'Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings has been running since 2001, and continues to blaze a trail for independent record labels worldwide. With a global roster that spans from funk to hip hop, from house to soul, from jazz to forward thinking beats, alongside its unrelenting commitment to the vinyl medium, label founder Aaron Schultz continues on his quest to sign and nurture new talent and new sounds 20 years on, still going strong. 

 

Making a return to Bastard Jazz is fellow Brooklynite Peter Matson with his dancefloor ready ‘The Right Way’. Matson is a global touring artist with a long and winding history as a musician, producer, and DJ, who is well known as front man of seminal NYC post-punk band Underground System. He’s just released the brilliant ‘Big Time EP’ alongside JKriv on Heist Recordings, he’s had outings on Soul Clap, Hell Yeah and Planet E, with more quality dropping soon on Razor-N-Tape, and the much-revered Heavenly Sweetness, topped off with remixes by Yuksek and Detroit Legend Andres.

 

‘The Right Way’ boasts an impressive list of collaborators, with ‘Call and Answer’ featuring Ibibio Sound Machine’s vocalist Eno Williams on the Afro-Disco workout.  London’s Faze Action are back with a bang on the remix frontline flipping the title track towards their signature sound, where Afro beats meet proto house, with lashings of disco vibes. There are two instrumentals that include the slow building Italo burner ‘The Right Way’, and the more Balearic leaning ‘PB (Ça Va)’. The digital package includes a bonus cut with Faze Action delivering an instrumental shade of the title cut for those that prefer to leave the vocal aside.  Weaving together Peter Matson’s affinity for the dancefloor with African influences, this EP culminates in a record that is both genre-bending and timelessly danceable.'

Fueled on pizza and the spirit of dance music, Chef Sam O.B. has lovingly cooked up four courses for our aural connoisseurs to enjoy: “Just A Slice.” 

Like any good pizza, it all starts with the dough, and “Making Dough” gets us right on track. Borrowing elements from house classics of the past, it rises on a jackin’ groove complete with a funky fermented low-end and dashes of vocals from the chef himself. 

“Le Sauce” offers a tangy burst of flavor atop our dough foundation; a sort of subtle and seductive palate that only the most refined of sauces can provide. Twists and turns await as the layers of seasoned live instrumentation unveil themselves (best enjoyed past dusk). 

Next, as you might have expected, is “Cheezin’” - many people’s favorite part of a pie. This one is sharp; bursting with mouthwatering umami energy and, like any good chef, O.B. has added just enough to leave you wanting more of the catchy interwoven melodies and rhythms sprinkled within. 

Finally, it’s time to grab a piping hot “Just A Slice” out of the oven - an amalgamation of all groovin’ ingredients added thus far and the title track. A bubbling and elastic bassline pairs with the percussion of various textures and savory synth lines, combining for a well-balanced meal sure to keep your senses engaged. 

A satisfying listen, “Just A Slice” would do, but feel free to indulge in multiple spins. 

Sam O.B. (fka Obey City) has a unique energy. This soft-spoken New York native is at once a producer, deejay, label boss, tastemaker and champion of the new-New York underground. He effortlessly handles each role with zen-like serenity—in a lost tradition of American culture, one may have said ‘suave.’ 

What started as casual experimentation and beat making for rappers and friends has evolved over the last decade into an unrelenting solo passion, resulting in a steady stream of soul-drenched bedroom music that avoids trends in favor of the enduring. He’s released records with LuckyMe (UK), Astro Nautico (a label he co-founded), and Classic Music Company through his collaborative project, Dave + Sam. 

Sam is humble when it comes to just about everything, but his penchant for the sounds of soul, funk, dance and smooth jams has instilled a vibe that has grown up alongside a rapidly evolving urban musical landscape. The result is glossy, shifting music that seeks the weird, the unrestrained, the cleverly odd. 

His new music under the name Sam O.B. expands upon this musical background but ends up being a truer reflection of his artistic spirit than ever before. He continues to collaborate, write and produce music with exciting new musicians and vocalists outside of his own solo endeavors with one goal in mind: to bring positive noise into the modern world.

Let Nothing Change You Feat.Pete Simpson (replayed by ROOT SOUL)

Just in time to kick off the Summer, Captain Planet has teamed up with 2 long-time collaborators (Zuzuka Poderosa & Raphael Futura) for a new Brazilian disco funk song, "Moqueca.” The song harkens back to Brazil's legendary funk parties in the 70's and early 80's - where soundsystems bumped legends like Tim Maia, Sandra Da Sa & Gilberto Gil - while infusing some fresh contemporary energy and extra thump for today's dancefloors. Zuzuka's bright vocals bounce over a bubbly bassline, syncopated percussion and wormy vintage synthesizers, while an additional punch is brought in the form of horn arrangements by the prolific maestro Todd Simon, another frequent Captain Planet collaborator. 

“Moqueca” takes inspiration from the Brazilian dish of the same name, a nationally famous fish stew that varies across the regions of Brazil. In her lyrics, Zuzuka talks about the origins and variations of Moqueca, starting with the style from Espirito Santo, her home state, and continuing to Moqueca Baiana, from Bahia, which incorporates African influences and ingredients. The result is a song that is as much an homage to Brazilian music as it is its food, culture and people. 

The song is the first single from Captain Planet's upcoming "Sounds Like Home” EP, which finds the producer turning towards more retro, analogue and live band elements, all with an eye towards his signature “Gumbo Funk” of global sounds. “Moqueca” is out on Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz Recordings May 27th.

112 kbps files for preview - don't be a dunce! 4 all things POOLS >>> @poolsmusic

For their first ever double-LP outing Razor-N-Tape presents POOLS, with a sun-drenched and laid-back collection of tunes called Innertubes. POOLS, the moniker of Los Angeles duo Thee Mike B and DJ Morsecode, craft a sound that conjures up the easy going swagger and soulful grit of the left-most coast. The original versions read like an album, perfect for a lazy Sunday rooftop BBQ with beers, bros and blunts, (although no doubt some of these gems will find their way into DJs' warm-up and boom-bap sets). The remixes elevate the juncture to dance floor level, with smooth and varied remixes from RNT stalwarts Luvless and DJ Vas, plus label newcomers thatmanmonkz, Junktion, and Superprince.
