Plaything: Cipher

new galactica era

Just imagine if this happened and picture the setting…

It’s the late 1930’s and the local jazz club is packed to the brim with people awaiting the rapper Nas and his jazz musicians (orchestrated by Producer Funky DL) along with featured artists to come and play a 10-track set to forever be remembered. The lights are dim and the hall is filled with smoke, whilst the clinking sound of champagne flutes ambiently gesture in the atmosphere. Nas and Funky DL are having their picture taken outside the club in an array of spotlights glaring from their vehicles (see artwork). Then it happens… The two step inside and “JAZZMATIC” erupts … All you have to do now is… “press play”...  (PLEASE NOTE, THIS IS THE INSTRUMENTAL VERSION)

08. None Love (Jazzstrumental)

Precisely a year and a day from the release of the popular 2012 instrumental album "Too Hard to Beat", Funky DL returns in 2013 with "From Street to Sweet" Instrumentals as the follow up.

The set mirrors it predecessor in comprising of 19 instrumental gems, some of which were previously unheard and unreleased. DL handles the beats on this one supremely well as the album drifts from tracks with harder hitting grooves to progress through the album to a more neo-soulic and smooth selection, but in keeping with a ‘reminiscent of hip-hop’ feel.

Just listening closely will demonstrate that DL takes charge with or without the use of breaks where some selections completely rely on live musician contribution in complement of DL programming and skilful arrangements.

Hip-hop fans all over the world have already been abundantly blessed with "Jazzmatic", DL's FREE onslaught remix project released earlier in 2013, which focusd on bringing to life some of - Queensbridge's King of Hip-hop - Nas' classics in the form of jazz laiden compositions. The project went down incredibly well with hip-hop lovers globally and showcased an already 'more than capable' Funky DL as a producer among the hip-hop realm. The "From Street to Sweet instrumental album however, exemplifies that DL can work outside of the typical sample based format but still keep the rhythmic and melodic gestures that true music lovers can appreciate.

All that's left to be said is, "he did it again"... 

01. In My Own Words (Instrumental)

Ambition reaches maturity when momentum no longer depends on force, but on structure. This volume moves beyond pursuit and into command, where direction is maintained through precision rather than urgency. Each track reinforces a sense of forward continuity—pressure applied evenly, intention held steady. There is weight here, but also balance: ambition tempered into a durable form that resists collapse. By the final moments, movement solidifies into state, and progress becomes permanent, not as an outcome, but as a condition.
