Atlanta based producer Matt Mansfield aka Piper Street Sound has created a collaborative EP of instrumental Reggae music with legendary Reggae guitarist Andy Bassford (Toots and the Maytals, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, Culture, Roots Radics). 'Black Eyed Peace' follows 2020’s 'Small Plate / Rid Them EP' but puts a focus on guitar melodies masterfully executed by Maestro Bassford. The songs still bear Piper Street’s customary horn heavy and dub infused style but move into some new territory; elements of Rocksteady abound, major keys now bounce along side their minor key brethren, Yaya Brown’s akete drumming prods and propels the rhythms carved by the ultra tight drumming of Brian Daggett and the bass of Mansfield, Chris Case’s keyboard mastery blazes along side the horns of Will Scruggs, Jonathan Lloyd and Dashill Smith. 

'Black Eyed Peace' is a collaborative affair pieced together gradually over the course of the pandemic, the horn sessions miraculously took place the week before everything shut down, and all other elements were recorded in home studios and electronically gathered by Matt, who acted as track-herd and trail guide, scouting ahead, blazing a path while shooting fearful glances behind at the specter of disease and death that shadowed the procession through the forest of fear.

Piper Street Sound found a sacred glade, a clearing in the forest with room for hope, and got to work building a fire with his fellows, over which to craft this musical brew, heavily dosed with dubwise analog effects, shimmering and splashing spring reverbs, rich and hearty tape delays, the guitar mastery of a musical hero floats atop as frothy foam, and love for humanity is the base malt. Here it is. Won’t you take a sip?

This episode comes to you by way of Jukka Sarapää founder & Co. owner of Timmion Records Ltd.

When Jukka is not touring the world playing drums with Bobby Oroza and Cold Diamond & Mink, he can be found recording sweet soul, raw funk or cutting master lacquers for the next 12" or 7" of your favorite jazz/pop/house/metal etc. artist at Timmion Records Studios inside the subterranean caves of Kaapelitehdas, Helsinki, Finland

When playing records, his selections tend to take the obscure route, leaning on moody mid-tempo soul and ballads. Nevertheless, he's sure to also have your favorite organist and Stevie Wonder records back home neatly filed up.

BCR Radio Episode 021 - Jukka Sarapää - Sleepless Nights

Pour le 1er novembre, on voulait une carte blanche spéciale, parce qu’on aime bien marquer le coup de des jours fériés. Et puis parce que, mine de rien, la fête des Morts, c’est important en musique, ça fait énormément de gens à se souvenir. Alors, on a pensé à quelqu’un qui synthétisait à sa manière tous les sons d’aujourd’hui, d’hier et de demain qui passaient sur Le Grigri. Car le pseudonyme de ce quelqu’un veut dire beaucoup: en choisissant de se cacher derrière l’alias https://soundcloud.com/free-the-robots, Chris Alfaro voulait montrer que les machines avaient elle aussi beaucoup à dire question liberté. Il faut dire que le garçon a été l’un des membres-clés des fameuses soirées Low End Theory à Los Angeles qui ont participé à brouiller les pistes entre électro, jazz, beatmaking et hip-hop. Tel Flying Lotus, Mndsgn ou Knxwledge, ce Californien expérimente à gogo et à foison aux côtés de Lefto ou d’Opio de Souls of Mischief. Prévu pour le 7 novembre, son prochain album divague sur les rythmes tribaux avec classe et nourrit déjà les ondes du Grigri. Bref un type à suivre de très près qu’on est heureux d’accueillir dans la grande famille des Cartes Blanches.

Tracklist
Siah and Yeshua - The Mystery
