ALCHEMY STUDIO BEATS

Amidst the fervent anticipation of the release of Stac's long awaited second album (due in the spring of 2014) our favourite soulful songstress has found the time to gather together ten of her favourite pieces of contemporary music for your delictation, in the shape of the third instalment of the "Allo Love" series.

Stac is a real music lover (not a fighter) and her selection exemplifies the breadth of her knowledge, and her perfectly pitched taste. A sonorous collection, it kicks off in grandiose style with music from The London Bulgarian Choir, no less, and remains in deep musical waters with the Matthew Herbert produced Hejira, trumpeter and friend Matthew Halsall and close contemporaries, Natural Self and Blue Daisy.

You'll also find a quartet of cherry picked Wah Wah 45s nuggets, with music from The Gene Dudley Group, Henri-Pierre Noel, Lea Lea and Scrimshire fitting perfectly into Stac's personal soundtrack, and the latter's cut also featuring the lady herself on fine vocal form. 

Finally, Stac also appears on a stunning downtempo delight from the mysterious William Sommers with whom she duets on the delicate "Delight", a tune that sums this compilation up perfectly. Enjoy.

🎷 Basement Blues – Lounge Jazz Café Collection

Basement Blues sinks into the warm glow of lounge jazz and café-style blues, a soundtrack for dim corners, clinking glasses, and late-night conversations. 🕯️🍷 Smooth saxophone lines, mellow piano chords, upright bass, and brushed drums flow together to create an atmosphere that’s both intimate and timeless.

Each track feels like a smoky evening in a tucked-away jazz bar, where the music lingers in the air like perfume and stories unfold slowly. Perfect for unwinding, studying, or savoring a quiet night with good company. 🌙🎶

'My Drouthy Cronie' is a line from the Robert Burn's poem, 'Tam o' Shanter', and is a tribute to the many 'drouthy cronies' I have shared time with over the past 60 years or so. Some have passed and some are still alive and kicking. I thank them all for sharing some of their valuable time with me.

All of this helped bring in a golden era of sampler based music, although on 'On', more live instrumentation is used than any other of the Funki Porcini albums previously. The greatest provocateur and humorist of the early Ninja period, Funki re-animates with his sound intact yet sounding utterly contemporary. Funki Porcini has promised to not let it go so long before his next release . . . :: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Funki-Porcini/112530708760926?ref=ts">Funki Porcini Facebook Page</a> :: <a href="http://www.twitter.com/funkiporcini">Funki Porcini Twitter</a>

Another draft I "finished". It started with the piano loop from a jam I recorded in December 2016 at my friend's in Rodalquilar. I added up an additional trumpet take I didn't use for 'bristol chords'.

Vocals are taken from a CD I found at the library : "Le Chant Des Femmes Bulgares".

As I get more emotionally detached from my work, I don't really know much what to think about it. I kinda like it, though I hear a voice that says "it could be better". Sure, but in in the end, it is what it is. And I move on.
