After his debut track “Messicho” on White Gardenia Vol.1, Dutch producer, photographer and drummer Robert Repko  is ready to come back to release on Jazz-O-Tech with  an adventurous jazzy trip, combining both acoustic and electronic vibrations.
Future and past blend in a tribadelic mix of sexy, mystic and melancholic sounds, embedded in a transcendental feast of beats that characterize  this 4 tracker EP called “Trop Fonk”. 
Inspired by rhythmic based music, Duke Zilla was drawn to jazz, funk and african beats while playing as a drummer with different bands from an early age; by shifting to producing, he applied a more electronic feel as well as a luscious club element. 
His debut EP tells a cinematic like multi-layered story of space travelling in hypnotic soulful atmospheres. Always with a drum driven approach, providing the backdrop to imaginative underground sounds.
Jazz-o-Tech's is a new record label based between Berlin and Milan.
The label's signature style is an elegant combination of improvisation, acoustic “live” sounds and electronic music grooves mixed between jazz and techno music, promoting experimentation and eliminating  boundaries between two forms of avant-garde, electronic music and Jazz.

JOT004: Duke Zilla - Trop Fonk EP

Duke Zilla is Dutch DJ, photographer and drummer Robert Repko on an adventurous trip, combining both acoustic and electronic vibrations. 
Future and past blend in a tribadelic mix of sexy, mystic and melancholic sounds, embedded in a transcendental feast of beats. 

Inspired by rhythmic based music, Duke Zilla was drawn to jazz, funk and african beats while playing as a drummer with different bands from an early age. 

By shifting to producing, he applied a more electronic feel as well as a luscious club element. 

His coming debut EP tells a cinematic like multi-layered story of space travelling in hypnotic soulful atmospheres. Always with a drum driven approach, providing the backdrop to imaginative underground sounds.

Uwe war ein einzigartiger Typ. Er lebte in einer kleinen Wohnung im Herzen von Berlin und hatte zwei große Leidenschaften: 🥦und Techno. Jeder, der Uwe kannte, wusste, dass seine Wochenenden eine exzessive Mischung aus basslastigen Beats und dicken Rauchwolken waren.

Eines Samstags, nachdem er seinen Lieblings-Joint gedreht hatte, beschloss Uwe, dass es Zeit für ein neues Abenteuer war. Er hatte von einem geheimen Techno-Rave gehört, der tief im Wald stattfand. Der perfekte Ort, um seine beiden Leidenschaften zu kombinieren. Also schnappte er sich seine Bong, zog sein schrillstes Neon-Outfit an und machte sich auf den Weg.

Als Uwe im Wald ankam, fand er eine bunte Menge von Rave-Enthusiasten, die bereits zu den treibenden Rhythmen tanzten. Die DJs drehten die Platten, und die Lichtshow war so intensiv, dass es fast so aussah, als ob die Bäume selbst tanzen würden. Uwe war begeistert. Er setzte sich auf einen Baumstumpf, zündete seinen Joint an und inhalierte tief.

Plötzlich erschien ein kleines Eichhörnchen vor ihm. Uwe, der in diesem Moment von einer besonders intensiven Welle der Entspannung übermannt wurde, starrte das Eichhörnchen an und fragte: „Hey kleiner Freund, willst du auch mal probieren?“

Zur Überraschung aller nahm das Eichhörnchen den Joint mit seinen kleinen Pfoten und zog einen kräftigen Zug. Dann begann es, im Takt der Musik zu tanzen, als ob es schon immer ein Raver gewesen wäre. Die Menge jubelte, und das Eichhörnchen wurde schnell zum Star des Abends. Es war der beste Tänzer auf dem gesamten Rave!

Am nächsten Morgen wachte Uwe auf einer Waldlichtung auf, umgeben von leeren Wasserflaschen, leuchtenden Armbändern und schlafenden Rave-Besuchern. Das Eichhörnchen saß immer noch neben ihm und hielt den Rest des Joints. Uwe grinste breit und sagte: „Das war die beste Nacht meines Lebens.“

Von diesem Tag an hatte Uwe immer einen kleinen Vorrat an Haselnüssen dabei, wenn er zu Raves ging. Schließlich wollte er seinen neuen Freund nie enttäuschen. Und das Eichhörnchen? Es wurde zur Legende in der Berliner Techno-Szene, bekannt als DJ Nussknacker.

Und so lebte Uwe glücklich weiter, immer mit einem Lächeln auf den Lippen und einem Beat im Herzen, während er die perfekte Balance zwischen🥦 und Techno fand.Alle Mixe sind spontan, nie geplant.

London/Milan based DJ and producer. House, Tech-House, Progressive. Sevenbreads is resident DJ at Elektika Nights and Subbass in London, two of the most exciting parties in the city. He has recently released  tracks with BeatRude Records, and Elektika, London among which the succesful "Off da wall" and "Seventribes" with DJ Banga and "La Maggica" with Look@F. He regularly plays in several London's and international venues including Ministry of Sound, Queen of Hoxton, Fluid Bar, Funky Buddha, Most Cafe,The Basing House and Scudo Beach and Sun Club in Corsica. Sevenbreads starts his musical career as a drummer on the Italian jazz scene where he performs his professional gig at the age of 17 playing with jazz legends such has Jimmy Cobb, Tommy Campbell, and Roberto Gatto. He then set up his own band playing soul, funk and disco. At that time he started experimenting in electronic music by using one of the first Roland MC100 sequencers and composed his first dance tracks. His background as a drummer still strongly influences his current electronic production. His music and DJ sets are all about an original fusion of influences of different genre (soul, latin, world music) all kept together by inspired melodies, deep energy and original house and tech grooves. His sounds are a very personal blend of futuristic noises, retro flavours and dirty mixes which make his music deep, warm and passionate...definitely not minimal!!

My bio (to copy) written by me in the third person :-)
"Jörg S. born in Cologne, from youth on, is fascinated by all kinds of art, so he taught himself the saxophone very early. Nowadays flutes of all kind are also part of the equipment, as are jaw harps, percussion, bass, guitars and keyboards.
He was and is always involved in many band projects and session events.
In the 80s he was a saxophonist in the Adam Noidlt Intermission Orchestra with gigs in Berlin, Cologne, Düsseldorf and Basel. Very early on he also worked as a writer with live readings in the Cologne area and was a painter with large formats for many years, all in addition to his job as a graphic designer. Now, retired, he is devoted solely to music: home recording with the platform of choice, Soundcloud and global collaborations."

At Jazz-o-Tech we do Techno-Jazz.
The project is born in order to merge tradition with modernity, improvisation and experimentation, and to create a new genre: techno-jazz. Finally the elegant arrangements and intricate jazz solos can develop along the modern structures of Techno and Electronica, taking the listeners on an emotional, hypnotic and intense journey. The future is here.

Black music in all it's beautiful forms. Natural mind-music, warming the heart with positive vibrations.
