Demo Melodies(Mumbling)

The official debut duo project from rapper Milc and producer Andy Savoie. 

'Windbreaker' out now: smarturl.it/milcandywindbreaker

One of Portland’s most brazenly true-to-life lyricists teams up with the multi-talented Portland-raised, Seattle-based producer/musician – both dead-set on the explicit mission of creating a Pacific NW classic. Joining the cause are Portland’s own Soop Dread & Farnell Newton, with Seattle’s Greg Cypher, La, Chima The Stubborn, C'est La and Elan Wright, plus the Big Homie of the group – West Coast all-star, L.A. representative, Blu. 

Raps by Milc
Produced by Andy Savoie

Recorded & Mixed by Elan Wright at Ruby Room Recordings – Seattle, WA
Mastered by Patrick Brown at Different Fur Studios

Milc & Andy Savoie "Blue Faces"

Three years after his Darker Than Wax debut Futuro Tumbao (supported by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Lefto, and Bandcamp Weekly), Kansado returns with a sequel that goes further to introduce fresh new takes on Latin soul. If Futuro Tumbao represented testing the waters of future afro-Cuban music, Futuro Tumbao II is a full-on submersion and exploration into this fusion. Based in uptown New York City, Dominican-American producer Kansado is rooted in the hub of a flourishing afro-latin independent music scene. Kansado fuses the rhythms of the Caribbean and Latin soul with the left field sensibilities of hip hop, neo soul, and lofi to create a musical language all his own.

‘Futuro’ is Spanish for future and ‘Tumbao’ carries two meanings: One, the base rhythm found in afro-Cuban music, and two, swagger. Standout tracks ‘Limber de Coco’ and ‘Suave Como Va’ quote the smooth progressions of latin soul greats Poncho Sanchez and Tito Puente, all the while blurring the lines between the new and traditional - Latin soul meets future funk. ‘El Neo Songo’ and ‘Astral Yambú’ offer a meditative space where the folkloric forms of songo and rumba blend seamlessly into neo soul and jazz. ‘Lala Guayaba’ takes you to the heart of the Dominican Republic and lays wavy synths and guitars over a thumping side chained tambora - introducing a future beat sensibility to merengue.

Futuro Tumbao II is both a love letter to the future of afro-latin music, as well as a strong statement about Kansado’s growth as an artist. With a meticulous approach to songwriting and production, and a reverence for the artists and genres that have inspired him, Kansado has carved out a musical lane all his own.

POSY (aka Rudy Klobas) returns to Bastard Jazz after his breakthrough debut EP, “Abroad,” released last year with a brand new single, “Fill My Cup.” This time the Portland-based producer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist has teamed up with Brandon Markell Holmes, the actor-turned-vocalist known for his contribution on the Grammy-nominated Gorillaz album, “Humanz,” work with friends-of-the-label musclecars, and his own alternative R&B-meets-deep house sound (heard, for example, on 2021’s “Garden” EP with Rogue Vogue, released on toucan sounds). A signature POSY laid back instrumental forms the perfect backdrop for Brandon’s airy falsetto: Syncopated, jazzy keys, a grooving bassline, and slightly swung drums, all played, recorded, and produced by POSY himself.  

POSY is the recording name of Rudy Klobas, Portland-based producer and multi-instrumentalist with a unique sound that intersects jazz, R&B, and electronic music. Originally trained on classical guitar, POSY gradually taught himself piano, bass, and drums and began writing and recording his first songs on a four-track cassette recorder. POSY’s music is lush and densely layered, but maintains an element of simplicity that ultimately leaves one feeling relaxed, nostalgic, and hopeful all at the same time.

Kieron Boothe is a British rapper and Illustrator hailing from East London. He represents a new wave of UK artists whose music is as much rooted in jazz and soul as in new styles. ‘Out Of Sight’ is the first single from his upcoming EP Views From The Bottom, his second solo-release with Melting Pot Music. With artwork by the man himself. 

Raised in Newham, East London, with family ties in Jamaica (his grandfather is a cousin of reggae legend Ken Boothe), Kieron started rapping at the young age of 11, first emerged on the scene in 2012 and has dropped a total of seven projects since. He has contributed to the first volume of The Silhouettes Project and he has recently been featured on songs by edbl, KeepVibesNear and Nikhil Beats. Graduating in Graphic Design from University of the Arts London has given Kieron the advantage of being able to produce branding and marketing material for his own releases as well as a range of other artists both underground and commercial alike.

YONN MANMAN LATÉ FT. Moses Boyd

"Sand Spirit" is the fourth and final single from RUMTUM's upcoming album, 'Arcadian Daze'. Utilizing a muted, understated 2-step UK Garage break that evokes Burial's early work, along with a deep, pulsing bassline throughout. The song atmospherically layers warm, enveloping synth work with an otherworldly Koto-esque string line to create a melancholy, evocative soundscape.'Arcadian Daze' will be out everywhere March 24th.
