A brand new jazz meets hip hop banger from the UK-based and Canadian born, internationally renowned trumpeter, composer, band leader, educator, broadcaster and writer, Jay Phelps.

Trumpeter Jay Phelps teams up with MC Simon Jnr for the second single off his upcoming  'Broken Standards' EP. Wayne Shorter’s haunting theme has been reworked and arranged to give plenty of room to rapper Simon Jnr. A fresh new artist from Birmingham, Simon delivers a message that takes the listener on a unique journey to and through the intersection of Jazz and Hip-Hop

Jay tells us “This tune is full of energy and excitement, I can’t wait for people to hear it! A truly pandemic collaboration, Fall, like all tunes on my new EP Broken Standards, was recorded without any of the musicians in the same room at the same time, but we managed to create something special.” 

Also hailing from Birmingham, Thomas Ford adds warm guitar textures and improv alongside Phelps’ trumpet as they trade lines and even doubles up on flute to deliver the melody! Also featuring Kaz Rodriguez on drums, Mike Flynn on bass and Tim Proznick on percussion.

You’ll be able to find “Fall” on Phelps’ forthcoming EP, ‘Broke Standards’, due for release soon on his own SoulEndvr Records.

Exclusive Premiere: Jay Phelps "Fall" (Forthcoming SoulEndvr Records)

Deeply immersive music for the mind, body and soul from Kofi the Unknown. Hailing from Rotterdam, Kofi taps into the essence of the West London broken beat sound, whilst putting his own percussion-heavy spin on it.

"One For Motet" is dedicated to broken beat DJ and MC, Motet. Kofi shares: ”This song was created as an ode to a close friend Motet, his stories about the Broken Beat movement in West London and my love for the genre.”

Kofi mixes electronic music with heavy percussive rhythms recalling not only broken beat but some of our favourite artists across house and techno whose music exudes groove and emotion. In fact, we recently heard Kofi on the Chicago house inspired "Let Me See You Move", with Steven Pieters.

The multi-talented Kofi balances skills as a producer, beatmaker and composer with a history playing drums for hip hop and funk acts. No doubt this has inspired his approach to making beats on drum machines. Likewise his passion for traditional rhythms and grooves from around the world, from Afro Cuban guaguancó and indigenous chanting, to the more electronic sounds of broken beat and classic Chicago house music. 

It is evident on  "One For Motet" that Kofi brings a wide range of skills to the party so we can't to hear what he has in store. In the meantime, we're very happy to 'bruk out' to "One For Motet", released June 4th on Amsterdam's Wicked Wax.

Morris Mobley - What's On Your Mind (Late Night Dub)
CQQL-002
https://cqqlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/morris-mobley-whats-on-your-mind

Nostalgic, suave, cosmopolitan, lustrous and precise, Morris Mobley is an alter-ego engineered to chill vibes, and simultaneously blow minds. Transport into the neo-noir, a timeless environment of dimly-lit nightclubs, smoky spaces, and hazy visions, where razor sharp vocals dance in tandem with a warm jazz-funk guitar, backed by the analog crispness of icy 808 hits and luxurious synth pads.

“What ‘s On Your Mind” is a single shrouded by sentimental memories, influenced by hard choices and rooted in sophisticated R&B: Side A for the questions, Side B for the answers.

3rd Avenue presents the Dancing Mood (Remix Edition), a follow-up to Living Stereo's original release from earlier this year. All four reinterpretations come from artists who are no strangers to the label, making this a true family project that showcases the strength and consistency of 3rd Avenue's roster.

Argentinean talents Nantiel and APNITUS deliver fresh takes on "Dancing Mood," each infusing the track with their own distinct rhythmic and melodic touches, while maintaining the essence of the original. For "Acetalatis," also featuring the evocative vocals of Cami Bragoni, two more returning names step in: Dave Leck, the sole non-Argentinean on the lineup (Australia), provides a deep and atmospheric rework, while Cocet brings his own dynamic energy to round out the collection.
