So, 2014 is nearly done and once again, the releases came at such a rate  that we’ve barely had time to draw breath, let alone sit back and congratulate ourselves on another year of putting out Real Music For Real People…
That’s why we enjoy this little tradition of posting the annual ‘staff picks’ from our own catalogue… it forces us to sit back, relax and start playing through some of that incredible music that we’ve released into a harsh world in the last year. 
Don’t think it’s easy … Team BBE can be riven with hissy-fits and sulkiness for a couple of days as personal favourites are out-voted, over-ruled or ruled out over technicalities  (e.g. the member of staff who insisted on having every track from the weird and wonderful  Strange Breaks and Mister Thing III). But the collective process usually ends in a group hug and a nice warm glow once we playback the final selection. 
It’s impossible to let the occasion pass without mentioning some of the ones that got away, though. Despite the plethora of new artists we’ve put out over the past few years we’re probably still best-known for our compilations, instantly  recognizable both visually and aurally, and this year saw no let- up in either quantity or quality. As well as the aforementioned Strange Breaks and Mister Thing III, which won plaudits from the most seasoned vinyl junkies for its educative and entertaining qualities, we had Sean P’s personal trip down memory lane to an old-school that few of today’s hip-hop generation even knew existed, Rock It Don’t Stop It. We also had Kev Beadle’s dig around the private press archives for lost jazz classics, resulting in his Private Collection, and the fourth …yes, fourth!.. instalment of Keb Darge and Little Edith’s Legendary Wild Rockers, raw rockabilly from one of our longest-serving and most illustrious of collaborators. 
Having seen a lot of reissues done very badly, 2014 was the year we stepped up the game with our Masters We Love series. Lavishly packaged and remastered from the original sources, we’ve been able to put legendary albums previously known only to hard-core collectors back into wider circulation. Nana Love, Crystal Winds, Hal Bradbury,  Janet Lawson, The Craig Peyton Group were some of the artists in this series who benefited from this exposure but inexplicably didn’t make the cut for our year end round-up … Band X and Dan Mastroianni are two more who did. We also put out the legendary Lost Album from Iron Curtain synth-meisters Rodion G.A. 
So what of those new artists? For every one that scraped on this seasonal bonanza, there were a couple more that didn’t … so a big shout-out to Lady Daisey, Morgan featuring Jo Sims, Very Tall Stories,Loretta Heywood, Hempolics,  The Grits, Algebra Blessett, Yesking, Duct Tape, Time For T, and DJ Oil, who between them represent just about every kind of credible underground music-making going on right now. 
As for those represented on this excursion, there’s no lack of diversity there, either.  Old friends like Shawn Lee, DJ Vadim and Mr.Bird jostle for attention alongside Slakah the Beatchild, Anchorsong,, Tricky D, The Excelsiors, Larry Achiampong, True Ingredients, Megajawns, Vaitea and More Like Trees. From the dopest dubbed out downtempo headnodders to the most progressive of up-tempo left-field dance, taking in the flavours of Africa, the Caribbean and the East along the way. 2014 was one helluva ride … hope you enjoy this brief trip back through it alongside.

Jazz & Milk turns TEN! To celebrate a decade full of music the Munich based label offers a limited vinyl 12" edition which comes in a hand-drawn and numbered sleeve - 300 copies available only! Since 2005 Jazz & Milk offers an experimental playground for international artists. On Ten Years of Jazz & Milk four exclusive tracks are brought to you by the likes of Sam Irl, Mieux, Todd Simon & The Angel City All Star Brass Band and label founder Dusty.

On the A-side label artist Sam Irl brings Dub culture onto electronic dance floors. Dreams is a forward driven introspective dub track built around a heavy steppas-influenced rhythm and deep bassline. Expect his full-length solo debut album to released later this year on Jazz & Milk!

Mieux is a young upcoming duo from Vienna known from their Boiler Room live performance or their debut EP on Up My Alley! With Technotrap they contribute a playful and dreamy uptempo tune that cleverly balances a straight-forward driven beat with harmonic and repetitive melodic figures.

Label head Dusty joins the EP with a slow-house MPC jam called Heavy Lights. After a dreamy intro the track soon fades into a hypnotic direction based on percussive vibes, big bottom samples and heavy hitting snares.

Todd Simon's arrangement, blending multiple versions of a classic for his 21-piece ensemble featuring himself on Flügelhorn and Alan Lightner on Steel Drums. Recorded live to tape in an 80 year-old studio located in the heart of Hollywood.

Thanks to each and everyone for supporting Jazz & Milk and vinyl music culture throughout the years!

Orchestre Black Santiago & Vincent Ahehehinou: " Best Woman"

Portland, OR producer HOT16 continues his recent run of quality releases with his new 7” single, ‘Rhythm’, which features guest vocals from Ohmega Watts, and a b-side remix by the legendary K-Def. 

‘Rhythm’ is not only an ode to the music that moves the body, but the vibe that connects us all, beyond barriers of language and nationality.   

Utilizing samples, keyboards, and chopped up live Rhodes, Guitar, and Horns, HOT16 has crafted an incredibly impressive, and ever changing beat that allows Ohmega Watts to deliver his critical, yet hopeful rhymes.  

K-Def blesses the b-side with an amazing remix that ups the tempo, and uses bass, horns, and strings on top of a driving breakbeat to create a darker tone that brings out the seriousness behind Ohmega’s message. 

‘Rhythm’ is a funky, soulful record that captures the spirit of the golden era of Hip-Hop, without ever sounding retro or throwback.  This is what good Hip-Hop sounds like in 2016 and beyond.

Vocals by Ohmega Watts

Utilizing the original multi-track masters (one of the benefits of keeping things in the family) Sofrito's Frankie Francis has created a masterful re-edit of "Serve And Protect," showcasing some of the fiercest playing on the latest Souljazz LP <i>Solidarity</i>.

The Souljazz Orchestra - Serve And Protect (Frankie Francis - Sofrito ReWork)

The essence of contemporary jazz and hip hop are in perfect harmony with the rarities of Brazilian music within this project. Formed by musicians and producers Omig One, Calmão Tranquis and Guimas Santos, Mental Abstrato released their first album, "Pure Essence" in 2010 in Japan, with great international recognition. Some of the themes, however, were distributed by major labels like BBE Records, Far Out Records, IRMA Records and Paris Djs.

 In 2014, with the song "Baião" - Mental Abstract & Dj Thira, they entered the top 10 of BBC Radio London, among classical and contemporary Brazilian music, elected by the respected music producer and researcher Gilles Peterson.

 Now they arrive with their second album, "UZOMA", recorded at Red Bull Music Studios São Paulo, an urban and Afro-jazz soundtrack, representing contemporary Brazilian music, from the suburbs of São Paulo to the world.

 Newcomers from a Cuba / Havana mini-tour, Mental Abstrato has been gaining prominence in recent years, performing at music festivals around Brazil and around the world, playing along or on the same stage as Elza Soares, Joao Donato, Azymuth, Duofel , Bocato and the Americans Robert Glasper, Joey Bada$$, the Italians Nu Guinea, among others. Guest artists such as legendary singer Claudya, Bocato, Tassia Reis, Rincon Sapiênça, Karol Conka, Rico Dalasam, Di Melo, Karla da Silva, Rashid, Xênia França, Izzy Gordon and many others have participated in their shows.
