Named in direct reference to arguably one of the greatest albums ever created, "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane, "Giant Stops" pays homage to the rich legacy of jazz while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a contemporary twist. The album seamlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and electronic elements to create a unique sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and modern.

For Minus & MRDolly, "Giant Stops" represents a new chapter in his evolution as a musician, showcasing his growth and commitment to pushing boundaries in his genre-bending style. Taking inspiration from the creative process of Makaya McCraven, the album features dynamic instrumentals backed by a live band, with Minus & MRDolly's signature lyricism and storytelling shining through both the instrumentals and the lended work of guest musician such as Meta_ or Luca Argel. By using this production method the album takes a bold stand for the importance of sampling as an art form hoping to encourage listeners to appreciate the rich history and evolution of hip hop and to recognize the essential role that sampling has played in shaping the genre.

As a nod to his Portuguese roots, "Giant Stops" represents a deeper exploration of the artist's identity and a commitment to looking inward to find creative inspiration. With this album, Minus & MRDolly hopes to inspire others to embrace their own unique perspectives and use them to create art that connects with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

In a world where technology threatens to replace human creativity, "Giant Stops" is a reminder that the power of art to connect with people on a fundamental level is enduring and will continue to shape our world for generations to come.

LYRICS
When I’m good, I know it
When I’m bad I don’t know why
If you like it, you should show it
before we run right out of night 
Tired of the bar scene 
the stupid parties
getting makeup off my face
and glitter out the carpet    
Meet me in the elevator, let’s press all the buttons
we can say our goodbyes later
place is faded won’t remember nothing
 
Visine, cab fare, dry shampoo
I’ll take another like déjà—you
should let your guard down
I laid all my cards out 
Bells are ringing last round
but I’m not turning back now

This might be love
it’s still too close to call
But when the lights come up
don’t wanna be the flower on the wall 
Our nights are numbered 
you can count them as they fall 
But I like the thunder 
I’m here to feel it all

I know something’s missing 
I know something isn’t right
Seems like the good ones always hidden
somewhere just outta sight 
I think I’m ready, but I can’t say that I’m not afraid 
I got a sense of direction that gets in my own way 
I know at best it gets messy
nobody’s got an extra heart on hand to break

Dark eyes, allspice, hey look who
walked in shark fin headed for the pool table 
oooh maybe 
we could shoot a few later 
I got things to do but this game is better two-player

"The World is but a Mystery" is the official debut single from ttwig – a new solo project from JUICEB☮X (the vocal half of Fresh Selects duo, Figmore). 

A veritable Swiss Army knife of talent – JUICEB☮X raps, sings, produces, and plays just about every instrument (even including the trumpet), and his prolific releases over the years have run the gamut of different styles – proudly dubbing his label for self-releases, "Ellen DeGenreless." 

And now, with his new ttwig moniker, taken from a song title on JUICEB☮X's 2021 'Overthin King' LP, he's purposefully honing in on a more specific sound – one rooted in the more psychedelic side of nostalgia, centered around more organic sounds and textures, and mostly focusing on his singing, songwriting and live instrumentation. 

A proper full-length ttwig LP is still to come – stay tuned for more...

“Sammy Bananas is back with “massave”, his second EP on Bastard Jazz. 3 syncopated, groove-heavy originals and a stellar remix from Bad Colours cover a range of moods and dance floor energies, laced with pianos, live bass, saxophone and a touch of nostalgia. Sammy cut his teeth in music busking with his sax on Mass Ave in Cambridge, and each track on the EP is named after a now-closed business on that street: a burrito spot, a video rental store, and the first club which gave this seasoned DJ a residency.”

The perpetual Fresh Selects Remix Series continues on with our seventh episode – this time in the form of Royce Wood Junior's most recent single getting a new redux from fellow Londoner multi-talent, Harve. 

Recently selected as a new personal favorite of Sir Elton John himself for his 'Rocket Hour' radio show on Apple Music 1, "You're So Fuckin' Perfect" is RWJ's jangling Funk rumination on the ever-foreboding A.I. tech and all that comes with it – now given an appropriately Electronic tilt by Harve, with glitches and robo-stutters abound, all underlined with a seismic bassline worthy of only the most proper soundsystems. 

Handpicked by Royce as the ideal remixer to do the honors – Harve has been making waves over the last few years with a string of singles starting in 2018 and two subsequent EP's since (2020's 'Held By The Moon' and their latest, 'In Time', released just last month). First introduced as a vocalist, Harve has recently started to delve further into the world of production – which this remix only solidifies the fact that they are one of the most exciting new artists in the craft.

Remix Produced by Harve 
Mixed by William Arcane 
Mastered by Kevin Tuffy @ Manmade Mastering
