Weaving sinuous bass lines, floating woodwinds, and delicate percussion with field recordings, ‘Approach to Anima' is the kind of album you’ll listen to in ten years, and it’ll sound just as good as it does today.

Today, we have the first play of 'Kaiju Kaiju' by Orio Pena. Carried by Merikukka Kiviharju's expressive vocals, which sit on top of deep-filled double bass and a percussion-heavy underbelly. Sumptuously triumphant sax notes and gently caressed piano chords complete the composition.

Pulsating and intricate sounds abound from the Swiss group @arthurhnatek Trio. A patchwork of complex percussive rhythms scattered amongst beautiful, haunting melodic saxophone phrases weaving in and out of tight rumbling basslines is what you'll hear when you press play on 'Pulser'.

We're premiering Feel Good and listening to the song; it's clear @davidkofi's live performances are filled with energy and unpredictability. His style is vibrant, playing on classic jazz tropes while maintaining a distinct and captivating sound.
