New release on Ibadan Records: Leads & Bites Vol 4. with music from Massiande, The Prince of Dance, S.A.T. and MLiR & Arnau Obiols

The fourth edition of Ibadan's most popular series is back. "Leads & Bites Vol." continues the tradition of new classic dance floor essentials.

Up first is house DJ and producer Massiande, one of the most captivating talents from South America and notable Housewax alumnus. "Mainline" comes on strong, delivering punchy synth lines and fat beats with an undeniable Chicago spirit. Sharing the A-side is "Lens House" by The Prince of Dance aka Elbee Bad, an edgy sleeper track with eclectic rhythms and a perfect balance of all the classic elements.

Kicking off the B-side are heroes of the hour S.A.T. - Sydenham, AYBEE, and Trent - with "Yaphet", a low-key offering that gradually unfolds into the trio's signature blissed-out, energetic vibe. MLiR and Arnau Obiols wrap it up with "Calanda", a genre-defying foray into organic vocals and experimental sounds nervy, mysterious, and with hints of downtempo electronica.

Timbuktu (Pan African Electro Dub)

 Two of Ibadan's usual suspects team up for one of the labels greatest moments.

Kerri Chandler and Jerome Sydenham bring an exceptional House flavor to NYC Band, The System. They've added new flavor with fresh and innovative production techniques to one of NYC most popular Synth/Pop outfits. 'You're In My System' is clear proof why. Kerri steps in to remix the track with four new versions.

The A1, is the bearer of the You’re In My System (Atmospheric Vocal). A catchy Rhodes melody enters you into the system of what is soon to be taken over by a heartfelt Garage style male vocal.

The A2, is a tried and true dub version of the original. However, the lack of vocals only puts more focus on the escalating and driving horn section.

B1 gets bi-lingual for all our Latinos. "Estas en mi sistema!"

Wrapping up this release on the B2, is Kerri's pure DJ version. Fully equipping, You’re In My System with juicy 909 hats and crackling snares while adding more emphasis to the bass line. An extended breakdown also creates an added element of suspense.

This is New York House at its best. Feel good club music that puts a smile on your face and a little swing in your hips.

Deconstructed House (Phase 2)

Deconstructed House (Pahse 2)

Jerome Sydenham & Dennis Ferrer feat. Jãnia - Deconstructed House (Phase 2)

A seminal productions of the enigmatic tag team of Sydenham & Ferrer.

Ace A&R meets super producer for one of their most organic releases to date, with ‘Kò Kò Part 1’.
Jerome and Dennis showcase their love for fine-tuned percussion with the clangin' and bangin' 'Kò Kò Part 1'. Together with Dominique Kanza and Doug Hinrichs on guitar and percussion respectively, they combine atmospheres of tribal and indigenous spirits with an unmatched fluidness. A perfect way to spice up a straight House set.

With the exception of a kick drum, the, ‘DJ Beat’ version is made up of completely organic percussion, shakers and drums. A jam session that could have found it self taking place hundreds of years ago on the Island of Hispaniola or on the beaches of Bahia.

Something special always seems to arise when these two join forces. Their good friendship and understanding of music always seems to translate into special tracks with a polished mature, yet dance floor ready sound.

Jerome Sydenham, Dennis Ferrer - Kò Kò (Demo Dub)

Only someone with Jerome Sydenham's unique background could have founded a record label as innovative as Ibadan Recordings. He was born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria to an English father and Jamaican mother and schooled in his teens in England before emigrating to New York City in the early 80's. Sydenham's work today is largely influenced by the cultural diversity of his upbringing and has echoes of a musical history that spans indigenous African and contemporary western music.

One of the many artists who benefited from Sydenham's artistic direction was New Jersey based Kerri Chandler. In 1991, Sydenham was part of the A&R team that signed Chandler's debut single "SuperLover/Get it Off", to Atlantic Records and the rest is house music history. Chandler is now acknowledged as one of the original creators of the deep house sound and his bass lines are legendary.

Sydenham and Chandler's ambitions fused creatively with the inception of the Ibadan imprint six years ago. Saturday represents the culmination of their shared experience as music makers, party animals and fathers. Sydenham takes artistic control of the repertoire with an album that reflects the breadth of his musical interests. Chandler acts as a flawless technician, refining and making sense of a wide range of ideas. The record, a well rounded full length, has something for everyone. It combines simple, deep, electronic tracks (Rising the Sun and Winter’s Blessing) with elegant acoustic arrangements (Aro and Deconstructed House). Congolese vocalist Alain Nkosi Konda joins Cameroonian guitarist Dominique Kanza on the mammoth "Ko Ko" produced by Sydenham and Dennis Ferrer of Sfere Records. Sydenham and Ferrer follow up with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Jania on "Deconstructed House", a funky, Brazillian hybrid of influences. Saturday also benefits from a significant input by local New York jazz luminaries. Guests include bassist Tarus Mateen and keyboard player Brian Mitchell.

Reviews
"Perfect sunny afternoon music for midnight groovers" (Urb)
"A gorgeous release, full of variety and originality, and one that grows and gleams more on every listen" (Wax Magazine)
"An embarrassment of riches? An album that fully deserves to be hyped to the max" (Jockey Slut)

Timeless house record by Kerri Chandler for Ibadan Records.

Scandalous! This record was produced by Kerri Chandler as start capital for Jerome Sydenham’s Ibadan label, but subsequently released and sold by another label to the tune of 40,000 copies without Chandler and Sydenham ever knowing. Resplendent with horns, lush strings and layered house beats, it is irrefutably timeless, taking its place among the most captivating dance tracks of past decades.

Atmospheric Beats

Kerri Chandler - Atmospheric Beats (Original Extended Version)

Dub remixes of one of Ibadan's greatest moments from Jerome and Kerri.

'You're In My System' from The System a.k.a Jerome Sydenham and Kerri Chandler, is one of the most recognized Ibadan releases. The sultry males vocals, pristine beats and perfect arrangement make it one of the most sought after releases in the catalog. Although these both appear on the original 12”, these re-mastered maxi versions are still essential.

Kerri's Foundation Dub is a tried and true instrumental version of the original. However, the lack of vocals only puts more focus on the uplifting, escalating and driving horn section.

On the flip Kerri and Jerome's pure DJ version 'Jerome's Runaway Dub' is fully equipped with juicy 909 hats and crackling snares while adding more emphasis to the bass line through extra notes and a grittier analog feel layered on top. An extended breakdown also creates an added element of suspense.

Two solid mixes for the DJ's that are after a piece of House history.

Kerri Chandler - Atmosphere (Jerome's Runaway Dub)

Jerome Sydenham and Rune RK first met about 13 years ago, when Jerome first played club Rust in Copenhagen. Rune was the club resident, and the two immediately connected over the decks. 
Even though their styles were very different, there was a mutual respect and understanding for the music. In November 2006 Jerome and Rune decided to go to the studio and see if these magnetic poles could be joined - and from nowhere magic happened. A new mutant of sounds and arrangements emerged. Not really house, not really techno, but dirty and soulful at the same time. Energetic, yet calm, these tracks are something new. They don't sound like, and they don't sound like.
So what do they sound like? Have a listen. You may or may not like them, but one thing is for sure - Everybody loves avocado
A: Elephant
When you hear this track, you'll know why its the elephant. The "Elephant" track is already being played by your favorite DJs, and chances are you've heard it already.It's the essence of and Rune in one. Jerome's classic beautiful arrangements, combined with Rune's insane beats. It stomps like an elephant, and builds forever. A perfect track for both house, and techno floors.And watch out for the break, it kicks in kinda late.

Another Ibadan Records improv session with alluring Brazilian flavour.
Jerome Sydenham, Joe Claussell (Body & Soul) and Kerri Chandler produced this cover version of Milton Nascimento’s Brazilian folk song, featuring the distinct vocal sample from the public domain version. Guitarist Stephen Ulrich’s interpretation of Brazilian guitar was simply improvised on-the-fly over the rhythms. It is his completely spontaneous approach to a well-known musical style that makes the record so unique, giving it an irresistible allure that made it the record of the night back in the days of powder and wooden dance floors.

Joe Claussell & Kerri Chandler - Escravos De Jo (Robust Horns)

Ibadan Records label head Jerome Sydenham teams up with Kerri Chandler and a host of musical talents on four takes of this Brazilian inspired track and exhibit their musical prowess.
One night at Betty Carter’s jazz show, Jerome Syndenham approached pianist Marc Cary to join in an improv studio session for Espirito du Tempo, inspired by the classic Brazilian folk song. Cary’s jam on the Fender Rhodes was sheer perfection, recorded in one breathtaking live take and gaining momentum, depth and euphoria all the way. Another night trawling the jazz clubs of New York, Sydenham and co-producer Kerri Chandler came across Randy Weston and Talib Kibwe and promptly put them to work on the sax version of the track. Kibwe pulls his part off with incredible virtuosity – listen for the single note he manages to sustain for an insanely long moment. Phenomenal performances for a classic record.

Jerome Sydenham, Kerri Chandler - Espirito Du Tempo (Talib's Dream)

Vera Mara’s vocals grace an astounding hybrid of Brazilian and Yoruba beats.

A tribute to Orixás, the gods of the Yoruba faith originating in Nigeria and the New World, a masterful piece house magic featuring Brazilian vocalist Vera Mara. As the legend goes, Mara basically walked into the studio, had a listen to the beats, took the mic and started ad libbing to the groove in what sounded like a hybrid of Portuguese and Yoruba, delivering with such sparkling élan that even when the phone rang during recording, the producers could not bear to kill the take. Brilliantly mixed on the fly by producers Jerome Sydenham and Kerri Chandler, the record breaks down towards the end in a frenzy of rhythm served up to the gods. Mesmerizing.

This deep moody single keyed track gets its roots from Mr Fingers 'Can You Feel It', while the Extended Version focuses on a turned up marching percussion with a Latin organic keyline and very MELTING POT bassline.

This is the first vinyl in Jerome Sydenham's 3 part 'Animal Social Club' vinyl series.

What you hear is not really the rainforest, or the wilderness. Don’t let your ears and eyes fool you. The primal edge, that instinct-driven music, raw and inviting, signals another meeting of the pack. And every time the wild ones get together, the quality of the sound is unmistakable. Breathe, dance, listen, drink your fill, take it all in: this is an environment where there are no inhibitions and spontaneity is everywhere, in everything. A place where house and techno are the heartbeat. This is the primal universe of the Animal Social Club.

Earth People - Dance (Kerri Chandler Centro Fly - Jerome Sydenham Special Edit)

Another smash hit - with some brilliant vocal acrobatics added by Vera Mara - grace this beautiful percussion-spiced and string-laden journey into deepness. 

Sydenham & Claussell, team up again for another excursion into organic House. Both letting the spirits of their ancestors from maternal and paternal sides channel through their consciousness to invigorate their productions with a true spiritual essence. A collaboration that results in the namesake, 'Je Ka Jo' - an obvious derivative of their names, - combined with the vocal talents of Vera Mara. 

A short movie with the title, "The Making Of ‘Je Ka Jo’ ", would have been quite easy to produce provided a camera was lurking about in the Axis Studios in NYC. 11 artists participated in this production, which would have made the studio busier than a New Jersey DMV. The, (Crazy Vocal Mix) features all of those artists involved with a final mix from Jerome and Joe that would have gone on long after the cameras stopped rolling. 

As the name would suggest, the (Drums of Passion Mix), sheds the vocals, strings, violin and bass guitar in favor of a full on jungle navigated percussion workout. Clearly a useful tool inspired by the rhythms of the original, through the organic drumming. 

Back to basics, is the motto with, ‘Je Ka Jo (Original Vocal Mix)’. Traditional percussion with less dramatization and a more conventional mixing techniques, with the vocal as the focus, while the instruments each fill their respective space in the back ground of the frequency range.

Je Ka Jo

Je Ka Jo feat. Vera Mara (Crazy Vocal Mix)

Joe Claussell - Je Ka Jo feat. Vera Mara (Crazy Vocal Mix)

Joe Claussell presents some of the finest examples of Spiritual House music infused with the performances of some of the most multi-cultural, talented and experienced musicians.

Joe Claussell delivers a critically acclaimed compilation that looks beyond national boundaries and draws from a global music community. Claussell and production partners Jerome Sydenham and Kerri Chandler, imbue their 4/4 electronic house beat with the melodic work of top world music and jazz musicians. Brazilian vocalist extraordinaire, Vera Mara, adds delicate phrasing to "Je Ka Jo"; Flutist, Jay Collins, delivers a poignant message with his bamboo flute on "Git Wa"; Nigerian producer Dele Sosimi and his Gbedu Resurrection band adds an Afrobeat slant to the record with "Gbedu 1"; Jazz pianist Marc Cary pens and produces "Marco Polo" (with a special Joe Claussell edit). "Language" elegantly represents the pinnacle in a growing acoustic dance music that moves from the club floor into the home.

Joe Claussell - Git Wa

 The dream team of Ferrer and Sydenham fabricate yet another seminal track.

Ferrer and Sydenham have been consistently knocking out superb stuff on Jerome’s Ibadan label for years. 'Sandcastles' keeps the streak going.

The original 'Sandcastles' - with its sublime piano line coming into its own late in the mix after a lengthy lead in of subtle percussion, throbbing bass drums and stellar synth play. A warm and lush track that utilizes building beats that emit a piano line and finally a wall of synth strings, round this track off perfectly.

Pressed up the same on both sides, as if he knew this one would get an extra amount of play. A confidence that can be traced back through the numerous amounts of seminal releases this man has had a watchful eye over.

If there was an essential Ibadan release – and an argument can be made for many of them in some form or another – this would certainly be high up on the list.

Throughout Ibadan Records’ deeply-rooted New York history and its ongoing transcendent surge into the future, there are certain special moments in House music history to acknowledge. This brings us to our 138th Ibadan Records installment by Kerri Chandler.

Kerri Chandler was one of the many artists who benefited from Jerome Sydenham’s artistic direction. The two initially met in 1991, when Sydenham was a part of the A&R team that signed Chandler’s debut single to Atlantic Records. After Sydenham founded Ibadan Records in 1995, the two collaborated on several groundbreaking projects that stand as a testament to House music history and to their long-lasting friendship.

Chandler’s early career evolved through illustrious House remixes and productions. Tracks like Drink On Me, Shoe-B-Doo, While We’re Young and Ain’t That a Bitch truly exemplify the trailblazing and original innovative spirit of Kerri Chandler and the birth of his signature sound.

IRC138 - Kerri Chandler - New York Chronicles Vol. II (12" EP) [Teaser]

Tracklist:
 01. You’re In My System (Dennis Quin Cub Mix feat. Troy Denari)
 02. You’re In My System (Dennis Quin Instrumental Club Mix)
 03. You’re In My System (Dennis Quin Vocal Mix feat. Troy Denari)
 04. You’re In My System (Dennis Quin Atmospheric Dubmix)

Ibadan announces the release of a new remix by Dennis Quin of Kerri Chandler & Jerome Sydenham ft. Troy Denari - You’re In My System on August 2, 2019.

Quin, a self-professed house addict and die-hard Kerri Chandler fan since the early nineties, had been searching for a new vocalist to work with. He turned to Simon Birkumshaw, label manager and A&R of Chandler’s Madhouse Records, who recommended Troy Denari, the new vocalist of the classic Ibadan track “You’re In My System”. When Denari revealed that had just resung the vocals, Quin was inspired to remix the track.

Quin’s aim with this remix was to update the track for his sets and give it contemporary production values in line with his current energetic sets. “It’s always tricky to put your hands on a huge record like this,” he says. “It’s a legendary track that everyone knows, so I was extremely careful in terms of mixing, timing, and all the rest.” The result is a modern version of the classic that is very true to the original. At the same time, Quin makes his mark by bringing his own drum and percussion into the mix.

The remix versions cover all the bases, including atmospheric dub, club and instrumental mixes, plus a special three-minute edit for Spotify.

Working together for the first time, the members of the musical team were excited to exchange their ideas. “Troy, Kerri, Jerome and I have gained so much out this intense collaboration. It has developed into a deep friendship that is all about house music, good vibes and pride in our achievements. Each of us is fulfilled by our individual roles in this project. I’m really proud to be part of this family.”

Christine Pedersen, managing director of Ibadan Records, is excited about Quin’s first release on the label. “It came highly recommended from Kerri and we have been following Dennis for some years. And it’s always a pleasure to welcome new and talented collaborators into the fold. And I love the new vocal. Troy’s singing brings a fresh spin to the track.”
