names. There will be the same spirit of collaboration and the same fusion of genres, all based around highly skilled Jazz musicians, playing Jazz music... we’ll hear Grunge, Hip Hop, Punk, Indie, Lo-Fi, with a Jazz foundation. "Volte-Face" stands out in its bravery to accept a real mixture of influences. The decision to release the album on vinyl underscores the duo's commitment to preserving the warmth and authenticity of their sound, offering fans a tangible way to enjoy their music.

For now, there are two singles in circulation.  Move Something marks the first single from the upcoming album and features Turt’s vocal performance. Turt is one half of Summer Sons, a jazz rap group from South London. Consisting of two brothers, Turt on vocals and Slim, his brother as producer.
They have toured with Children of Zeus, played shows with Melodiesinfonie and FloFilz and been part of the bubbling... The Silhouettes Project.
