After seven albums and almost two decades of blessing us discerning musical folk with the very best in disco and house that the UK has to offer, the stars have aligned and Crazy P has collided with Classic in the outer hemispheres of sonic glory. ‘Truelight EP’ demonstrates fully the unique and superior disco/house hybrid sound that has carved Crazy P’s legend into the bedrock of both those beloved genres. 

‘One True Light’ provides cosmic clusters of subtle beats that sparkle and shimmer, with plenty of that well-versed groove that seems so effortless to the Crazy P crew. ‘In My Hands’ follows some darker twists with a haunting crunching bassline and organ stabs. Topping it all off are remixes of both tracks, one by Crazy P member Hot Toddy aka Chris Todd, drawing on that memorable snaking bottom line and amping up the production with echoes of Donna Summer seduction. Keeping it firmly within the camp, co-founder Ron Basejam remixes ‘One True Light’, taking the tempo down to create lush, psychedelic soundscapes. There’s no doubt, Crazy P are stronger and more relevant than ever.

Today Is the Day (Linkwood Chop)

Meet Me On The Corner is taken from the album ‘Orange Whip’ which was BBC 6 Music’s Album of The Day on its release. A pounding beat beefed up by bass, guitar and brass, propels forward while ‘Ríoghnach Connolly’ (pronounced Rainer) sings lyrics that could be straight out of the playground, but suggest something a little deeper.

Here is a remix from the legends of funky house music, ‘Crazy P’ with both vocal and dub versions. Turning Honeyfeet’s latest opus into a straight up soulful disco monster by ‘Hot Toddy’ and ‘Ron Basejam’, with Rioghnach’s rasping vocals playfully meandering over crisp beats and trademark live bass.

JJ Whitefield - the German multitalent - has been living in San Francisco before coming back to Germany and now recording "Brother All Alone" - A Jazz Funk album with some of the best young heads from the new Berlin Hipster Jazz scene. The album could make some waves as Whitefield has prominent fans all over the world: American dons like Madlib, DJ Shadow, Dan Auerbach, Mark Ronson to the UK Jazz heads around the Gilles Peterson and Shabacka scene. Many of the albums of his former bands are cult. So this next step in his carrier will get some attention too.

The Pendletons return with a remix of the final single from their long awaited debut LP "2 Steps Away" . "Keep It Working" is a foot stomping disco bomb of a track with melodic keys, horns slap bass and guest vocals from UK Soul Queen Gizelle Smith.
"Keep It Working was written with a feeling of late 70's early 80's disco gospel vibe.  After lyrics were written I enlisted British songstress Gizelle Smith (Jalapeño Records) to join me on vocals to give it the disco diva touch.  It's our attempt to create a tune that Larry Levan would be proud to spin at the Loft!! " - Eric Boss (The Pendletons)
The track received further disco enhancement from NYC disco don Jacques Renault, resulting in almost 6min of scintillanting and garage-esque goodness.

Tenderlonious led jazz quartet, Ruby Rushton, return with a brand new limited 7” single, a swift response to their highly acclaimed “Ironside” album released back in April of this year. These two new tracks continue to push the bands sound into newterritory.

'Overture 1' is a brand new composition from Ruby Rushton keyboard player Aidan Shepherd. Taking inspiration from bands like Weather Report and Soft Machine, its explosive introduction leads you to a dub-like breakdown, creating an open space for Shepherd to let loose his synthesizer for some deep space, Headhunters’esque exploration. 

'Yardley Suite' is a song first conceived by band leader Ed ‘Tenderlonious’ Cawthorne back in 2012. Having lied dormant for several years it felt like an appropriate time to pull it back out the bag. It’s a composition inspired by Cawthorne’s solo work as an electronic producer, under his alias Tenderlonious. Always wanting to merge his various approaches, 'Yardley Suite' is the perfect mix of Jazz and House. With a steady four tothe floor beat and snappy horn lines its sure to work its magic on dancefloors around the globe. 

Having focused on improvisation and more “open” compositions in the past, the bands new direction is geared towards tighter, more groove-orientated arrangements. This exciting new material is yet further evidence that this is a highly prolific band at the top of their game, continually evolving, stretching out their own unique sound across the full jazz spectrum. 

This is a, one off run, limited edition 7" single. 300 copies only with bespoke painted artwork from Lorna Robertson. No repress!

Tokyo-based ten-piece and wild Japanese folk-song fusionists, Minyo Crusaders join forces with Colombian cumbia radicals Frente Cumbiero on Minyo Cumbiero, a collaborative release that fuses ancient Japanese folk songs with heavyweight Colombian styles.

Second single Tora Joe (Tiger Woman) is an ancient Japanese festival song given a Shangaan-electro style beat to become a 158bpm canival raver. Faster, harder and more aggressive than the debut single from the project - a reworking of the cumbia classic Cumbia Del Monte with Japanese vocals which has now been streamed over a million times – the differing styles of the two lead tracks shows the diversity of this EP. Other tracks are Mambonegro Daisakusen a chicha and salsa-styled boogaloo and Opekepe, the oldest traditional Japanese rap song here given a bubbling dancehall-reggaeton beat, rumbling dub FX and beguiling flute hook.

Recorded across two days in Bogota in August 2019 Minyo Cumbiero captures a thrilling exchange between two radical and triumphant groups. Japan and Colombia may be cultural opposites on different sides of the world, yet the countries are bursting at the seams musically and on this EP both groups stridently drive their respective music cultures and histories in exciting new directions with powerhouse horn sections, rippling dub basslines and rampant Afro-Latin polyrhythms creating carnival grooves, released here via London-based label, Mais Um.

For an uncompromisingly contemporary and inventive take on traditional Colombian cumbia, look no further than Frente Cumbiero. Headed by Colombian songwriter and producer Mario Galeano Toro (also a founding member of Ondatrópica and Los Pirañas), the Bogota-based crew have spearheaded Colombia’s thriving new-look cumbia movement for well over a decade, fusing cumbia rhythms and bass weight electronics with releases featuring collaborations with the legendary London-based dub producer, Mad Professor and US-based Kronos Quartet.

Following the release of their acclaimed debut album, Echoes of Japan in 2019, Minyo Crusaders - or MinCru as their Japanese fans know them as – have won-over a global audience with their unique take on Japanese folk music. A debut debut European tour in 2019 saw main-stage performances at Le Guess Who and Transmusicales and was soon followed by shows at WOMADelaide and WOMAD New Zealand in early 2020 that saw audiences intoxicated by their mix of traditional Japanese folk songs (min’yō) and Afro-funk, Thai pop, Ethio-jazz and reggae. Fronted by singers “Freddy” Tsukamoto (his nickname comes from his hero, Freddie Mercury) and Megu, with guitarist and bandleader Katsumi Tanaka, the members of the ten-piece are drawn from Tokyo’s vibrant and diverse jazz and Afro-Latin scenes.

Celebrating all styles of contemporary jazz from a myriad of fresh, exciting talents within the Lowlands, Super-Sonic Jazz Records is proud to announce its first label compilation featuring some of the finest, and diverse jazz, and jazz-influenced tracks from the scene’s very best. Super-Sonic Family Vol.1 directly follows up the sold-out Super-Sonic Jazz Festival that took place at Amsterdam’s Paradiso late last year, and is the culmination of years of dedicated work throwing events, and releasing records.

The thirteen-track compilation as compiled by KC The Funkaholic and brothers Vincent and Siemen Tenzers — the central figures behind Super-Sonic Jazz — is a snapshot of the rising jazz scene in the Netherlands, featuring a strong assortment of styles and practises, all built around a central jazz ethos. It’s a local breed of talent that has been fostered and championed by the Super-Sonic family for several years now, and with the compilation they’ve captured the Joie de vivre of the refreshed youthfulness that has been shaping the area’s musical direction. From housier beats, to fast tempos and smooth grooves with global sounds, the variety of styles and practises shows how the different communities and artists — whether they be established or fully recognised —have managed to build bridges between themselves through a strong connection the unorthodox rhythms and dark arts of soulful, and beat-driven jazz.

Featured on the record of the sounds of several producers, including local soulful beat-maker Planty Herbs, Rhythm Section producer Duke Hugh who brings a touch of cinematic percussion with an impassioned danceable gem, plus Rotterdam’s very own Ranie Ribeiro, aka. Ranie Ribeiro who channels energy from Cape Verde with some harp-heavy dancefloor sounds. Served up also is a smooth variety of extremely prodigious instrumentation; keys-man and Cinematic Orchestra alumni Dominic J Marshall splashes out with a blissful Rhodes jam, Super Sonic’s very own GreyHeads unleash their own re-interpretation of drum & bass, soul music, while Arp Frique’s Djosa lays down some instrumental, exotic jazz, boogie disco. In addition, renowned muso Trian Kayhatu is on board with some straight-up future soul, Son Swagga sets down some psychedelic jazz fusion, and Dominic J Marshall collaborator Glenn Gaddum Jr., aka, one of the Netherlands’ best bass players, bring a touch of class, with his effortless and dreamy music.

What started out as a series of events and shows at Paradiso has now gone on to become one of the most prolific hubs for jazz in the Netherlands. The label has gone on to bridge gaps between classic and modern scenes by re-releasing long lost gems alongside releases from the some of the scene’s newest, underground talents. Alongside the festival, the Super-Sonic Family compilation is just the latest step in the their development, and an important benchmark in the region’s jazz legacy.
