Discover a first track taken from our new “Brokenbits Vol. 3” VA compilation. New jazzy house production from Horatio Luna @horatio-luna and Nikodimos @bmbbn

This is the latest instalment in our "Brokenbits" series of compilations, featuring productions from our friends and affiliated talents. As always, this new volume explores a wide variety of sounds, with musical works produced by Horatio Luna & Nikodimos, Interface Palm, Slowaxx, and Thermal (Sevenbeatz x Moody Gliani). From uptempo deep cuts, to jazzy house, slow trance and acid broken beat… we once again try to explore with you some uncharted musical territories!

Here we present you a first track from the VA compilation, with Horatio Luna returning on our imprint after his first appearance on Interface Palm’s album "Curated Space". This time, he kicks off the release with a collaborative track with fellow Melbourne musician and producer Nikodimos. Together, they deliver “Fly”, a modern jazzy house ballad that really feels like an improvised jam, with Horatio’s bassline answering to Nikodimos’ saxophone and transverse flute notes. Yet, make no mistake, nothing’s improvised: the two Australian artist gives us an intricated, multi-layered production that will hit jazz-heads right in the heart.

Mr. Big Happy is a graphic designer, artist, DJ, and music archivist from San Francisco, California. While he is an accomplished designer and artist, over the years he has always had a love for music and spends time searching for rare and obscure vinyl. Big Happy’s focus is the late 70s into the late 80s - modern soul, funk, boogie and disco.

THE BIG HAPPY SHOW - SOUTH CAROLINA SOUNDS - 22nd November 2022

Contours & Yadava journey deep into their record collections, drawing out cosmic sounds that touch on jazz, percussive obscurities, blissed-out ambient and minimalism, raw club cuts and any other soulful sounds they stumble across.

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
