Following the critically-acclaimed 2012 release of their beat-centric compilation <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bastardjazz/sets/tall-black-guy-presents">'Tempo Dreams Vol. 1'</a> (assembled by Detroit/UK producer-at-large Tall Black Guy), Brooklyn wax purveyors Bastard Jazz Recordings have returned with Volume 2 of the enlightening, genre-bending series. This time around, the label has enlisted Bay Area mainstay DJ/producers Teeko & B. Bravo, driving forces behind the transformative “modern funk” sound emerging out of the West Coast. Sticking with the series' theme of showcasing new styles and emerging artists, curated by their own musical peers, Teeko and Bravo have conjured up an LP of mind-blowing tracks that push the limits of soulful electronic funk, outernational boogie, and cosmic hip-hop.

'Tempo Dreams Volume 2' picks up where the first edition left off, bridging the gaps between various geographic locations and local scenes, while also reaching for new heights with soaring vocal features and dance-floor primed beats. The compilers' home town is heavily represented through hits like the 80's R&B-styled bomb “Hard Pressed” by Rojai and E.Live, the deep & sexy nighttime-synth vibes of K-Maxx (“Dreamin’ Of You”), and an unreleased sun-drenched remix of the Bayonics track “Wheels". Left coast collective Mugpush bring more heat on “Came Too Far”, channeling a deft balance of smooth P-Funk with killer rhymes from the ever-versatile Black Spade. Teeko and Bravo's own Starship Connection keeps things bumping with “We Can Go All Night”, complete with sexy boogie thump, understated vocals and twinkling synths. Europe and the UK also supply their take on this sound, with the nasty vocodor funk of “Dans” by Belgium’s Pomrad, the bass-heavy Atjazz creeper “One” (featuring wunderkind Amalia’s woozy vocals), and the swirling UK electro-hop of the Insomniax ("A Vibe For Chrissy"), with it’s lovelorn hip-hop vocals.

Individually, both Teeko and B.Bravo have hefty resumes: Bravo is a 2010 graduate of Red Bull Music Academy with releases on Brownswood, Frite Nite and Ernest Endeavors. His tune “Computer Love” was named one of 2009’s best tracks by Benji B (BBC Radio 1). He’s shared the stage with artists like Chromeo, Dam-Funk, Flying Lotus and serenaded crowds across the world with his bass heavy outerspace boogie and dirty grinding synth grooves at festivals like SXSW, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and Sonar in Barcelona. Teeko, creator of SF’s infamous 4ONEFUNK crew, has been a key player in the next generation of the Bay Area’s Turntablist scene and has been called “the most insane & creative turntablist I have ever worked with" by Mark Ronson, who featured him on his Record Collection album. Recent years have had Teeko looking towards production with his debut album Turn Off The Dark and his collaboration with B.Bravo as The Starship Connection, churning out cosmic, sludgy electronic funk music on Salva’s Fritenite label. The duo's deft ear and unparalleled musical credentials inspired Bastard Jazz to enlist them for this next expedition into Tempo Dreams. "We wanted to represent soulful music being made by our piers from all over the world," says B. Bravo "Artists from California to New York, Canada, London, Germany all with different modern styles but sharing a common thread of being influenced by funk and soul."

Yeah I had it hard 
But I ain't had it like this
I sit and jog my memory 
As I try and reminisce 
I was only 17 and my life took a dip
Family suicide 
I felt like I wanted to quit 
Fast forward 
See another version of me opposite 
We're so similar 
That in my gut I felt sick
Except I'm on the other side now
That child calls me miss
I said I understand 
While not letting the tears drip
As we sit 
On top of that
It seems their home life is a myth
I know mine weren't the best
I'll admit but my mum never quit 
These days it's so much harder 
Just to fit 
Their gotta find themselves a clique
At a click 
And their fight net drama 
And pornograpy pics
The sensation leaves a dip
When their emotions hit 
But why resist huh?
It's seems that Facebook’s 
Tryna disprove Christ 
So now their just deleting God 
From their life
Is that right?

Hey little brother
Hey little sister
Do you know your ready?
Try to remember 
When they're looking heavy 
Don't feel the pressure 
Your skills are many 
We'll pull together 
Hey little brother 
Hey little sister 
Do you know your ready
Try to remember
They can't tell you different 
You can be whatever 
I see the way your thinking
Your mind’s really clever 

It seems like every kid that I've met
at some point has been bullied 
He might be estranged 
Then again
His dad might be at the bookies 
Or his mum might be pushy 
Put herself first rookie 
You might just see a hoodie 
He's a sheep in wolves clothing really 
I see them 
souls that will make your heart melt 
Sitting their 
I can't tell you how I felt 
He's a product of society 
And now he needs our help 
If he could only see the skills 
In himself 
He's got a heart full of wealth 
Your talented
Don't kill you mind with Cannbis 
I know you've seen calamity 
Through sweat and tears 
You've managed it 
Articulated analyst 
Just use it as a catalyst 
The makings of an activist 
Yeah you can beat the challenges 
You got big tracks 
And spit game 
But sometimes you don't come in 
Because you can't afford the train
It's ok young Donny 
Theirs no need to be ashamed 
No need to overcompensate 
When you talk of Cash 
And big chains 

-Hook-

Do you know your ready
Try to remember
They can't tell you different 
You can be whatever 
I see the way your thinking
Your mind’s really clever 

I ain't tryna knock you
I see you got that hood fame 
You can spit a sick verse 
Create a picture 
No frame
I see you got it in your veins
Some of your tracks are insane
No I don't want you detained 
So I don't back it 
when you rap 'bout cocaine (Na man)
My little friend 
I ain't seen him in a while 
Give him praise 
He'll light up the whole room 
With his smile   
Now his missing 
I know you got our problems 
Yeah I feel frustrated 
Cause I can't cure any of them 
Plus 
I'm Aunty Tor 
I'm thinking bout 
My nieces and my nephews 
There's dramas 
And I'm tryna think of ways 
That I can rescue 
Its hurts so much 
Be need to see that God 
He is the refuge
It's not what I do
You're gonna be incredible 
You're reaching for the stars 
Leave behind all your baggage 
You won't even need a car 
I ain't talking bout the riches 
When I say you'll go far 
Free your mind and you'll be higher
Than The shard 
You're large

Day Dreaming (Aretha Tribute)

Corinthian Cadillac is the first project between between platinum-selling producer J.Kelr (of Blended Babies) and the elusive master beatsmith Kenny Keys. 

J.Kelr, who has produced for Chance the Rapper, Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar and Ro James melds his soul production with Kenny Keys’ knack for finding the rhythm and pulse of any project. 

Assembling an array of artists, including veterans Jon B and Twista (on Politics), along with artists making major waves  like Melo-Makes-Music, Jacquie Lee, Armani White and others -  they cover the landscape of Rap, R&B and Soul for a classy 
re-introduction to big booty music. The first single So It Goes featuring Swsh, Rich Jones, and Appleby is a whole vibe sure to get the heads nodding. 

After first coming together in 2011 to produce the title track on 
Asher Roth’s Pabst & Jazz project, they bring their musical chemistry to fruition with Corinthian Cadillac. The end result invites the listener to feel the vibes and the suede interior, as they take a ride in a classic Caddy through the soul of the city.
