Experimental hip-hop/jazz quartet Bokoya team up with Cologne-based producer / guitarist Gianni Brezzo (Jakarta Records) for ‘Velvet Stream’, the fourth single from their upcoming project on Melting Pot Music.

Bokoya describe themselves as a four-headed human drum machine that play impro-vised beat music. You can call it jazz if you like (all four members are graduated jazz musicians btw) but be ready to stumble over some Dilla, Kraut Rock, Ambient or Dub in the mix. We recommend their double-album ‘Hausensession’ (MPM 2022) as a reference point.

Gianni Brezzo's music is a bit easier to access but not less leftfield. Jazz is a major influ-ence, but it goes way further. On his album ‘Tutto Grosso’ (Jakarta, 2022), Brezzo rides a sonic wave similar to Matthew Halsall, Surprise Chef, El Michels Affair and BadBadNot-Good. 

The recording sessions took place at the Gottesweg Studios in Cologne where Bokoya and Gianni Brezzo jammed for three days and nights based on some basic sketches and beat. The sessions were edited and arranged after by Bokoya and Brezzo but no overdubs added.

Bokoya & Gianni Brezzo - Velvet Stream

We are beyond excited to present the second volume of House Blends to our listeners and also showcase our beatmakers taking upon this uptempo vibe. The compilation is a testament to the ever-evolving nature of house music and the incredible pool of talent within the genre.

Our idea of House Blends stems from the vibes on the west coast in the 90’s without technology just being out with your friends cruising, night vibes, good food and spending time with people you vibe with. We would like to extend our gratitude to all the artists who contributed their remarkable works and to our listeners for the unwavering support.

After the success of Volume 1 on Apple Music, the bar has been set high for this follow-up release. Brace yourselves for a journey through the freshest house blends, featuring six incredibly talented artists I have the honor of presenting.

THEM - What Was It About Me

Today we’re seeing a in-house collaboration titled Murmuration being released by @mvlimusic and @raapolo For those of you that’s been a part of the movement you might remember MVLI and if not, I truly recommend to listen through his previous catalogue. I teamed up with Oh, My to speak a bit about how it all happened and his own inspiration for ‘Murmuration’.

My collaboration with MVLI started with me vividly remembering how I listened to “Summevening” (by MVLI) on repeat on the subway to work in the morning when it was released, and I thought it was incredibly good. It was truly a release that I remember so well and that played on repeat, so releasing a song together with MVLI 6.5 years later feels very nice.

Regarding the inspiration, I received a really nice composition with many instruments from MVLI, and my vision was to make everything sound soulful and live, but at the same time have the beat elements in place with heavy drums and elements of vocal chops and some looping elements as well.

Herring Franky is one of the few true real heads left in the game. Strictly 90s oriented neckbreakers, analog samplers, vinyls, mad swingin drum patterns and insanely complex - impossibe to recognize - sampling methods.

Blunt Shelter Records Crew is thrilled to announce his second vinyl LP. The album is loaded with dope material. Enjoy the ride and all the bests to 2018!!

We do this vinyl release for the love of art and to leave an impactful imprint for the past&present&future, so... Thank Y'All for the support!
