have a good day

'Dilla Impresses Me’ encapsulates Matt’s distinct approach to jazz and hip hop fusion. The track pays homage to Dilla’s unique off the grid groove which he discovered as a teenager after listening to Dilla on repeat. This was a catalyst for Matt’s obsession with jazz as he heard new perspectives, layers and textures in Dilla’s music which developed like characters in a story. This cyclical effect is revealed in Matt’s new track through the straightforward piano, hazy trombone, grounded bass and pocketed drums.

Dilla Impresses Me

Following support from the likes of Jamie Cullum (BBCR2), Jazz FM & more, Manchester keyboardist, composer and producer Matt Wilde steps up with his debut physical release, having spent much of his early years laying the foundations of his musical development through workshops at Band on the Wall.

A truly feel-good slice of musical goodness centred around Matt’s lyrical, virtuosic and jazz-leaning keys, ‘Every Story / Pivot’ delivers wondrous blends of hip-hop and jazz elements.

Both Every Story and Pivot depict a reflection. As put by Matt, “Everyone has their own story; they have something unique to share with the world which encapsulates the highs and lows of their individual lives, and that can resonate with other human beings. By taking the time to listen to every story from different perspectives, we can hear voices that are unheard and undervalued.”

On Pivot, Matt says, “Our lives pivot between different perspectives and moments that can change the direction we’re travelling in. Unexpected shifts of reality and emotion. Pivot depicts the contrast between moments of stillness and moments of energy”

‘Every Story / Pivot’ is the fourth release from Manchester institution Band on the Wall’s 7” vinyl series on their new label, created to support Manchester’s emerging artists.

Intergalactic Jazz fused with Hip-Hop. Think Nujabes and Pete Rock remix a Lonnie Liston Smith album arranged by David Axelrod. We realise that's far too much name-dropping for two sentences, but it describes the direct influences and vision of UK born producer Rob Waite aka Daylight Robbery. Rob grew up in London and Frankfurt before moving to Brooklyn, New York where ‘Moons of Jupiter’ – his first album for MPM – was recorded. "The sonic identity of the music is my homage to all the amazing Jazz fusion records that came out between ‘71 and ‘74, fused with a 90’s Hip-Hop vibe I struggle to get away from. With the help of some amazing musician friends, I was able to move beyond loop-based sampling techniques and take a step towards a more free flowing Jazz focused energy.” 

The album title ‘Moons of Jupiter’ refers to the 80 known moons of Jupiter that form a satellite system called the Jovian system. 12 of these moons are visited throughout the listening experience, starting in the light, and progressively moving into darkness. The artwork has been created by Cologne-based illustrator Giza One.

Fakery in the Bakery

Tremendous Aron - Fakery in the Bakery

Money Mantra, is a song and the keyboard melodies thought with great affection take us back to the 80s. The bass with drum beat brings that groove of Quincy Jones and Michael Jackson mixed with the jazz rap of Miles Davis and the soundtracks of films by Herbie Hancock.

Money Mantra is the art of doing splendid things and living for it.

Melbourne R&B slow jammers (and heart throbbers) Leisure Centre (FKA The Do Yo Thangs) are proud to release ‘Sucka’, the second cut taken from their long-awaited debut album, Mind Full. Sucka’s bouncy 90s synth-funk meets new jack era R&B sound is the perfect end to the 2018 Australian summer. 

Drummer, songwriter and producer Hugh Rabinovici says, “It’s about those super fun/exciting early stages of falling for someone - The kind of sitch where it’s out of your control and you’re just dumb in love”. Audrey Powne delivers a storming lead vocal supported by silky harmonies and a pumping rhythm section.

Out 20 July, the Mind Full album sits on a darker and more electronic plane to their previous EP, taking their staple of 808 kick drums and tight vocal harmonies into almost Little Dragon-esque territory. Mind Full is a tour of extremes, from the sparse minimalism of title track to the exuberant maximalism of ‘Sucka’. 

‘Sucka’ is out March 1st on all digital platforms (except here!) through HopeStreet Recordings, with album pre-sales open now! Expect more sweet lead vocals, more stacked harmonies, more live instrumentation, more electronica, more digital, more analogue, more bump, more grind and more vibe.
