Second single from jazz-maestro Gianni Brezzo upcoming LP "Tutto Passa" is "Capture This" - a warm splash of pure, groovy, jazz-funk. 

Instantly catchy, the track will have you imagining yourself in a movie that perfectly captures the musical themes: playful flutes, crisp, fluid guitar riffs, heat-pulling strings and brass movements, all held together by a strong, swingin' drum groove.

"Tutto Passa" is an album with a variety of moods, ranging from Arthur Verocai & Piero Umiliani inspired arrangements to lush, thematic jazz progressions with a percussive edge akin to works by David Axelrod, Stelvio Cipriani and Sven Wunder. It's a timeless release, one that sits just as well in 1972 as it does in 2022.

Marvin Horsch, the creative powerhouse behind the Cologne-based jazz project, remarks that the LP:

"...reflects exactly the feeling I had last year when I was in Italy with my own family. As a musician, I was looking for the challenge of a more orchestral approach on this album, which I hoped to achieve with my arsenal from the Cologne jazz scene and support of musicians from around the world."

Marvin was kind enough to provide a choice selection of his favorite songs that inspired and influenced the creation of "Tutto Passa" - from Italian greats like Piero Piccioni and Lucio Battisti to the Brazilian moods of João Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim to more modern releases from El Michels Affair, Hiatus Kaiyote and Surprise Chef - stream it here: https://giannibrezzo.lnk.to/PlaylistTakeover

Gianni Brezzo - Capture This

Out 8 November 2024.

Experimental producer, composer and vocalist Leifur James announces the release of his third album ‘Magic Seeds’ via Night Time Stories on 8th November. ‘Magic Seeds’ is a rebirth of sorts, and his most collaborative and personal offering yet. 
 
Over the past few years, James has steadily built a reputation as a vital new voice in electronic music on both sides of the Atlantic. He’s played prestigious London venues with European tours to match, including notable nights at Village Underground and the Barbican, gaining support along the way from the likes of Pitchfork, KCRW, BBC 6Music, NTS, Gilles Peterson, Mary Anne Hobbs, Bradley Zero and actor Cillian Murphy. 

His 2018 debut album ‘A Louder Silence‘ defied convention, deftly blending IDM and minimalist avant-garde influences with Nina Simone-inspired vocals and capturing heady nights at London’s long-lost and beloved club Plastic People. A remix EP followed, featuring respected leftfielders including Bruce, FaltyDL and Coby Sey, yet James refused to stay in one lane. ‘Wurlitzer’s’ ominous crescendo of neo-classical piano and sub-bass won acclaim at film festivals thanks to its visual by Hungarian director Balázs Simon, and then came his second, more challenging electronic full-length. 2020’s ‘Angel in Disguise’ garnered attention from the dance music world, earning praise from Mixmag, CRACK and DJ Mag, and culminating in a full performance on Boiler Room.
 
For now, ‘Magic Seeds’ illuminates James as one of those rare composers who is capable of taking listeners to great highs and plunging them into inky depths; moody and moving music that feels equally airy, as if it was composed outside under the moon – which, he jokes, is exactly where he hopes people will listen to it. And though there are tracks that are more songs than soundscapes, he eschews formulas for musical freedom. It’s an ambitious record that could work both in open spaces and in dank clubs – as long as there is a smoke machine, of course. But more than anything, it feels as if it’s living and breathing; a sonic collage of James’s past few years whirled into one.

Leifur James - Euphoria

Seduction in the Breeze

“Coastal Drive” is a sonic journey along the French Riviera — from sunrise in Nice to sunset in Saint-Tropez. Each track captures a moment of freedom, wind, and sun-drenched serenity. Smooth saxophone lines, gentle Rhodes piano, deep bass grooves, and airy synths create the perfect soundtrack for endless summer drives.

It’s music for golden hours, ocean reflections, and quiet thoughts behind the wheel.
A blend of elegance, calm, and effortless motion.

Mood: relaxed, cinematic, romantic, free, coastal.
Perfect for road trips, sunsets, seaside dinners, or late-night reflections.
