DJ Offbeat & Chris Galvan end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

Last week we started with Compost Records. This week we turn our focus to Jazzanova, a 6 deep collective of producers and DJs based in Berlin that were a driving force behind JCR (Jazzanova Compost Records), Compost Records, Sonar Kollektiv Records, and have pushed the global future jazz sound to the edge of the envelope for over 10 years and counting.

Beyond their studio albums and 12"s, they have compiled a slew of amazing collections and DJ mixes. Their DJ sets continue to keep them in demand worldwide and the new live band project has breathed new life into some classic Jazzanova compositions.

FutureHistoryOfHouse, Music Is Everything and oddiofile present the Schema Records Special

DJ Offbeat, Chris Galvan, and OdDio end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

We've taken a look at Compost Records and Jazzanova so far. This week we turn our attention to Schema Records. A partnership between Luciano Cantone and Davide Rosa first spawned Edizioni Ishtar in the early 90s and was quickly followed by Family Affair Distribution. Today Family Affair distributes labels like Compost, Soul Jazz, and F-Communications throughout Italy, while it also distributes Ishtar Productions (Schema, Big Sur, Rearward) worldwide.

Schema was birthed when Nicola Conte and Gerardo Frisina were brought on board and what followed has been an amazing string of beautiful jazz-based records from the heart of Italy to dancefloors worldwide. While we will focus specifically on the work of Nicola Conte and Gerardo Frisina in their own specials over the coming weeks, their presence can be felt in virtually every Schema release. Undeniably groovy, Schema presents top quality jazz for the mind, body, and soul.

Respect to the entire Schema family that continues to release amazing records by world class artists and to all of you for supporting the future sounds!

Schema Records Special December 2009  DJ Offbeat  Chris Galvan  OdDio

FutureHistoryOfHouse and Music Is Everything present the 4 Hero Special

DJ Offbeat and Chris Galvan end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

We've taken a look at Compost Records, Jazzanova, and Schema Records so far.  This week we focus on Dollis Hill's 4 Hero.  

Marc Mac and Dego started making waves in 1989 and haven't stopped since.  Beginning in the Drum & Bass world, the pair created the Reinforced label and quickly became a major force in the underground.  With tracks like Mr Kirk (Mr Kirk's Nightmare) in 1990, they pulled more attention than anyone previous to the Drum & Bass scene.  Keep in mind that this was a full 4 years before we would see Goldie's 'Inner City Life' and a couple more years before the likes of Roni Size and Grooverider would break the 'new jazz' sound into the mainstream's conscious.

By this time, 4 Hero had already released 'Parallel Universe' and were preparing to unleash the album 'Two Pages' on Talkin' Loud Records.  This double album would combine the organic, jazz-improvised, live sound with a dark, electronic side to present a fully realized journey through two competing, yet complimentary, perspectives.  Not only did this album find 4 Hero at their most orchestrated and soulful pinnacle to date, it also earned the duo a Mercury Prize nomination and a whole new audience.  Many would argue that 'Two Pages' layed the groundwork for the entire Brokenbeat scene that would soon take West London by frenzy, much as Drum & Bass had just a few years prior.

2001's 'Creating Patterns' expanded on the lush, complex arrangements, including a massive recreation of Minnie Ripperton's 'Les Fleur'.  4 Hero created a new label, Raw Canvas, to release 'Play With The Changes' in 2006.  This allowed them the opportunity to control the way in which the album was produced and presented from start to finish.  Collaborations with the legendary Larry Mizell (Mizell Brothers) seemed effortless and a take on Stevie Wonder's 'Superwoman' showed their innate ability to be true to a classic while still pushing forward.

Perhaps this is the precise quality that speaks to so many through 4 Hero's music.  Whether it be through drum & bass, nujazz, brokenbeat, techno, hip hop, and beyond, 4 Hero has pioneered an amazingly diverse selection of sounds and birthed multiple genres in the process.  An adoration of the soul, funk, and jazz classics pushed to new heights through dizzying creativity and an unwavering ability to constantly remain at the forefront of both the modern dancefloor and headphone soul.

FutureHistoryOfHouse, Music Is Everything, and oddiofile present the Scandinavian Jazz Special

DJ Offbeat, Chris Galvan, and OdDio end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

We examined Compost Records, Jazzanova, Schema Records, 4 Hero, and Especial Records in December. We start the year off right with a jazzy dancefloor affair focusing on modern Scandinavian Jazz.

There is a strong jazz heritage throughout the decades in Denmark, Finland, and Sweden. The modern explosion began in 2003 when Ricky Tick records formed and the Five Corners Quintet's first 10" made its way into record bags across the globe. Since then, the sounds have only gotten sweeter. With one ear in steady reverence to the bop, cool jazz, and spiritual jazz of the past and the other ear constantly pushing soulful dancefloor jazz further into the future, it's with great love that we present some of our favorite moments from Scandinavia over the past decade.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Scandinavian Jazz Special January 2010 DJ Offbeat  Chris Galvan  OdDio  www.FutureHistoryOfHouse.com

DJ Offbeat, Chris Galvan, and OdDio end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

We examined Compost Records, Jazzanova, Schema Records, 4 Hero, and Especial Records in December.  We started the year off right with a look at Scandinavian Jazz.  This week we turn our attention to Italian jazz maestro Nicola Conte.

The swinging jazz sounds of Nicola Conte first entered my world in the form of the Schema Records album 'Jet Sounds'.  A modern take on bossa, the groove based tunes flowed one after another until the final notes of 'Trappola Mortale' faded into silence.  I ached for more and immediately began the journey again.  The audience widened a bit in America with the Eighteenth Street Lounge re-release, renamed 'Bossa Per Due' and a full remix album aptly titled 'Jet Sounds Revisited'.  

The remixes flowed, as did my love of these dancefloor jazz sounds.  Taking a more pure jazz tone, Nicola Conte and his band recorded 'Other Directions' in 2004 for Blue Note.  Conte returned to his home at Schema Records with 2008's 'Rituals'.  Late in 2009, Schema released a double album of collected remixes from over the years under the name 'The Modern Sound of Nicola Conte: Versions In Jazz Dub' and the journey continues.

I was fortunate enough to catch a DJ set at Sonotheque in Chicago in late 2003, where I enjoyed the fine selections of Mr Conte, as well as an excellent conversation and more than a few drinks with the man himself.  Chris and his lovely wife came for a visit late last year and we all took in the live band, featuring Nicola on guitar and the one Jose James on vocals.  Needless to say, they brought the house down.  

Fond memories all around!  We hope you enjoy a small sampling of the ever growing body of work Nicola Conte has blessed us with thus far and look forward to what the future may bring.  Also, be sure to check out the Schema  Records Special if you missed it.

Much love, respect, and thanks to Nicola Conte and the good people at Schema Records, as well as all of the talented labels and artists featured in this show.

DJ Offbeat, Chris Galvan, and OdDio end the decade by taking a look back at some of the Labels and Artists that have influenced us, inspired us, and led us to where we are today.

We examined Compost Records, Jazzanova, Schema Records, 4 Hero, and Especial Records in December. We started the year off right with a look at Scandinavian Jazz and Nicola Conte. This week we focus on Gerardo Frisina.

Gerardo Frisina is a vital piece of the Ishtar equation. His deep knowledge of jazz has been key in the creation and success of Ishtar, which houses most notably the Schema and Rearward labels. He began as a producer for artists involved with Ishtar and quickly moved into production of his own records. This began with the release of Ad Lib in 2001 and has since brought us Hi Note and The Latin Kick. Along the way, he has managed to ring up an impressive catalog of remixes of modern jazz tunes, as well as an incredible selection of classic artists including the likes of Horace Silver, Freddie Hubbard, Dizzy Gillespie, and more.

Gerardo continues to DJ worldwide, always moving forward with his fusion of modern sounds, brazilian, and latin jazz. You can dig deeper at www.Ishtar.it and www.myspace.com/gerardofrisina

FutureHistoryOfHouse, MusicIsEverything, and oddiofile present a Far Out Records Special

Far Out Recordings was started in 1994 by London-born Brazilian record don Joe Davis. Mr Davis had been making trips to Brazil for a number of years, digging for lost gems and supplying DJs such as Gilles Peterson with crate after crate of magic. Through these adventures, it became possible to record new albums from such legends as Azymuth, Marcos Valle, and Joyce, as well as cultivate younger artists such as Sabrina Malheiros. With a steady output of top quality new music, alongside a choice selection of re-issues, Far Out quickly became the most trusted label focusing on Brazilian music. Last year they celebrated 15 years. Here's to the next 15!

Much respect to Far Out Recordings, Joe Davis, and all the artists featured on this show.

The recent set of Inspiration Information collaborations have been as exciting to listen to as they were to imagine...Amp Fiddler in the room with Sly & Robbie...Horace Andy singing over Ashley Beedle tracks...Mulatu creating with the Heliocentrics...Jimi Tenor working it out with Tony Allen..top notch! Strut have also released some great re-edit 12"s, groovy disco projects, and a couple absolutely banging Black Rio comps. We could do a lovely Brasil Selection just pulling from these two albums.

A quick reprsise of last week's Strut Special Selection with Trio Mocoto's Nago from Black Rio and then it's back into more Fela bizniz. We get into a bit of boogie and house flavor before closing out with a Bobbi Humphrey classic. Everything seemed to flow fairly well this week. We'll call it the luck of the Irish. Happy St Patrick's Day!!

Cheers friends, welcome back. Another afro odyssey this week as we venture through some broken beats, a re-edit of a classic, cutups, afro house action, and a touch of latin flavor in the mix before we return full circle with a couple raw afro vibes.

Dele Sosimi spent 7 years playing keys with Fela Kuti and the Egypt 80 band before striking out with Femi Kuti as a founding member of the Positive Force. You may recognize this favorite from Dele's solo career that gets a nice rework here. Gilles Peterson's Havana Cultura project tackles another classic with their latin tinged take on Fela's Roforofo Fight. Masters At Work flip the great Willie Bob, Dackin Dackino provides another taste from the Afro Rock Vol 1 comp newly released on Strut Records, and and early cut from Segun Bucknor taken from the Black Man's Cry comp out now on Now and Again Records that takes a look at the long shadow cast by Lagos Legend and original Black President Fela Kuti. Enjoy!

Lush Life pt 2  DJ Offbeat

Chris Galvan really took the lead with this one and set the perfect pace with a deep and rootsy, classic vibe.  I wanted to maintain the flow while featuring some modern dancefloor standbys from my record bag.  After heating up the beats a bit, I couldn't help but turn back the clock a touch.  

It's classic sounds turned upside down as we take flight with the Schema Sextet.  Catch the vibe then check the date on this burner.  Andy Bey speaks cosmic truth with vintage vibes before Soil & Pimp lets the lion off the leash.  Next up is a double shot of a label that I am loving as of late, Record Kicks, who are dropping vinyl that will melt the decks.  It's the Milano Jazz Dance Combo with a tune that reminds me of a long lost Schema treasure voiced by the undeniable Colonel Red, sounding heavenly and reminding us all to reach just that high.  Ray Harris and the Fusion Experiment hails from Glascow and they turn out some serious sounds!

I felt that the timeless 'Compared To What' had to be pulled out as a tip of the hat to a pair of our drinking companions from Saturday night.  Some people just get it, while some people never will; we've gotta love them all because there's no denying that people make the world go 'round!

I've just recently come across this tune from the Harris Simon Group.  I've been digging it and wanted to share.  The circle completes with a trio of giants in  Jaco Pastorius, Jon Lucien, and Michael White.

Inspiration information all around!!
