RADIO.D59B / FUNK FOUNDATIONS #14 / Tribute to Bob James

ZUIM sat in for Wussah this month and brought two hours of funk, jazz fusion, soul and boogie. Groove heavy basslines, smooth vocals and fizzy synth lines inside.

ZUIM - August 2021

‘Caminhos’ is a tribute to the late samba composer Catoni, featuring the masters lush vocal & guitar samples (with the permission of his family). The hard swinging hip hop track bridges gaps between classic Brazilian samba & bossa nova sounds with hard hitting Dilla-esque grooves, raw funk and boom bap, taking us on a trip to the shores of Rio de Janeiro. “The type of track you could loop forever”.

MIMS is delighted to share a special and certainly eclectic mix from Lorenzi Morresi, DJ, producer, musician and co-founder of Supereclectic, whose recent album 'Music For Closed Airports’ is a wonderful mix of live compositions and studio productions that stretch out across jazz funk, italian library and electronica.

@lorenzomorresi: “This mix was recorded in my countryside studio in Le Marche region in Italy. It features some of my own music as well as artists and tracks that inspired my new album 'Music For Closed Airports'.”

Previous releases included a sold-out 45 collaboration with Tenderlonious, on 22a Music,  that we raved about on release, and the first taste of much more to come from the pair.  And not forgetting his debut album ‘Object Melodie’ on Fly By Night Music, another MIMS favourite. 

Supereclectic is a new record label founded in 2020 by Italian DJ's and producers Lorenzo Morresi and Tommaso Cicconi. They both share a passion for high quality music where genre knows no bounds, although their label and DJ sets tend to focus on jazz, funk, fusion, contemporary experimental and Italian library rarities. The label has already released two eps featuring obscure jazz funk band Session Segreta and Italian jazz guitarist Giulio Romano Malaisi. This year the label released Lorenzo Morresi's 2nd album 'Music For Closed Airports' and promises part one in the Supereclectic Edits series that will feature rare edits and represses from their record collections.

Erogema EP

Premiere: D'agua Negra - Yoga Gota Boca Ardente

New music from award winning 19-year-old saxophonist and composer Emma Rawicz.

Already making waves on the UK music scene, at the age of 19 Emma has already recorded her eagerly awaited debut album featuring guitarist Ant Law, made up entirely of her original compositions, due to be released in May 2022. She has also created a name for herself both as a bandleader and a sideman. A new arrival on the scene, she has already made an impact, regularly playing at major London jazz venues with a wide range of established musicians. Emma is a recipient of the 2021 Drake Yolanda Award.

"Voodoo" is a driving, jazz-funk infused track. It features angular, grooving melodies, clever interplay between instrumentation and burning solos from Scottie Thompson (piano), Ant Law (guitar) and Emma (saxophone). An original composition with shades of Chris Potter, Wayne Shorter and Kenny Garrett.

Emma's influences range from modern jazz and fusion to folk and soul. But growing up in rural North Devon, Emma didn't discover jazz until the age of 15, and didn't pick up a tenor saxophone until a year later, but had spent her childhood otherwise immersed in largely folk and classical music.

Emma is a natural performer. Her music has a unique sound, fusing all her many influences, and her compositions range from lilting Afro Cuban inspired grooves to hard hitting modern jazz and funk numbers.
