Indonesian trio Batavia Collective follow up their stunning debut single, ‘Affirmation’, with another dazzling production and display of musical mastery.  On ‘Propulsion’, the Jakarta based threesome of Doni Joesran, Elfa Zulham and Kenny Gabriel surge to dizzying heights, as jazz chops and expert skills result in a breath taking and powerful instrumental, drenched in mesmerising melodies and dramatic passages.

But don’t just call it jazz, as BTCV explain “we are often asked what kind of jazz this is.  To tell you the truth we don’t know. We don’t even know if our music can be considered jazz or not.”

The streets and sounds of Jakarta have also had an audible impact on the players, creating a hot and eclectic mix of erratic patterns and colourful themes. Seasoned musicians, Joesran, Zulham and Gabriel initially met when they were assembled to play covers of popular hip-hop and jazz songs; the idea of starting their own band together gestated from there, spontaneously coming to their compositions by allowing influences from all genres and styles into the mix. “We create the music through jamming, and afterwards, we vote on certain compositions together,” say the collective, wielding an open-ended way of structuring the band and their future goals. “In the end, the purpose is mainly to have fun.”

Where does your dream start?

dreamcastmoe aka Davon Bryant-Mason is a lifelong resident of Washington DC, formerly the chocolate city. He is the singer, songwriter, producer who since 2017 has quietly been releasing some of the most hotly tipped and underground genre spanning music.	

Traversing across R&B, funk, soul, jazz and hip-hop, Bryant slickly moves between styles and tones. This ability to twist and turn in different directions - yet remain stylistically coherent - can be traced to his home city of DC and the makeup of the neighbourhoods.

His beats are a mirror to his life lived and experienced there. “I would not be where I am today if I weren’t from DC,” he says. “You can hear DC in the way that I talk. Certain runs in my voice are rooted to the soul of DC because I listen to a lot of Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye. I would say DC has a role in my approach to my music and sets the tone. I’m one of those people that could work with anyone. I always try to bring the best out of people. That’s just how I grew up. I grew up in a smorgasbord of a city where one block could be hood shit and the next block could be the White House. You have to know how to move accordingly through all those spaces.”
