The official debut duo project from rapper Milc and producer Andy Savoie.

'Windbreaker' out now: smarturl.it/milcandywindbreaker

One of Portland’s most brazenly true-to-life lyricists teams up with the multi-talented Portland-raised, Seattle-based producer/musician – both dead-set on the explicit mission of creating a Pacific NW classic. Joining the cause are Portland’s own Soop Dread & Farnell Newton, with Seattle’s Greg Cypher, La, Chima The Stubborn, C'est La and Elan Wright, plus the Big Homie of the group – West Coast all-star, L.A. representative, Blu.

Raps by Milc
Produced by Andy Savoie
Additional Production by Elan Wright

Recorded & Mixed by Elan Wright at Ruby Room Recordings – Seattle, WA
Mastered by Patrick Brown at Different Fur Studios

Windbreaker

Milc & Andy Savoie "Turn Pike"

Part of IF Music founder Jean-Claude’s ever expanding ‘YOU NEED THIS!’ series of compilation albums, the London record shop impresario and DJ takes us on another scintillating musical journey, this time exploring the catalogue of German jazz imprint, Enja Records.

Like Jean-Claude’s ‘Journey Into Deep Jazz’ series on BBE Music and his 2017 exploration of Black Saint & Soul Note Records before it, ‘IF MUSIC PRESENTS YOU NEED THIS!: AN INTRODUCTION TO ENJA RECORDS’ provides another impeccably curated and programmed selection of music, assembled by simply one of the most knowledgable and passionate vinyl specialists in the business.

Featuring performances by John Stubblefield, Bobby Hutcherson, Harold Land, Don Cherry, Cecil McBee and Pharoah Sanders collaborator Marvin Hannibal Peterson to name but a few, this collection provides a great jumping-off point for Enja’s rich and diverse back
catalogue. Founded in 1971 by Munich natives and jazz obsessives Matthias Winckelmann and Horst Weber, in its heyday Enja released albums by Eric Dolphy, Charles Mingus, Tommy Flanagan and John Scofield, as well as Kenny Barron, Chet Baker, Abbey Lincoln, Bea
Benjamin, Freddie Hubbard, to name but a few.

Having firmly established itself as “a bastion of all things deep in jazz” as Jean-Claude neatly sums up, Enja also went on to issue early World Music projects from Abdullah Ibrahim, Rabih Abou-Khalil, Mahmoud Turkmani and many others, and it remains active to this day.

“There is no doubt that to the uninitiated, a compilation introducing such an esteemed archive is well overdue” says Jean-Claude. “As with previous albums curated by us, this is just a soupçon of this label’s vast back catalogue, which we hope will lead the listener to discover new music and to search out more from this criminally underrated, class act.”

Interstellar Black Space

Runnin

Interstellar Space

We Change (Part II) [feat. Keyon Harrold, Ben Williams & Marcus Gilmore]

Singles from Libretto & Vitamin D's collaborative album, Rusty Bladez.A king has arose from confinement....."

Libretto returns for his sixth full length album entitled Rusty Bladez, and is accompanied by Seattle legend Vitamin D handling all production duties, plus a few standout verses of his own.

As evidenced by his inmate ID on the cover, Libretto's meditations on his time spent in the Federal Penitentiary system run throughout the entirety of Rusty Bladez. Libretto recounts in vivid detail the experiences and lifestyle that led him there, and his experiences and mind state once released. Rarely has an album so clearly captured a mood, and provided the type of first person insight that is captured on Rusty Bladez.

Vitamin D's production mastery provides the perfect backdrop for Libretto to recount his true life tales. Finding the perfect balance between the album's somber tone and an undeniable groove, Vitamin D crafts beats that are at home in the world of underground rap, but clearly stand out as a result of their layered musicality. Showcasing his versatile skills across all 17 tracks, Vitamin D once again demonstrates why he is your favorite producer's favorite producer, as well as a force of his own on the mic.

Helping round out the complete picture, Libretto & Vitamin D are joined on the album by top notch lyricists and vocalists including Roc Marciano, Guilty Simpson, Gift of Gab [R.I.P], Planet Asia, Keisha Plum, Jumbo (Lifesavas), Toni Hill, Syndel, and more! But beyond just dropping great guest verses, the features work alongside Libretto and Vitamin D to truly enhance the larger vision and story being told.

Rusty Bladez is the product of two West Coast veterans, made in true collaborative fashion, with their talents and expertise on full display. The album is cinematic, and a complete, fully realized vision with infinite amounts of replay value.

New Past - W.D.Y.

Tony Minvielle on Jazz FM : Sun 25th Sept 2022 - The Daughters of Charles Stepney

cqqlrecords.bandcamp.com/album/leonar…arles-heaven

The “Heaven” EP features producer-extraordinaire Leonard Charles at the helm, collaborating with prodigious artists from New Zealand (his home country) and the USA, to create a wildly eclectic E.P. project with the common underlying thread of basement funk knitting it together. This presentation of funk is truly a legitimate foundation for the heads that need it: built upon solid soul/jazz chord progressions and played on original musical equipment/gear from the 80’s and 90’s. The record features an exclusive remix of the song “Nine Lives” that he co-wrote with boogie/funk legend Leroy Burgess, and additionally features stellar collaborations with Guilty Simpson, Zyah Belle, Reality Jonez and A.C. Freazy.
