Duration: 6 min 31 s
Description: Mario Acquaviva’s 1983 ‘Notturno Italiano’, one of the most sought after italian boogie songs, receives a full on rework/reconstruction from Azymuth’s Alex Malheiros and Daniel Maunick [of Far Out fame]. On the flipside Ron Trent [no presentation needed] takes all the ingredients and delivers a fierce boogie remix that has the word Classic written all over it!

The Charles Webster remix of this track was released in 2015 on the Japan only CD LP, 'Vacations Never Taken' (Victor Entertainment). The Ambient Mix was included on the, 'Miró In The Bathroom' album which came out on Jansen Jardin in April 2021. This is one of two previously unreleased versions available now from the Jansen Jardin Bandcamp page (see buy-link).

This album was born from an inherent need to transcend, teleport, and transform. It exists by the weight of each song created, they have their own pulse and breathe and help in the creation of our own dimension: Planet Beach.

Planet Beach is an alternative reality space, somewhere between future and present, a state of mind. We encourage you to enjoy this album with your whole body, as if absorbing the heat of the sun.

I Can't Sleep was originally written back in 2012 while working on tracks for the Won Ton Sunrise LP. It didn't make it onto the album, but in 2020 a new version was recorded with Okinawa Delays and released on Archipelago Records. This dub version of the original 2012 demo is available now from Jansen Jardin (see buy link).

Captain Attractive - Drum Chums Vol. 5
TD-CHUMS005

A1. It's More Fun 2 Make Love
A2. Memories
B1. Dreamer
B2. Ghana Do It

Drum Chums Vol. 5 marks the arrival of Captain Attractive, an international man of mystery, head-nod hero and edit expert whose many masterpieces inspired us to pick up the scalpel in the first place. Last seen leaving Berlin on a world tour, this legend parked the Red Motorbike outside Talking Drums HQ and treated us to a lesson in San Fran sleaze, hippie disco and MPC bump.

The A-side opens with the sticky funk of “It’s More Fun 2 Make Love”, a pitched down disco cruiser extended for the tantric dance floor and mastered on an old porno VHS. Sultry, slinky and rated X. We’re always hungry after the act and graciously Captain Attractive is on hand with a donut called “Memories” to close out the A-side, looping some sweet soul into the kind of hypnotic hip hop as house romper which defined beatdown way back when. 

The Captain takes the yacht to the Med on the B1 with the super Balearic groove of “Dreamer”, an astounding combination of dexterous bass, choral vocals and rolling piano, all set to the shimmy of hippie percussion. It could be a Laurel Canyon memory, an Xtian obscurity or something much deeper, but it’s definitely twelve minutes of sunset bliss - just wait until my guy flips the script after seven minutes! The dude drops the curtain with another bitesize portion of MPC mastery, cutting up some thick wax guitar and cool keys over a swung groove for “Ghana Do It”. Captain Attractive taking you where you want to go.

100% Drum Fun Guaranteed.

Edit of a Nigerian uptempo disco banger with a nice synthline that once formed a beatless break, causing dancers to stop and wonder what happened. Needed a more continuous flow for danceability

B2 SIN TI YO NO

Hell Yeah welcomes the Italian musical collective @AuraSafari for a debut EP on the label.

The band, who are at the forefront of a new Italian fusion sound that blends jazz-funk, electronic and world sounds, is made up of acclaimed house devotee Nicholas Iammatteo, plus Alessandro Deledda, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni and Andrea Moretti. They contributed a standout track to the Buena Onda - Balearic Beats compilation last year as well as releasing a full length LP on UK label Church to critical acclaim.

Opener 'Dreams of Music' is a lush, new age groove with rich musicality, wind instruments and live drums all glowing warmly as you roll into sundown. 'Oasis' then sinks into a reflective mood, with lazy drums and sensuous late night chords sounding like Roy Ayers all loved up and super stoned. The noodling keys really melt your heart before the excellent 'Slow Divers' pairs more majestic bass riffs with wet claps and splashing cymbals as a wandering lead drifts up to the heavens. It has a dubby swagger to it that is superbly subtle.

Closing out the EP 'Libra', is a heartwarming, slow motion, jazz-funk fusion packed with detail and life affirming synth playing.

These are gloriously heartfelt tracks that showcase this collective's supreme musical ability as well as their unquestionable understanding of jazz, funk and soul, past, present and future.
