Following the critically-acclaimed 2012 release of their beat-centric compilation <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bastardjazz/sets/tall-black-guy-presents">'Tempo Dreams Vol. 1'</a> (assembled by Detroit/UK producer-at-large Tall Black Guy), Brooklyn wax purveyors Bastard Jazz Recordings have returned with Volume 2 of the enlightening, genre-bending series. This time around, the label has enlisted Bay Area mainstay DJ/producers Teeko & B. Bravo, driving forces behind the transformative “modern funk” sound emerging out of the West Coast. Sticking with the series' theme of showcasing new styles and emerging artists, curated by their own musical peers, Teeko and Bravo have conjured up an LP of mind-blowing tracks that push the limits of soulful electronic funk, outernational boogie, and cosmic hip-hop.

'Tempo Dreams Volume 2' picks up where the first edition left off, bridging the gaps between various geographic locations and local scenes, while also reaching for new heights with soaring vocal features and dance-floor primed beats. The compilers' home town is heavily represented through hits like the 80's R&B-styled bomb “Hard Pressed” by Rojai and E.Live, the deep & sexy nighttime-synth vibes of K-Maxx (“Dreamin’ Of You”), and an unreleased sun-drenched remix of the Bayonics track “Wheels". Left coast collective Mugpush bring more heat on “Came Too Far”, channeling a deft balance of smooth P-Funk with killer rhymes from the ever-versatile Black Spade. Teeko and Bravo's own Starship Connection keeps things bumping with “We Can Go All Night”, complete with sexy boogie thump, understated vocals and twinkling synths. Europe and the UK also supply their take on this sound, with the nasty vocodor funk of “Dans” by Belgium’s Pomrad, the bass-heavy Atjazz creeper “One” (featuring wunderkind Amalia’s woozy vocals), and the swirling UK electro-hop of the Insomniax ("A Vibe For Chrissy"), with it’s lovelorn hip-hop vocals.

Individually, both Teeko and B.Bravo have hefty resumes: Bravo is a 2010 graduate of Red Bull Music Academy with releases on Brownswood, Frite Nite and Ernest Endeavors. His tune “Computer Love” was named one of 2009’s best tracks by Benji B (BBC Radio 1). He’s shared the stage with artists like Chromeo, Dam-Funk, Flying Lotus and serenaded crowds across the world with his bass heavy outerspace boogie and dirty grinding synth grooves at festivals like SXSW, Detroit Electronic Music Festival, and Sonar in Barcelona. Teeko, creator of SF’s infamous 4ONEFUNK crew, has been a key player in the next generation of the Bay Area’s Turntablist scene and has been called “the most insane & creative turntablist I have ever worked with" by Mark Ronson, who featured him on his Record Collection album. Recent years have had Teeko looking towards production with his debut album Turn Off The Dark and his collaboration with B.Bravo as The Starship Connection, churning out cosmic, sludgy electronic funk music on Salva’s Fritenite label. The duo's deft ear and unparalleled musical credentials inspired Bastard Jazz to enlist them for this next expedition into Tempo Dreams. "We wanted to represent soulful music being made by our piers from all over the world," says B. Bravo "Artists from California to New York, Canada, London, Germany all with different modern styles but sharing a common thread of being influenced by funk and soul."

empty eyes

The forgotten form emerges like a shadow carved in the light, where echoes fade and rivers flow namelessly. Between hollow skies and oceans lost in memory, flames burn gently, weaving a fragile thread of dawn. It is a passage through silence and fire, dissolving into the ether, where the forgotten becomes infinite.

Canada's music has always been robust, but in recent years it has leapt to the forefront with different artists making their mark in respective circles and setting certain standards. We hit Toronto this time, and cast the spotlight on 2nd Son, an electronic music producer and multi-instrumentalist. His debut EP entitled First Light (2015) highlights a unique future-gazing, science-fiction infused pedigree of electronic soul, pushing the sonics of beat music into the cosmic landscape. Since producing the Strange Creature EP in 2014, and subsequent singles with longtime collaborator and fellow RBMA Bass Camp alumni  a l l i e , the two were nominated for the SOCAN Songwriting Prize and made debut performances at NXNE, Manifesto, CMJ and M for Montreal. 

2nd Son's home studio has always been a meeting place for like-minded musicians, and 'Me and my homies' was a track that was conceived together with Emdee, a long time music collector and gifted musician. The two recorded the first two sections with a palette of funky synth sounds, wah wah guitars, and percussion overdubs. Months later, another musician Rennie B. Williams (from Antigua)dropped in the studio, and started to lay his rhodes magic in the end section, and with 2nd Son finally piecing it all together, the result is a super groovy treat, infused with elements of hip-hop, soul, and jazz funk - the perfect soundtrack to the start of your day.
