IMYRMIND debuts on Tartelet with a four-tracker ranging from banging MPC techno to contagious Latin house and laidback jazzy wonk.

After finishing a degree in architecture and relocating to Berlin earlier this year, IMYRMIND stepped up his game with the release of his solo debut on Astro & Graef’s Money $ex imprint. This November will see the release of the beat-smiths second solo venture on Tartelet Records.

The opening track ‘Tong Po’ is IMYRMIND’s take on techno, inspired by the villain from Jean Claude Van Damme’s 1989 cult classic Kickboxer. A heavy pitched kick drum, fuzzy melodies with generous use of tape delay and a badass bass line dropping around the three-minute mark makes this a peak time candidate.
‘Wanja 9000’ slows down the pace. Dusty Jazz samples and wonky beats with sloppy turntable cuts add a nice live feel to the track. 

On the b-side ‘Upturn’ sets the mood with classic salsa percussion infused with an epic brass and piano hook that could very well stem from the infamous Palmieri brothers or one of their contemporaries. Embrace your inner Latino and follow your hips.
The last track of the record ‘Number Seven’ completes the circle with venturous drum programming, layered melodies and plenty of “early morning ambiance”. 

IMYRMIND is scheduled for a three-week Australia, NZ and Asia tour in November alongside long-time collaborator Glenn Astro.

Culture Cultivators #23 Kid Yumi キッドテオ Interview + Cosmo Arts & The Night Owl

Blameful Isles makes its return with "This Heart Of Our Heart" a spiritual journey of self discovery. The story of this beautiful album comes from the heart and talks directly to the heart. Open your chakras through meditation and music. Elevate your mind and discover so much more about your own self than you could have imagined possible. Don't limit yourself in any way, shape or form and absorb this experience directly, without superimposition. Your mind, soul and heart can form together an infinite number of possibilities. This album is focused specially on the heart, the chakra from which comes compassion, love and integration. We believe this world always needs more of that.

dego ‘Too Much…’

After a steady stream of releases from the 2000 Black label which serve as a first course, Dego returns with his third album ; A full length LP of his contemporary adventures in modern sound. This album combines Dego’s consistent forward looking musical explorations with a host of instrumental and vocal collaborators introducing us to new talents and reminding us of those we may have heard before. Dego continues to find new perspectives within the musical landscape.

Collaborating with singers and songwriters all expressing a distinct sense of where, collectively, we are now. There can be no doubt that this is a time of questions in every way, changes in the world and industry that will affect us all. How and what role music plays in this journey is explored as with any artist in a personal and pensive way from a tear to a smile. There is no preaching here, only statements and explorations. Individuality and sonic diversity combine and reflect the many inspirations and evolutions of style. Cooking up a strong and distinct genre-defying mix of soul, two step, funk, jazz, boogie and R&B, all dance music’s that focus on heritage and natural rhythms.

Listening to the music is a relief and delight for lovers of groove and song-craft. It's a 21st century statement accessible and raw, whilst highly advanced in sound design and production. Holistic in breadth and deep in vision, it provides a way into this music for many, and challenges the cultural conversation about jazz without compromising or pandering. Music that utilizes a raw and sincere true openness narrative.

Release date September 6th 2019 on 2000BLACK

*** ’THE SECOND BEST TIME IS NOW’—EXCLUSIVE 2019 CHARITY COMPILATION*** PLEASE DONATE -> https://tarteletrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-second-best-time-is-now

Tartelet Records is proud to present its 2019 compilation ‘The Second Best Time is Now’, featuring nine unreleased tracks from its pool of esteemed artists. This year, all proceeds will be donated to the Natural Resources Defense Counsel, one of the world’s most effective environmental action organizations. 

Ho ho ho—Tartelet Records has once again reached into its secret stash of tricks and dug out some incredible gems. Following 2016’s compilation success with all proceeds sent to Syria’s White Helmets, the 2019 Christmas release has attracted an even broader spectrum of sound from nine of the label’s most honorable artists.  

Featuring Tartelet Records’ signature eclectic mix of genres, Christmas is saved with unreleased works by Wayne Snow and digitalluc, jitwam, Space Ghost, Glenn Astro, Kasper Marott, Verner, N.O.T.E, and label head Dirk 81. Each track has been handpicked by the artist themselves to represent their unique style in support of a bold charitable cause.  

This year, the Natural Resources Defense Counsel (NRDC) has been selected as the recipient of all proceeds. As one of the world’s most prominent environmental protection organizations, it strives to protect nature in ways that advance the long-term welfare of present and future generations. Tartelet Records is proud to support this important mission with its exclusive end-of-year release. 

Tartelet Records’ 2019 Christmas compilation can be downloaded for free but listeners are encouraged to donate what they feel is appropriate. All donations go towards the Natural Resources Defense Counsel to support our planet’s most pressing problems. To find out more visit www.nrdc.org. 

The compilation will be available on Bandcamp December 2nd and all digital and streaming services from December 15th.

Special thanks to digitalluc, Glenn Astro, jitwam, Kasper Marott, Nelson of the East (N.O.T.E), Space Ghost, Verner, and Wayne Snow for donating their musical works, to The Emperor of Antarctica for the artwork, and Walter Coelho for mastering all tracks free of charge.

The Second Best Time is Now

jitwam - Gurlnobodydo

Went into the crates to pull a few selections from the great jazz label Muse. Tried to stay away from some of the sample-favorites (no Walt Barr or Catalyst this time around). Instead, it's a journey into the a variety of styles and flavors, some creative and beautiful music made by a wide range of musicians in the 70s and early 80s. There's definitely another stack of records I wasn't able to include this round, so maybe a part two will be in the works for the future.

Tracklist: Dom Um Romao, Pat Martino, Cedar Walton, Joe Chambers, Mark Murphy, Deodato and Joao Donato, Eric Kloss
