Seventh release on Soul Jazz Records subsidiary Sounds Of The Universe imprint! Exclusive to www.soundsoftheuniverse.com and www.souljazzrecords.co.uk

Bay Area producer Armon Bazile has pushed a steadfast brand of deep house since the millennium, working with labels of Prescription and Yoruba's stature, releasing a string of releases on the forward-thinking labels like Washington State's Further Records, and drawing an Oakland-based collective of like-minded artists into his own Deepblak imprint.

This special art & sound 12" conveys his meditative, spiritual approach, drawing on a blend of cosmic and spiritual sonics -- bringing to mind detroit techno, german space-rock, Sun Ra -- and resolutely innovative, rhythm-heavy dance tracks.

Recorded LIVE at Cosmic Connection 2022: Sunrise on the Baeship stage.

After spending much of lockdown searching for sunrise music for that dream set at Burning Man someday, I got a dream opportunity two weeks ago by being blessed with closing out the weekend in beautiful Dripping Springs, TX!  Here's my sunrise set recorded live on the Baeship stage at The Cosmic Connection 2022.  I also got to play a track I produced with Nicolaas Black and Daniel Amalm called "The Sun".  It was intended for sunrise sets, and it was a pretty special moment for me to finally get to play it in the setting it was meant for!  I hope you enjoy this mix it as much as I did playing it!  Huge thanks to everyone at Baeship for allowing me such a precious opportunity!

Rising mega-talent Tenderlonious is a South London multi-instrumentalist and vocalist associated with the growing talents of Mo Kolours, Al Dobson Jr, Jeen Bassa, Reginald Ommas Mammode IV, and Henry Wu -- many of whom have been grouped under the banner of the 22a label he founded.

The tracks he’s provided for us layer sweet soulfulness with louche RnB and a heap of jazz. MPC, bass clarinet, rhodes, and indian flute are played live with an un-quantised, one-take approach -- sort of like Madlib’s yesterday’s new quintet and Theo Parrish colliding at the crossroads of house and hip-hop.

With the melodic insights in these improvised arrangements, it’s not surprising to learn of a reverence for the Eastern jazz sound of Yusef Lateef, Eric Dolphy, Abdullah Ibrahim, as much inspired by the sampling habits of J Dilla aswell as his studies with saxophone greats like Jean Toussaint, Gilad Atzmon, Ronnie Scott alum Pat Crumly and Tom Whitehead.

On "Caramel" these influences ripen - as a punchy, rattling rhythm track slowly spreads into a mesh of heavily jazzed keys and percolating bass. "Something Different" scales things down, matching a meandering bassline -- like a screwed version of Lil Louis’ Nice n Slo -- with falsetto vocals sweetly treated for a South London take on Sa-Ra. The extended Instrumental version cranks up the peripheral sound effects, swirling through Rhodes padding before fading into a teasing bonus sketch.

Lonnie Liston Smith Mix & In Conversation

David Isaac - Live @ The Endup (SF,CA) September 11, 2011

via @walla-p 

I remember the 1st time I heard of Lonnie Liston Smith; it was through the album credits of Jay-Z’s “Reasonable Doubt”. I’ve always been more intrigued with production rather than lyrics but still, I didn’t really catch on to his work until later on when I saw a video of Ski Beatz where he was explaining how he made “Dead Presidents“. That’s when I realized I had to dig deeper into LLS’ catalogue, especially as a young beat producer at the time.

Even since then, Lonnie Liston Smith has captured & mystified my ears with his music. Whether on the solo tip or with his Cosmic Echoes, LLS’ compositions are filled with funky rhythms, peaceful messages, celestial rhodes solos and timeless rhythms. He was, and still is a true visionary, and I’ll always feel like he was way ahead of his time.

For this mix, I selected some of my ultimate cuts, tracks that helped me escape from reality, travel to outer realms & meditate on my past/current/future endeavours.

David Isaac has been an avid fan of house music since 1994.  In 1995 he relocated from his hometown of Seattle, WA to Los Angeles, CA where his interest in DJing really began to blossom.  After a couple years of passing out mix-tapes to the local promoters in LA, he finally got his chance to play at “Insomnia”, one of LA’s most notable after-hours parties that took place in the late 90’s.  It wasn’t long before he became a resident at “Insomnia” and at a Sunday weekly event called “The Mix”.

In 2010, he relocated to San Francisco where he enjoyed over a year of being a resident DJ at Temple Nightclub before finally moving back to Los Angeles in 2012.  His time in San Francisco introduced him to the Burning Man community, and upon returning to Los Angeles found himself knee deep in the local micro-festival scene.  During this period he was blessed to be a resident of the Blackbird Bus art-car, and co-founded a weekly event with Christi Mills called “Unity”.  In 2021 he relocated once again, this time to San Antonio, TX where he's now a member of "Mint Condition", a DJ collective with Adam Madrigal, Alain Baylon, Anthony Garcia, and Culliere.

David has several releases on a handful of record labels that include Wulfpack, Be Adult, and Temple Music Group.  In the late 90’s he and long time friend DJ Tone released a white-label mash-up of Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean and Madonna’s Holiday.  Now, they have teamed up again and have begun to release music as “Vert Der Ferk".
