Mix of the Week: Hotthobo - Night Cream

Stefano De Santis – Jazztronica Radio Show May 4th, 2023

For his third full-length release, Matt Emonson AKA Mat/Matix has remixed and mastered a tape of his 2013-2016 creations dubbed ‘850,’ an ode to his 1997 Volvo station wagon. Moved by Larry Heard’s Sceneries Not Songs Vol. 1-2, Emonson has painted his own aural landscape including batches of uptempo synth funk, street soul, g-funk, and jazzy house. Toiled over for many years, this instrumental album is the sound of a young producer discovering their unique darkened west-coast sound. In ’Mountain Mist,’ a wall of drum breaks and synths give way to a soulful guitar solo. ‘Loons’ takes a swing groove through dusty layers of classic 12 bit samples. ‘Robertson’s Jam’ is a dance floor workout of digital synth textures reminiscent of a midnight drive through the city. 850 is a nostalgic 40-minute journey to bump in the car, feel on a pair of headphones, or jam at a house party. Choose your own path.

Somewhere In Malibu (Snippet) | OUT NOW

Named in direct reference to arguably one of the greatest albums ever created, "Giant Steps" by John Coltrane, "Giant Stops" pays homage to the rich legacy of jazz while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a contemporary twist. The album seamlessly blends jazz, hip-hop, and electronic elements to create a unique sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and modern.

For Minus & MRDolly, "Giant Stops" represents a new chapter in his evolution as a musician, showcasing his growth and commitment to pushing boundaries in his genre-bending style. Taking inspiration from the creative process of Makaya McCraven, the album features dynamic instrumentals backed by a live band, with Minus & MRDolly's signature lyricism and storytelling shining through both the instrumentals and the lended work of guest musician such as Meta_ or Luca Argel. By using this production method the album takes a bold stand for the importance of sampling as an art form hoping to encourage listeners to appreciate the rich history and evolution of hip hop and to recognize the essential role that sampling has played in shaping the genre.

As a nod to his Portuguese roots, "Giant Stops" represents a deeper exploration of the artist's identity and a commitment to looking inward to find creative inspiration. With this album, Minus & MRDolly hopes to inspire others to embrace their own unique perspectives and use them to create art that connects with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

In a world where technology threatens to replace human creativity, "Giant Stops" is a reminder that the power of art to connect with people on a fundamental level is enduring and will continue to shape our world for generations to come.

Giant Stops

Exclusive Premiere: Minus & MRDolly "Home Again" (forthcoming Giant Stops LP)

“Enjoy Foat's rhythmic mastery, jazz-infused mood, and cosmic synths, accompanied by Finland's finest, including the legendary saxophonist Eero Koivistoinen.”

Greg Foat travels to Finland, teaming up once again with the Jazzaggression label to unveil "Feathers." Building on the success of "Gone to the Cats," the collaborative trio date with Aleksi Heinola and Teemu Åkerblom, "Feathers" follows a similar formula while expanding its musical horizons. "Feathers" introduces an even larger cast of Finnish musicians, including the notable inclusion of Finnish saxophone legend Eero Koivistoinen on tenor sax and the talented Ilmari Heikinheimo on percussion. Recorded over a stormy long weekend in mid-October 2022 at Jazzaggression's in-house Studio Pelto, the album strikes a balance between precomposed tracks and spontaneously created pieces.

Devotees of Greg's earlier releases are in for a treat, as "Feathers" skillfully merges his signature atmospheric touch with an expanded synthesis of sounds. Imagine the legendary Eero Koivistoinen infusing his prowess into the monumental jam "Riding the Breeze," while tracks like "Feathers" and the contemplative "A Prayer for Love" showcase a downtempo elegance that lingers in the air.

Yet, "Feathers" doesn't stop there—it delivers captivating jazz classics as well. Experience "The Sandpiper," a bluesy minor jam reminiscent of the golden era of CTI Albums, or delve into the engaging rhythms of "Inconsequential Narrative" and the thematic intrigue of "As the Crow Flies." A particularly enchanting aura envelops "When All Is Said and Done." Its ephemeral minimalistic essence captures a spontaneous late-night allure, compelling the engineer to "Keep the tape rolling..."—the kind of magic that can only be conjured in the moment.

With "Feathers," Greg Foat brings his animalistic trilogy of albums on Jazzaggression to a triumphant close, possibly delivering his most exceptional recording yet.

Album comes limited to 1000 copies, sealed with hype sticker and hold a coloured insert with photos documenting the recording, with info and digital download of album.

90 minutes of heaviness featuring the boogie beats of Buscrates, John Carroll Kirby’s latest single on Stones Throw featuring Eddie Chacon, Moodymann’s remix of the Sun Palace’s classic “Rude Movements”, Jordan Rakei with the return of his alter ego Dan Kye forthcoming on Rhythm Section International. a couple of tracks from the latest Potatohead People album, Daniel Maunick with a jazz house banger, Soul Supreme with a great rendition of Tony Palkovic’s “Born with a Desire”, a little tribute to the late great Ira Sullivan and as always much, much more inside the mix…

Hope you enjoy it!
