Speakeasy Streets - All Dat Jazz (Jamie Berry Remix)

New Jazzy Swinghop Selection. Kurnel MC feat. Sharleena Ray (prod. The Fritz ) - Long Time.

https://cygnusmusic.link/q1p8vrd

Aside from his abnormal dance moves, Kurnel MC is the proud owner of a dextrous singing voice and witty rapping. Hailing from the far away lands of New Zealand, Kurnel moved to the UK in 2012, and has since infiltrated many of the UK's scenes, rocking microphones for numerous labels. With over 20 years in the game, Kurnel MC has the edge when it comes to finding the perfect balance between rocking the crowd with maximum energy, and letting the music breathe.

As the word on the street has it, Falmouth based Hip Hop producer The Fritz, had been working on something particularly jazzy and soulful since the release of his debut EP 'Schweet'. In steps Kurnel MC, who on hearing the beat knew it was the perfect vessel for telling his story about the troubles of a long distance relationship, and 'Long Time' was born.

Joined by Sharleena Ray, the beautifully soulful singer and former frontwoman of The Swinghoppers, the pair soulfully tell the story which many can relate to, a story of separation and heartache, and ultimately reunion. Over a lucious vintage piano lick, the pair tell the story; each verse written like love letters between the couple penned in smokey jazz clubs and sealed with a kiss.

The Fritz, beat maker extraordinaire and all round sample-based music enthusiast from Cornwall, returns to Ragtime Records with a Jazz Hop double A side, Lemonade, and Back in '89. 

Packed with vintage samples from London's 1920s swing scene and iconic Film Noir vocals, Lemonade is a glitchy lo-fi beat that's filled with rare Big Band loops that are blended with authentic Boom-Bap drums, MPC style. 

Next up is Back in '89, a swingy nod to the Golden Era of Hip Hop that's as atmospheric as it is catchy, with a stuttered sample, neck-breaking head-nod rhythm, and a warm low-end that's just right.

The Fritz - Back In 89

The Fritz - Lemonade

Fresh off the back of the double AA release Lemonade, The Fritz returns with the latest installment of his film-noir inspired Jazz Hop series. 

Dripping with atmosphere and intrigue is the title track 'Good Morning, Sunshine', which features a rolling vintage-jazz sample, crisp drums, and a vocal hook from Raymon Chandler's The Big Sleep. Hot on its heels is followed up by 'Oohh!', a unique swung-out groover featuring a very Fritzy-sample from a country-inspired jazz album - yee haw!

Tracklist:
1. Good Morning, Sunshine
2. Oohh!

Good Morning, Sunshine

The Fritz - Good Morning, Sunshine

Hailing from Falmouth, UK, The Fritz is known for his jazzy sample-based lo-fi glitchy bangers.  Always digging deep, his works give a nod to the Golden Era of Hip Hop with a boom bap style and blend of vintage film noir samples.

This time he returns to Ragtime Records with his third single, Roll Up Roll Up, a sultry glitched-out Jazz Hop banger that's more atmospheric than a bag of crisps in space, with dusty hip-hop drums, a low end that's just right, and a unique vibe that's reminiscent of sci-fi, the roaring 20s, and an acid trip - think Blade Runner meets the Great Gatsby. 

On the flip side is Swing Time Roller, a hypnotic head-nodder similar in style to Fritz's second single, 'Good Morning, Sunshine', with a loop that flows for days and will have you hitting 'repeat' on Spotify before you've reached the end of the track.

The Kitchen of Tomorrow is an infectiously fun Jazz beat from The Fritz that features a rolling piano loop, crisp percussion, and silky-smooth scratch cuts.

Inspired by Mark Farina's Mushroom Jazz series, The Kitchen of Tomorrow is similar in style to DJ Food, Paul Nice, or early Mr Scruff. This latest release from Fritz, who hails from Devon, is the perfect addition to a Jazzy hip-hop mixtape, a cafe Jazz playlist, or a chilled-out festival opening set. 

On the b-side is I'm Going Crazy, a country and western inspired Jazz beat featuring some iconic vocals, clever sample chops, and Fritz's iconic golden-era soundscape.

The Fritz - The Kitchen of Tomorrow

Stuck Up There is the latest instalment in The Fritz's exploration through  obscure jazz records and 1960s sci-fi. With a melancholy sample, the tune tells the story of a group of astronauts who are unable to get home after their  spaceship breaks down on the Moon.  
As the vocal sings 'misery, you've got to go', the astronauts look back at Earth  and lament that they'll never be able to describe the beauty of the view to  anyone back home.  
Coupled with Fritz's unique drum sound and crisp production, this latest  release form Ragtime Records is surely destined to get Stuck Up There after  you've played it through your headphones.

Homeostasis

Seasoned party rockers Father Funk & Bear Twists deliver their first EP under their new alias Tuxedo Junction - serving up a stiff cocktail of Swing, Jazz and Bass, tailor made for the dancefloor.

“Swing, Shaken Not Stirred” does just what it says on the tin, shaking up the Electro Swing sound by combining elements of Electro, Glitch Hop, Drum & Bass and Garage with the sultry sounds of Swing and Jazz.

Featuring collaborations with swing veterans C@ in the H@ and Captain Flatcap, and already receiving support from heavyweights such as Stickybuds, Defunk and WBBL, Tuxedo Junctions debut EP is set to cause quite the stir (or should I say shake) this summer.

Digging the swing vibes, good production and fat bass, nice job guys.
- Stickybuds

Super fresh and very interesting, banging!
- Basement Freaks

Every other swing producer should be shaking in their tiny swing pants after hearing tuxedo junction. Next level on every level
- WBBL

Bumpin party music with that sweet tang of swing and jazz music. Fun for all kinds of music lovers. Love the variety of beats!
- Defunk

Unearthing Father Funk’s new EP is like discovering the missing link between the festival dance floor of today and the smokey late night jazz clubs of yesteryear. Niiiice!
