This track is an hommage to my favorite and in my opinion the best beatmaker the Netherlands has to offer.. The big homie MOODS! 

The moment i first heard a moods beat i had the feeling i had 2 options.. or stop making beats or step my game up by 10. 
And with every new track i hear of this dude i get that same feeling again.

Your a big inspiration bro..
Love! 

(And a special shout out to Sammy Spencer for the guitar parts!)

Potatohead People single "Explosives" (feat. Illa J & Moka Only) b/w "Blue Charms", taken from the full length album Big Luxury. "Blue Charms" also available on 7" vinyl: https://potatoheadpeople.bandcamp.com/album/luv-ya-blue-charms-7

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.

Potatohead People - Blue Charms

Hugely inspired by Flying Lotus' latest record "Your'e Dead!", I wanted to hear the sounds of 'Siren Song' being placed in another context. I took the vocals form Angel Deradoori and sampled a few bass, fx and harmonical parts to create my own version. Enjoy!

JAKARTA RECORDS' ARTIST & PRODUCER BLUESTAEB GEARS FOR UPCOMING ALBUM RELEASE WITH NEW SINGLE "MIND" FT. NOAH SLEE & MAÏA

Berlin and Paris based producer Bluestaeb releases new single "Mind" - the first taste of new album Everything Is Always a Process, out via tastemaker label Jakarta Records later this year.

Featuring the vocals of NZ artist Noah Slee and Australia's multi-disciplinary artist MAÏA, "Mind" is an infinitely soulful duet which showcases all three of the artists in their own right. Groove, beats, a subdued neo-soul sensibility, and melodic adlibs place Bluestaeb alongside acts such as Eric Lau, Kaytranada

Originally started in 2015, the track found its soulmate when Bluestaeb and Noah met at a show in Stuttgart in 2016 and started sending beats back and forth.

"Noah did a first version of the song and then invited MAÏA to join and bring another dimension to the track."

In "Mind", Bluestaeb's influences shine through, while taking on a sound of their own at the same time. The second part of the beat includes a little reference to one of his favourite tracks by The Roots, bringing more live instrumentation, with slick guitar licks and keys taking the original beat into a more mature space.
