Like a long-lost Holy Grail album from the mid-seventies, Kirk Degiorgio’s latest project, Modal Forces / Percussive Forces, explores both Modal Jazz and Seventies Jazz Fusion in the Library album format. Side One swings with a vengeance with its tight arrangements built around acoustic bass, electric piano and glorious analog synth leads and side 2 takes us on a journey of funk fuelled, percussive workouts and heavy breaks. The contributions of renowned session drummer Chris Whitten adds to the authenticity of the album as does the use of vintage, analog synths.

Now, as a taster of what's to come on this album, BBE is releasing Beersheba as the first single from the project. In true library music style Beersheba comes in at less than 4 minutes but manages to create an atmosphere and a story. With the keys overlaying a melody and a refrain on top of a bass and drum break rhythm this track not only paints a picture but also builds to a lovely mid-tempo dancefloor groove that tantalises the listener as to what the next track will be.

Kirk Degiorgio is a DJ, composer and music lover whose influences, from family and then going out to clubs from under-18 discos to attending the Belvedere Arms and 'Shoom' and working in Reckless Records, cover all genres of Black music. From Soul, Jazz-Funk, Funk and then House and Detroit Techno Kirk has a love and an appreciation for how all these sounds work together and evolve from each other.

Returning this week with a big stack of jazz and more I picked up last month in NYC, and also a couple selections in tribute to Harry Belafonte, probably one of the most incredible people to ever walk the earth. I recommend everyone go and pick up his autobiography just to see all the things he was involved in and accomplished. He lived an amazing life, and I start and finish this set with two tunes of his I love. 

Tracklist: Harry Belafonte, Rick Laird, Charlie Antolini, Masaru Imada, Walter Bishop Jr., Ted Vining Trio, Eric Kloss, Roy Ayers, Sunburst, Gil Scott Heron, Don Pullen, Harry Belafonte

Chapter II of Jay Sounds EP Universe is officially out.

Summer Daze (Sunrise EP) | OUT NOW

Get Down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler. Introducing Illa J’s second single “Get Down.” This track offers a glimpse into the creative life of John Yancey, a versatile artist known for his skills as both a rapper and singer-songwriter. “Get Down” is from his upcoming album “No Traffic,” which is entirely written and produced by Illa J himself.

On this soulful track, Illa J is joined by Detroit legend Amp Fiddler on the hook. Fiddler’s contributions to the music industry are vast, having worked with some of the biggest names in the business, including Prince, Moodymann, and J Dilla. Speaking of J Dilla, it’s a ‘Fantastic’ fact that Amp Fiddler is credited with introducing Illa J’s older brother to the Akai MPC in the ’90s? That revolutionary moment changed the direction of music forever.

But let’s get back to Illa J’s lyrical prowess. In “Get Down,” John’s playful style and delivery are on full display as he runs through various aliases from JohnClef to JohnDWayne. With this track, Illa J showcases his musical versatility and gives listeners a glimpse into his world and creative processes. As the chorus says: “They Don’t Know,” and this is your chance to find out.

If you’re a fan of Illa J, don’t miss the chance to pre-order “No Traffic,” his first solo album on the iconic label BBE Music. And if you’re new to his music, “Get Down” is the perfect introduction to this talented artist. Finally, you can rest assured that this track is mastered with love by the Carvery Studios. So what are you waiting for? Get down with Illa J and Amp Fiddler today!
