It’s been a steady process of growth and a long time coming to arrive at this sophomore full-length for the man known in his native Steel City and beyond as producer/keyboardist/DJ Buscrates, and every minute of it can be heard and felt on these ten funky and highly evocative tracks.

The finely-honed balancing act between vintage-80s-synth goodness and neck-snapping 90s boom bap, all coated with just the right amount of soulful melodic sensibility never falters at any point on the album. For a more specific comparison, think Manzel's Midnight Theme LP updated for these strange times we're in seems to fit the bill, especially on tracks like "Prisms," "Floating In The Wind" and "Early Morning." This is the funky instrumental mood music you desperately need right now whether you realize it or not, and Buscrates is here to serve it up. "Buckin'" is prominent among the many highlights of the Pittsburgh producer’s album, strongly evoking the likes of Paul Hardcastle, Atmosfear and the Art Of Noise while simultaneously paying homage to the funk/R&B roots of Detroit techno pioneers like Juan Atkins and Derrick May. The album's sonic journey culminates in "On My Way," the only vocal track on the album and which features Soraya Watti's lovely vocals. One can easily imagine this track on the playlist of NY's WBLS in the early 80s. Soraya's smooth and soulful tones prove to be the perfect addition and act as a kind of sexy ghost in the Buscrates machine. The album as a whole feels like nothing so much as an updated, postmodern version of the kinds of sleek, funky grooves oozing through your Cadillac's 8-track deck circa 1972. 

It's music that's "smooth" in all the best possible connotations of the term: music that's smooth on the streets and also smooth between the sheets. It's sleek, sexy and very, very funky, which will come as no surprise to Bus' 12,000 Twitch followers accumulated over the course of his weekly Friday stream. Notable fans and supporters of his include Jazzy Jeff, Francois K, Dâm Funk, Rich Medina, and Spinna. Even more believers in his funky gospel have come as a result of his increasing road gigs in cities like Berlin, NYC, Detroit and Washington DC.

This new album is both a culmination and the beginning of a glorious new phase. Buscrates' time is right now.

BusCrates - Floating In The Wind

‘Hello World’ is the debut album from Matt Wilde, released 14th July 2023 with Band on the Wall Recordings.

'Hello World' is an audio catalogue of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings, shared with honesty and curiosity for the human condition. Matt crafts emotive and uplifting compositions denoting a tender illustration of the human experience, finding and celebrating the simple and beautiful moments of life.

From the initial key flourishes of first single and LP opener ‘Who Cares’, ‘Hello World’ embeds the listener in a technicolour world of rich melodies, crisp instrumentation and meditative grooves. Over its eleven track duration, the album channels calming sonics, passionate playing and an optimistic, playful outlook whilst offering moments of reflection and calm.

With far-reaching support from Gilles Peterson & Tom Ravenscroft (BBC Radio 6), Jamie Cullum (BBC Radio 2), Jazz FM and more, ‘Hello World’ is Matt Wilde’s most expansive body of work to date.

"A mancunian moment... love this!” Gilles Peterson

"He's been making a lot of noise for himself in the jazz and beats space... it's right there in the centre of what everyone's listening to" Jamie Cullum, BBC Radio 2

A full-length beat lp from the collaboration of two Hungarian dj/producers, Mil and Suhov offers a personal view of the country's musical heritage.The genre is somewhere around instrumental hip-hop and features unique 70's and 80's samples. The creators raked up a dozen forgotten vinyls, including soundtracks, freaky Hungarian beat, jazz, disco and funky records. Howewer officially blocked, the Western music found its way to the Eastern Blocks' youth via the Luxemburg Radio, and created an underground club scene and some really hard-to-find singles. Mil and Suhov infused these items with dusty grooves and stricts rhythms so at last they can return to the dancefloor.
