Meet Chloe Martini, super young female music producer based out of Warsaw. Chloe's sound definitely caught our attention about a year ago, with a style that displayed her classical background with a touch of electronic music. We immediately reached out and asked her to work with us on some capacity. At the time she humbly declined, stating that she simply wasn't ready to put together anything official. Since then, she has crafted her production skills, released smashing remixes and collaborated on tracks with other great producers/artists.

Potatohead People single "Explosives" (feat. Illa J & Moka Only) b/w "Blue Charms", taken from the full length album Big Luxury. "Blue Charms" also available on 7" vinyl: https://potatoheadpeople.bandcamp.com/album/luv-ya-blue-charms-7

Working on opposite sides of the landmass we call Canada, Vancouver/Montreal duo Potatohead People (producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical) have been making waves for quite some time with their signature jazzy boom-bap meets boogie inside the bassbin vibes. Called a “formidable tandem” by OkayPlayer, their sounds have been championed early on by the likes of Kaytranada, Soulection, Nightmares on Wax, Pomo, Exmag, Big Boi, and Phife Dawg. After a few early releases on Vancouver based netlabel Jellyfish Recordings, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz reissued their 2012 landmark Kosmichemusik EP and pressed a 7” which quickly became a collector’s item. The association landed their song “Back To My Sh*t” (featuring Frank Nitty of Frank’n’Dank) on a Powerade produced LeBron James documentary and Nick and Astro began working on a debut LP for Bastard Jazz, presented here.

Big Luxury draws from influences disparate as classic jazz, prog rock, disco, 90’s hip-hop, DJ Shadow-Era downtempo beats, alongside modern influences like the Brainfeeder crew and new electronic movements coming out of Nick Wisdom’s adopted hometown of Montreal.  What’s resulted is a finely honed, extra buttery album that effortly glides between tempos, but never loses the mood.  The album also features a whole host of guest vocalists -  J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J, legendary Canadian MC Moka Only, New Zealand’s Sorceress, and Amalia all provide contributions to the sounds within.  The album will set the tone for the duo’s big moves this year, including forthcoming collaborations with Illa J and Pomo as well as tour dates in North America and beyond. 

Big Luxury is a velvety ride through vibes and a magnificent debut for these talented young Canadians.

When I began making music, thought I loved the 808’s and electronic synths, I always wanted a little more fulfillment. Through a combination of a very tough year and frustration, I eventually stopped making music completely; until I found myself in a park one day listening to Jazz musicians. 

For the first time in a while, I fell in love with the freedom of music. Making what the heart wanted to hear and feel rather than what I believe fit the mainstream Soundcloud persona. As a result, I deleted most of my synths and made a deal with myself to stay true to what I deemed fit for my emotional story. 

“This, Always” is a tribute to music and love. It is a promise that I will do my best to continue tugging onto my heart stings to feel what needs to be felt rather than holding back; to let the heart lead me on unexpected journeys of memorable passion and beyond.

I hope you will follow my journey of discovery, and hope you will be inspired just as I was in that park.

Woody Latuheru a.k.a KA-YU (DTW/AIM) is a young producer, percussionist and dj from a little village in Holland called Oosterwolde. His roots lay in Holland and Kilang, a village in Ambon, one of the Islands of Maluku. His love for music and beatmaking goes very deep and the music he makes comes right from his heart and soul.

In his later years, he began listening to Hip Hop and R&B which shaped his sounds. At the age of 14, he started making sample based beats and taught himself the fundamentals, sampling jazz, soul, funk & r&b.

In 2014 he really started to focus on making good quality music and released the song ''Forbidden Fruit''. This was a eyeopener to him to push his music career to a next level.
Currently he is working hard on his beats and is also focussing on being a percussionist.

KA-YU's inspirations to make music comes from God, his family, the Art In Melodies collective and his ancestors. but his biggest source of inspiration will always be his father who taught him how to play rhythms on several percussion instruments.

Be on the lookout as he's currently working on a EP, ''Yung Kayubesi'' due out later on this year.

With the worldwide success of our Soulection Compilation Volume One which featured some of the most promising producers of our generation two years ago in January 2011, it was essential to create volume two. It's amazing to reflect on our progression and how far we've come. Here we are 27 releases later with our first official record! It has almost been a year since we started to compile this project. Since day one we've known that we would get to this very point.

The Time in Between captures genre-bending compositions from creative an entire year, this compilation delivers a timeless journey through future bass, boom bap, glitchy uptempo soulful melodies and then some. Soulection releases the Time in Between putting a time stamp on the unique musical epoch that is 2013. By serving up genre-vague and undefinable sounds to the people first, the label maintains and reinforces the relevance and need for this timeless sound.

These specific artists are all Soulection affiliated and we feel that every track on here has a "timeless' feel to it. In fact, we feel that this record is one that you can play years and years down the line and still get that original feeling of when you first heard it. There tracks have no expiration date; styles that have no flow. This record was created and compiled to change your perspective on music and the future of where we are headed.

Press Reviews:

“The Time In Between album sets out to showcase the abundant talents and efforts of the Soulection label young guns - this album undoubtedly showcases maestro [Joe] Kay’s ability to pick up on similarities in sound and presence seeking that soulful genre which is so welcomed in today’s micro studio music.” -Jay Scarlett (Ampsoul/Beat Dimensions)

“Mind blowing compilation from one of my most favorite labels out there. One of the few where you can’t find a single boring song, just straight timeless masterpieces. Big Up!” -Paul Pre (Vast)

“Time In Between is a perfect example why Soulection is the sound of the future!” -Sean Osborn/DJ SEANO (Sound Waves Radio, KPFK)

“Time in Between strips away the need for genres and buzzwords and simply brings a special feeling throughout the whole release, something you’ve now come to expect from every Soulection release and radio show.” -Tim Parker (You’ll Soon Know/NTS Radio)

“Produced by Manchester’s Sivey, “Cause & Effect” is synth-riddled, with rolling drums, and a chopped and screwed jazzy vocal to give it that futuristic edge. If this is what the rest of the [Time In Between] compilation is going to sound like, bring it on!” -Joseph Patterson (MTV IGGY)

“Soulection’s selections are those which clearly need no corrections.” -Moses Wiener (Live For The Funk)
