Julie Pavon - High (Musumeci Remix) - s0800

The best sets are when they transport you to a parallel reality. The ones that make you forget where you are standing. Esquivel was able, masterfully, to take Sommo through a sonic journey full of emotions. Different are the genres that make up this set, but Groove and Funk are always whispering from behind.

Special Guest Esquivel

British chill-out veteran Phil Mison (Cantoma, Reverso 68) shares his new track ‘End Of The Day’ under the Ambala-moniker, for which he’s currently working on an album on Music For Dreams.
 
‘End Of The Day’ →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The new track sees Phil collaborate with Danish producer duo WALTHER & OliO while enlisting trumpetist Kasper Tranberg who hangs his gorgeous wafts of melody on a blissed-out downtempo beat. Chill-out music as Mison does it best, recalling his seminal Balearic work as Cantoma.
 
The forthcoming forthcoming LP, titled Volume 2, is set to come out in the beginning of 2025.

Ambala - End Of The Day (ft. WALTHER, OliO & Kasper Tranberg) - s0756

There’s a new album on the way from one of Denmarks foremost electronic pioneers.

'Red Flowers' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

Kenneth Bager’s next project, titled Silence Was Singing, is an electronic pop-collaboration with british singer-songwriter Findlay Brown. The artists here present the second single, ‘Red Flowers’, released April 26 on Kenneth Bager’s own label Music For Dreams.

‘Red Flowers’ is a dub-inspired electronic pop track festooned with shimmering disco synths (Nikolaj Torp) and billowing trumpet hooks (Kasper Tranberg).

Bager says:
“The track came about a cold winter day in a studio in Østerbro (Copenhagen). Anders Ponsaing (producer) and I had come up with a demo but it was missing something. We liked the idea of a trumpet and called up the incredible trumpetist Kasper Tranberg. When we heard the melodies and the sound of his trumpet on the track, everything suddenly clicked together.
The keyboards are recorded in London by Nikolaj Torp, along with the bass, played by Colin Parkinson. The vocal, of course, is sung by Findlay Brown, and recorded on the Danish island of Møn. 

Silence Was Singing, which will drop in January 2025 via Music For Dreams, adds one more bud to Kenneth Bager’s already flowery oeuvre. Beginning with the trailblazing house and techno-recordings of the early 90’s under the moniker Dr. Baker, shifting form to the jazz-pop pixie world of his ‘fragments’-projects, and later unfolding in the big-room electronic pop of Follow The Beat. More recently, Bager has released the film-music project East of North (2023) and the club album Late Night Symphonies (2022).

Kenneth Bager & Findlay Brown - Red Flowers (ft. Anders Ponsaing & Kasper Tranberg) - s0623

Landegaard - Robot Funk

Ahead of the release of his hotly anticipated ninth album as the Emperor Machine, Island Boogie, Andrew Meecham releases a club-focused 12” featuring some dancefloor dubs and reworks of key LP cuts.

Island Boogie arrives four years after Meecham’s previous full-length, Music Not Safari, and sees the veteran producer deliver his most ‘personal’ set yet – a collection of kaleidoscopic, cosmic-leaning, dub disco-influenced neo-boogie excursions inspired by his love of the custom-built soundsystem at Rotation Garden Party, an annual micro-festival founded by a group of friends including his former Chicken Lips production partner Dean Meredith.

It's fitting, then, that the EP begins with a superb interpretation of ‘'Dévoilez-Vous’ by T-Kutt, AKA Meredith and long-term studio partner Ben Shenton. The pair’s ‘AM FM Club Mix’ sits somewhere between classic Prelude-style electrofunk, NYC proto-house and early British interpretations of American house music. Séverine Mouletin’s chopped-up improvised vocals weave in and out of sun-bright keyboard riffs, colourful synthesiser motifs, heady synth-strings, D-Train style synth-bass and delay-laden machine drums. It’s a superb re-imagination of one of the album’s most stellar moments.

The EP’s other headline-grabbing remix comes courtesy of Leng co-founder Paul Murphy AKA Mudd. He reworks title track ‘Island Boogie’, teasing out the spacey synths and languid jazz-funk grooves of Meecham’s original mix and dialling them up to the max. The resultant revision sparkles with crunchy clavinet licks, mazy synth and electric piano solos, and spacey chords rising above a mid-tempo dancefloor groove.

To complete a strong package, Meecham adds two dubs in his distinctively stripped-back, tape echo-heavy style. He first takes on EP title track ‘Dévoilez-Vous’, wrapping vintage drum machine hits in oodles of space echo and dub delay while devoting more time and space to the killer bassline, Rupert Brown’s infectious hand percussion, and Mouletin’s vocalisations. 

To round off the EP, he dubs out album epic ‘La Cassette’, another collaboration with Mouletin that also features additional percussion by Brown. Like the original synth-powered dancefloor dubs of the early-to-mid-80s that have long been an inspiration, Meecham’s ‘La Cassette’ dub features key musical elements – many drenched in trippy effects – popping in and out of the mix, while his sturdy drums and memorable bassline spar with Brown’s percussion below.

Emperor Machine - Dévoilez-Vous (Dub)

Commander F is the second single leading up to Wille's debut LP "Shoreline Orbs".

'Commander F' →https://linktr.ee/musicfordreams

The sound is distinctly an 80s affair, while the title is a reference to the infamous USS Nimitz Encounter in 2004, where a certain pilot commander "F" and crew saw a Tic-Tac shaped craft, hovering and making otherworldly maneuvers. In other words, a certain object that was (and still is) unidentified and flying. Intriguing!

As much as any work of instrumental electronic music can be "about" something, Wille's upcoming LP "Shoreline Orbs" is very much about some of these as of yet unsolved mysteries, what their legimaticay may or may not entail for our collective worldview, and about refinding a fundamental curiosity seemingly lost in the wilderness of a bureaucratic adulthood, and putting that feeling to sound.

Wille - Commander F - s0789

"Bokazo" is a heavy and pulsing journey into Ghana mixed with deeper modern dancefloor vibes.

Taken from the "Mystery Trip Vol. 1" ltd edition cassette tape:

<b> INSTANT DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OF ALL SEPERATED TRACKS AVAILABLE W/ PURCHASE OF CASSETTE TAPE AT HTTP://BASTARDJAZZ.BIGCARTEL.COM </b>

Captain Planet has been on a roll over the last year, with the release his acclaimed debut album “Cookin’ Gumbo”, an expansive European tour, and a steady stream of head-turning remixes for heavyweights like Ana Tijoux, Katy B, AM & Shawn Lee, The Pimps of Joytime, Scrimshire and more. Now the wayfaring dj/producer returns to Bastard Jazz for a very special cassette tape project entitled “Mystery Trip Vol. 1”.
 
Approaching the project with a classic mixtape mentality and drawing inspiration from Madlib’s “Medicine Show” series, the Captain has sourced out sounds from all corners of the globe. Obscure cuts were ripped from vinyl, then sliced, diced, chopped and skewed with a hefty injection of original production, programming and homegrown field recordings from his travels around the world.  What’s resulted is a 45 minute multi-generational sonic journey, touching on sounds from Senegal, Jamaica, Ghana, Puerto Rico, Peru, Brazil, Italy, Korea, Guadeloupe, and Zimbabwe, that reflect the depth of the Captain’s crates and his skills behind the boards. “Mystery Trip” is not just a DJ mix nor a collection of simple edits but rather an entirely new piece of work from C.P. - a love letter  to the funky sounds of our planet and the rare vinyl it hides in dusty junk shops, back alleyways, basements and attics.
 
Each limited-edition “Mystery Trip” Cassette tape comes with a free digital download of separated tracks/edits, along with the full digi-mix. As an added bonus, Captain Planet is hand-painting an exclusive batch of Walkmen with his own one-of-a-kind designs, which will be available as a premium pack with the tape at the Bastard Jazz store. A contest is also underway to win a special hand-painted vintage Boombox to blast the funky outernational sounds of this Mystery Trip in style! Find out more at bastardjazz.com
