On today's exclusive, London-based trio St. Barbe blend jazz and rock with style on their forthcoming single, "Tellicherry".

"Telliicherry" features heavy grooves, memorable melodies and ethereal textures, presenting a fresh fusion of contemporary jazz and rock. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Tigran Hamaysan, Animals As Leaders and Plini, the track represents an evolution in the band’s sound, with improvisation as the undercurrent to a rich arrangement and creative production choices.

According to the band, ""Tellicherry" is the culmination of everything we’ve been working on the last few years. We’ve spent more time producing and arranging this track whilst still trying to keep the improvised elements that were a big part of our debut E.P. We’re really pleased with the direction it’s taken and are excited to share it with everyone. "

Like a long-lost Holy Grail album from the mid-seventies, Kirk Degiorgio’s latest project, Modal Forces / Percussive Forces, explores both Modal Jazz and Seventies Jazz Fusion in the Library album format. Side One swings with a vengeance with its tight arrangements built around acoustic bass, electric piano and glorious analog synth leads and side 2 takes us on a journey of funk fuelled, percussive workouts and heavy breaks. The contributions of renowned session drummer Chris Whitten adds to the authenticity of the album as does the use of vintage, analog synths.

Now, as a taster of what's to come on this album, BBE is releasing Beersheba as the first single from the project. In true library music style Beersheba comes in at less than 4 minutes but manages to create an atmosphere and a story. With the keys overlaying a melody and a refrain on top of a bass and drum break rhythm this track not only paints a picture but also builds to a lovely mid-tempo dancefloor groove that tantalises the listener as to what the next track will be.

Kirk Degiorgio is a DJ, composer and music lover whose influences, from family and then going out to clubs from under-18 discos to attending the Belvedere Arms and 'Shoom' and working in Reckless Records, cover all genres of Black music. From Soul, Jazz-Funk, Funk and then House and Detroit Techno Kirk has a love and an appreciation for how all these sounds work together and evolve from each other.

Tony Minvielle on Jazz FM : 5th Feb 2023 De La Soul

cqqlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/leonar…arles-heaven

The “Heaven” EP features producer-extraordinaire Leonard Charles at the helm, collaborating with prodigious artists from New Zealand (his home country) and the USA, to create a wildly eclectic E.P. project with the common underlying thread of basement funk knitting it together. This presentation of funk is truly a legitimate foundation for the heads that need it: built upon solid soul/jazz chord progressions and played on original musical equipment/gear from the 80’s and 90’s. The record features an exclusive remix of the song “Nine Lives” that he co-wrote with boogie/funk legend Leroy Burgess, and additionally features stellar collaborations with Guilty Simpson, Zyah Belle, Reality Jonez and A.C. Freazy.

Into My Spine

I run

Liquid SAGAN is a cosmic liquid drum & bass meditation—ten weightless tracks built from rolling breaks, warm sub-bass, and whispered Sagan-inspired mantras. Minimal words, maximum space. Each song is a small lens onto the universe: atoms drifting, stars humming, signals rising and falling in the quiet between galaxies.
Designed for deep focus, soft awe, and late-night motion, the album blends emotional liquid DnB with contemplative science—an ambient journey through scale, stillness, and the fragile beauty of a pale blue world seen from far, far away.
