Swinging into our eardrums from beautiful British Columbia, JPOD The Beat Chef brings us his dazzling new EP, Taking a Deep Breath, out today (5/5) on Addictech Records. The crafty Canadian blends psychedelic swing, heart-pounding percussion, and plenty of bass into this smorgasbord of delectable delicacies.

"Casa de Selva" employs some brass stabs to accompany all that bass. The groove-laden cut will plaster a perma-grin across your face as you duck and weave with the addicting rhythm. Clap your hands and pump your fists to this one--it's a spectacular display of JPOD's production prowess, amongst a bevy of fun and funky tracks. We see this one cruising to the top of the glitch-hop charts.

JPOD - Casa de Selva [Out 5/5 on Addictech]

Finding new music that resonates with us can sometimes be a challenge. There's an immense amount of stuff out there - some that's best served at loud volumes, others that gently recall distant memories of times gone by.

We're fortunate to be able to work with so many talented artists, and equally as fortunate to be able to share them with you. The GrapeVine is designed to help highlight some of these producers and fresh new tunes that deserve your listening ear. This is our thanks to you - please download these, enjoy them, and support the artists that have contributed to this project.

Slow Coast II is a collage of my reactions to the positive and negative waves washing over me during the last few months of this changing tide in our history, coalescing into a coastal cruise through the frequencies of my mind.

Anchor Bay, California based electronic music artist and producer Michal Menert draws breath from the world that surrounds him, transmuting daily inspiration into music that is singularly his own. 

“A synthesis of past, present, and future, elegantly woven together by the hands of Michal Menert.” – Huffington Post on Space Jazz

A youth steeped in a broad swath of both Eastern and Western musical traditions gives Menert a deep palate from which to draw; his passion for original analog sounds coupled with a vast knowledge of music history has given him a unique ability to pull from the global creative canon with ease. A multi-instrumentalist, he incorporates live guitar and keys into his final production for a full sound and rich feel. 

As Menert co-produced the chart topping Pretty Lights album Taking Up Your Precious Time it was natural that he was the first artist to join Pretty Lights Music. His debut solo album Dreaming of a Bigger Life was released in 2010, followed by 2012’s mega-LP Even If It Isn’t Right. In winter of 2015 Menert released the highly anticipated Space Jazz, followed by fall 2015’s debut release by his band Michal Menert & the Pretty Fantastics, 1. His next release is expected in winter 2018.

In the live realm, Menert supplied sound design for Dead & Co tours in 2016 and 2017. Additionally, he supplied sound design on Mickey Hart’s Planet Drum rerelease in Fall 2016. Building on that relationship, Menert in both a featured performer and co-producer on Hart’s next studio record, slated for release in the fall of 2017.

Menert’s reputation as a live performer continues to grow, as he brings his music to fans nationwide via both his septet, Michal Menert & The Pretty Fantastics, and his 22-piece all-star ensemble the Michal Menert Big Band. His collaborations have led to the formation of myriad ongoing side projects including Manic Menert (with Manic Focus), Half Color (with Paul Basic) & Club Scouts (with Mux Mool). Over the years Menert has shared the stage with a number of musical luminaries including STS9, Bassnectar, Umphrey’s McGee, and more, and played legendary venues including the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, The Gorge in Washington and the Red Rocks Amphitheatre (twice in 2016 alone.)

Committed to a community driven approach to collaborative creativity, Menert works hand in hand with producers he chooses for his own record label, Super Best Records. A dynamic and ideological producer, collaborating and working closely with a new generation of hip-hop & EDM producers, Menert is dedicated to bringing a new musical vision to life free from limitation.
