Foshe and Bentley are two separate entities who regularly collaborate in their home city of Sydney. Foshe create fully improvised polyrhythmic-afro-Latin-synth-ambient-jazz-house. The trio have been gigging heavily from 2018, engaging in energetic weekly residencies, and supporting artists from Lonnie Liston Smith to the 30/70 collective, Horatio Luna and ZFEX, GODTET and more.

Mike Bentley is a drummer who collaborates with friends around Sydney/Melbourne, creating deeply groovy, rhythmically hypnotic journeys through jazz, hip hop and house, inspired by the likes of Kamaal Williams & Vijay Iyer. Producing modern jazz-house combined with odd time signatures, Mike was a key driving force behind this set of new, live recordings.

The ‘Parlour Cucina’ album is the result of a live residency at the Sydney venue of the same name. The residency was split between sets with the regular Foshe trio (Mike, Zigi, Tom) and open collaborations with other artists through Bentley.

'Breadsticks' is the first track to be lifted from the album which is being released via Headcount Records on May 31st

Celebrating eighty years of life and a sixty year career, Brazilian legend Marcos Valle announces the lead single “Life Is What It Is”, from his forthcoming album Túnel Acústico.

Composed in late seventies LA alongside Laudir De Oliveria from the band Chicago, “Life Is What It Is” was first released on Chicago’s Chicago 13 album, with lyrics by Robert Lamb. 

Over four decades later, Marcos Valle looks back upon his good times on the West Coast, recording his own version of “Life Is What It Is” for his new album Túnel Acústico. Valle’s new version ups the tempo and deepens the groove for a blast of irresistible summer soul.

Amongst a host of other songs bringing together the sounds and spirit of Valle’s astounding career, Túnel Acústico also features “Feels So Good”: Valle’s long lost collaboration with soul icon and producer extraordinaire Leon Ware - also written in late seventies LA.

“Life Is What It Is” releases as a digital single on 25th July 2024, before the full vinyl, CD, cassette and digital release of Túnel Acústico on the 20th September 2024, via Far Out Recordings.

Eyedress - Sweet Apple Smile

We felt in love with this sweet & sensual by Elia Y Elisabeth. A masterpiece guiding you to summer, a road trip carried by their angel voices. Totally seduced by the sound & production of this album, we enjoyed reworking this track, to give it punch with respect to the original songs. 
We’re sure most of the loop & beats here will definitely stick in your head ! This reworks are a present we do to share how much this album is good and too infamous. De nada ! 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nous sommes clairement tombés amoureux de cet album plein d’insouciance, de légèreté et de sensualité. “Elia Y Elisabeth” nous emportent sur la route de vacances, nous charment avec leurs voix angélique. Conquis aussi par l’ambiance latine, le son et la superbe production de cet album, nous avons pris plaisir à retravailler ces morceaux, sans vouloir en perdre l’essence ni la dénaturer , mais leur donner un nouveau “punch”, trouver “la” boucle parfaite pour l’avoir en tête. Ces “reworks” vous sont offerts pour remettre au goût du jour cet opus trop peu connu. De Nada !
