Hardkandy / Moonlight

A smoothed out, catchy little downtempo bobber from a cool late-winter night in The Vault.  Makaya bounces on a flammed rimshot, Abrams jumps in quickly with some nice bass chords, Justefan colors the progression with his singing vibraphone harmonies, and Marquis tops it all off with a gorgeous trumpet melody and solo verse.

Recorded on March 5th, 2014 by Dave Vettraino.  Personnel: Makaya McCraven - drums, Joshua Abrams - bass, Justin Thomas - vibraphone, Marquis Hill - trumpet.

After the dynamo sophomore release that was 2013's "Curiosities", New Zealand's Lord Echo returns to Brooklyn's Bastard Jazz label, this time producing Kiwi trio The Elder Statesman comprised of twin brothers and Wellington fixtures Christopher (piano) and Daniel (double bass) Yeabsley with Lord Echo himself on percussion and drums. 

On the "A" side, Montreux Sunrise is mellow meander through a laidback early 70s souljazz vibes, while "Trans Alpine Express" picks things up on the B side with a deep, spiritual piano groove, upfront doublebass, and Echo's percussion perfectly in the pocket. 

A timeless gem of a 7" from Bastard Jazz, releasing their own namesake for once!

Wildcookie "Serious Drug" Instrumental

Available on custom White Vinyl 12" or Digital -> https://bastardjazz.bandcamp.com/

Soundboard maestros Lord Echo and DJ Day link up across oceans to trade remix duties on each other's top tunes, flipping the pair onto a heavily dubbed out Double A-side single pressed up on frothing white vinyl. 

California dance-floor champ DJ Day gives Echo's iconic "Bohemian Idol" a 1980s drum machine reggae vibe and lets the delay run wild, while New Zealand's analog maverick Lord Echo transforms Day's "Land of a Thousand Chances" into a live disco dub studio jam session.

Catch the limited 12" out worldwide May 12th on Bastard Jazz Recordings.

Lord Echo - Bohemian Idol (DJ Day's Chair-Bro Remix)

Pamoja - Oooh baby

Steel rails sigh under this midnight run
Cold river murmurs where the city’s begun
Small case carried with the dreams I hide
North wind cutting as I start my stride

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Bridges shimmer in a hard blue glow
Ambition rising with the breeze I know
No backward glance at the darker thread
I move north where my voice runs ahead

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Horn cuts clean, letting my plea break free
Street pulse echoing a path for me
I rise onward as the night grows late
Steel and steam tracing out my fate

I rise alone beneath the fading lights
Northbound heart stepping out of old nights
By the riverfront I lay down my claim
Independence calling and it shapes my name

Cold river drift, pull me toward the dawn
New stride forming, old shadow gone

I rise alone

Lyrics :

On Your Skin

[Verse]
The night drips slow like honey on a spoon
Your shadow dances with the silver moon
Every breath you take
A spark
A tune

[Prechorus]
The heat
It lingers
It clings to my hand
Like whispers written in the desert sand

[Chorus]
On your skin
Where the stars begin
Every touch
Every sin
Pulls me in
On your skin
Where the fire spins
I get lost
I give in

[Verse 2]
The air is thick with secrets left unsaid
Your name
A song stuck inside my head
A tangled thread
Where we both are led

[Prechorus]
The lines
They blur
Like smoke in the air
I’m caught
I’m tangled
I don’t even care

[Chorus]
On your skin
Where the stars begin
Every touch
Every sin
Pulls me in
On your skin
Where the fire spins
I get lost
I give in

On your Skin
