Steve Spacek - Get on down

It’s been a steady process of growth and a long time coming to arrive at this sophomore full-length for the man known in his native Steel City and beyond as producer/keyboardist/DJ Buscrates, and every minute of it can be heard and felt on these ten funky and highly evocative tracks.

The finely-honed balancing act between vintage-80s-synth goodness and neck-snapping 90s boom bap, all coated with just the right amount of soulful melodic sensibility never falters at any point on the album. For a more specific comparison, think Manzel's Midnight Theme LP updated for these strange times we're in seems to fit the bill, especially on tracks like "Prisms," "Floating In The Wind" and "Early Morning." This is the funky instrumental mood music you desperately need right now whether you realize it or not, and Buscrates is here to serve it up. "Buckin'" is prominent among the many highlights of the Pittsburgh producer’s album, strongly evoking the likes of Paul Hardcastle, Atmosfear and the Art Of Noise while simultaneously paying homage to the funk/R&B roots of Detroit techno pioneers like Juan Atkins and Derrick May. The album's sonic journey culminates in "On My Way," the only vocal track on the album and which features Soraya Watti's lovely vocals. One can easily imagine this track on the playlist of NY's WBLS in the early 80s. Soraya's smooth and soulful tones prove to be the perfect addition and act as a kind of sexy ghost in the Buscrates machine. The album as a whole feels like nothing so much as an updated, postmodern version of the kinds of sleek, funky grooves oozing through your Cadillac's 8-track deck circa 1972. 

It's music that's "smooth" in all the best possible connotations of the term: music that's smooth on the streets and also smooth between the sheets. It's sleek, sexy and very, very funky, which will come as no surprise to Bus' 12,000 Twitch followers accumulated over the course of his weekly Friday stream. Notable fans and supporters of his include Jazzy Jeff, Francois K, Dâm Funk, Rich Medina, and Spinna. Even more believers in his funky gospel have come as a result of his increasing road gigs in cities like Berlin, NYC, Detroit and Washington DC.

This new album is both a culmination and the beginning of a glorious new phase. Buscrates' time is right now.

"High Output is an inside joke we have from a trip to Manila with our good friends from Do-Over Jamie and Chris.  The project itself is a collaboration between two friends from different horizons but with a same vision.  We’ve been playing together in many different cities around the world and we have a lot of friends in common all over the planet, it was just a matter of time before we’d put out something together, just because we thought it would be fun to do.  Our mix contains unexpected music, rare grooves and unreleased material…and we hope you’ll appreciate the effort and the music we put into this mix.  If you own the 7” as well, you have two previously unreleased productions in your hands and I really hope you got the shirt as well, if not, you’ve been ripped off, haha!" - LEFTO

LEFTO
As one the most important tastemakers Europe has to offer, and af- filiated with labels Brownswood, Blue Note, !K7 Records, Stones Throw and Jazzy Sport, this bearded early riser is consistently a couple steps ahead of your average early adopter. He doesn’t wait for the next thing to land on his lap, actively seeking it out - just take a peek at his playl- ists on Belgium’s foremost national radio station Studio Brussel which received compliments from Rough Trade Shops and Gilles Peterson.

JROCC
One of the original turntablists, J. Rocc founded the Beat Junkies in 1992 with Melo-D and Rhettmatic, but has done just as much on his own as in a group setting. He began DJing in the mid-’80s with a California group named PSK. Soon after forming, the Beat Junkies became a seminal force in the rise of instrumental hip-hop, including core member Babu plus future stars Shortkut and D-Styles. In addition to numerous mix- tapes and his own production for Stones Throw releases, J. Rocc has been the DJ for Madlib’s live shows since the early 2000’s, was the 3rd member of Jaylib (Madlib & J Dilla) during the group’s live events, and collaborated with Madlib on Beat Konducta Vol. 5-6: A Tribute to J Dilla.
