Potatohead People - Follow Your Heart

“Keepin’ It Kool” is the second single from Potatohead People’s upcoming “Eat Your Heart Out” album. Opening with swinging drums, a Bill Withers-esque guitar lick and an earworm of a hook sung by the PP, the song opens up into beautiful R&B vocals from Vancouver’s Kendra Dias. Lyrically the song touches on two common & paradoxical relationship angles–thinking someone is playing it cool, while that person is only playing it cool to see the same interest back. Lovely string arrangements, classic organ, and throwback musical change-ups turn thesong into pure magic. “Eat Your Heart Out” hits everywhere on May 10th.

Working on opposite sides of the landmass we call Canada, Vancouver/Montreal duo Potatohead People (producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical) have been making waves for quite some time with their signature jazzy boom-bap meets boogie inside the bassbin vibes. Called a “formidable tandem” by OkayPlayer, their sounds have been championed early on by the likes of Kaytranada, Soulection, Nightmares on Wax, Pomo, Exmag, Big Boi, and Phife Dawg. After a few early releases on Vancouver based netlabel Jellyfish Recordings, Brooklyn’s Bastard Jazz reissued their 2012 landmark Kosmichemusik EP and pressed a 7” which quickly became a collector’s item. The association landed their song “Back To My Sh*t” (featuring Frank Nitty of Frank’n’Dank) on a Powerade produced LeBron James documentary and Nick and Astro began working on a debut LP for Bastard Jazz, presented here.

Big Luxury draws from influences disparate as classic jazz, prog rock, disco, 90’s hip-hop, DJ Shadow-Era downtempo beats, alongside modern influences like the Brainfeeder crew and new electronic movements coming out of Nick Wisdom’s adopted hometown of Montreal.  What’s resulted is a finely honed, extra buttery album that effortly glides between tempos, but never loses the mood.  The album also features a whole host of guest vocalists -  J Dilla’s younger brother Illa J, legendary Canadian MC Moka Only, New Zealand’s Sorceress, and Amalia all provide contributions to the sounds within.  The album will set the tone for the duo’s big moves this year, including forthcoming collaborations with Illa J and Pomo as well as tour dates in North America and beyond. 

Big Luxury is a velvety ride through vibes and a magnificent debut for these talented young Canadians.

" I was listening to J Dilla before I even knew who he was. 
                                                         It's crazy when people influence you without you even knowing." - Real J. Wallace
 
         In honor of and in tribute to James "J Dilla" Yancey, San Diego emcee and Co-founder of ThChrch, Real J. Wallace resurrects and reinterprets "Sounds Like Love" from debut studio album Yancey Boys. J Dilla hones the prototype of craftsmanship and dedication ThChrch would like to preserve for all releases, as they admire and appreciate the legacy that thrives off of the strength of those he has affected. "All that Tribe Called Quest, that D' Angelo, that Erykah Badu. I was listening to cats like 9th wonder growing up not knowing that it was the evolution of Dilla" stated Real J. Wallace, after a recent session at The Holyfield Studio. As Real J. Wallace continues to evolve, uplifting and honoring those who have assisted in his growth, James "J Dilla" Yancey being one of them, he gives us "Sounds Like Love."

From deep musical origins in Detroit, rapper/singer/songwriter Illa J has been slowly navigating his way through the oft-turbulent waters of Hip-Hop since the tender age of 13, when the young John Yancey aka Illa J wrote his first rhyme alongside his brother, the late great J Dilla. After his brother’s passing in ‘06, he began teaching himself piano, bass and taking vocal lessons while finding himself touring the world and recording a slew of Dilla-related projects, notably being an active member of Slum Village until 2014. His first solo album, '08s Yancey Boys and the Frank Nitt 2013 collaborative album Sunset BLVD were both released on seminal label Delicious Vinyl. Feeling the need for a change creatively as well as geographically, in 2012 John moved to the future music hotbed that is Montreal ultimately making the connection with Canadian producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical aka Potatohead People (whose acclaimed Bastard Jazz debut album Big Luxury in Spring 2015 featured Illa J on two hit singles). The success of their initial collaborations inspired the team to dive into the studio and embark on Illa J's new self-titled solo album, and present an entirely fresh sound of his own.
 
The album Illa J, produced without any samples by Potatohead People alongside a few groundbreaking co-producers, showcases a more mature and at-ease Illa J who is equally comfortable on top of an electronic boogie-inspired beat (“Universe”) as he is getting grimey over a trunk rattling G-Funk joint (the Kaytranada co-produced “Strippers”). On tracks like the sparse, Rhodes driven “Cannonball” (co-produced by Montreal’s Noo Bap), and the early 90s Spiritual / Acid Jazz inspired “Sunflower”, Illa flexes his muscles through both song and rhyme. And of course being true to his roots, the classic Detroit boom-bap sound is ever present on joints like “French Kiss”, “Perfect Game” (quite possibly Rap’s only ode to bowling), and “Never Left”, a touching tribute to his brother and a call-out to abusers of Dilla's legacy.  Vancouver mainstay MC Moka Only contributes invaluably to the cohesive sound of the album as well, providing signature smoothed-out vocal choruses to tracks like “She Burned My Art”, “All Good Pt. 2” and “Who Got It” (co-produced by Mosaic). Dropping Fall 2015 on Bastard Jazz Recordings, Illa J is a brilliantly-produced, diverse, and long overdue solo effort from Yancey.

Just in time for Valentine's day, Bastard Jazz is proud to present a lovesick 7" debut from Vancouver/Montreal duo Potatohead People (aka producers Nick Wisdom & AstroLogical). The duo has been making waves for quite some time now through their slew of releases with netlabel Jellyfish Recordings before getting picked up by the Brooklyn based label.

On the "A" side of the 7", "Back To My Shit" is a lovelorn tale of breakup and redemption featuring the rhymes of Detroit's Frank Nitt (Frank'n'Dank, J. Dilla) with very catchy yet deep synth-heavy production from the Potatohead People. On the flip sidem, we continue the theme with "Love Hz", an instrumental cut with crispy drums, ghostly vocal stabs, a catchy bubbling bassline and pulsing keyboards.

A lovely piece of wax dedicated to the unrequited love in our lives.
